  • Can I Bend an Effector?

    Posted by Loay El-aswad on July 27, 2011 at 9:38 am

    Hello Everybody,
    I’m working on a Logo animation that a plain effector is traveling across the logo and revealing some geometry in it. Now, I want to bend the plain effector I’m using to fit my logo curve. Can I do something like that or it’s impossible? I’m using Cinema 4D R12.
    Here is a screen shot of what I’m talking about:

    Thanks in advance.

    I don’t think it’s possible to bend effectors, unless you’re using an actual spline for the falloff. I think the best you could do is use a chain of plain effectors (perhaps with align to spline) and bend the chain.

    It seems I couldn’t. This is a new feature should be added to C4D. Thank you, Adam.
