    Hi! How do i multiply objects in cinema 4d without using moggraph and particles. I am trying to fill an number, “5” i removed the top and I want to fill it with other shapes, just like filling a pitcher with small sphere. I am suing dynamics and I like the movement but it’s only one object I don’t want to create so many layers, is there any other way to do this? particles perhaps and deflectors? can i use a polygon shape as a deflector?

    This is pretty straight forward with thinking particles. This should help you:

    Hi randy, I went to the site and followed the tutorial, it was a good one but It wasn’t the one that I was looking for it taught me how to spill objects out of the bucket but what I want to do is to fill the bucket, I can’t seem to find a way to reverse it.

    Sorry about that I miss understood.
    You can fill it up with TP but is not very convincing. You can do it with dynamics too but that will only work with a few objects. The best answer is Remotion Phytools.

    But here is an example with TP:

    and
    There is one posted here for Dynamics

    You may want to think about if you really need to stack the objects or if you can fake that they are being piled in there…
    good luck,
    /Randy
