    For a long time, I have a question in my head, and didn’t find the answer, I hope you will ! ^^ So my main project today is a Transfomers shortfilm. So I got the animation of the transformation but, the pieces stop to move instantly ☹
    Here is my video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQEKLjymI84
    Here is what I mean : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhWTwclb_nE
    In this transformation we can see that the pieces stop to move but they still move a little because of their weight, I don’t know if am clear ^^

    So how to do it in Cinema4D ? Is it possible ?

    Sure, that’s the inertia of the objects overshooting their landing position and then snapping back. In essence, it’s a bounce and a classic technique of animation to give shapes weight.

    You can hand animate that, or use an expression to handle it ,or if you’re working in mograph there is an effector setting that will automate it. I’m not in front of C4D right now but will check on where that hides in Mograph later.
