    I am making a video of two game contestants and need to create the effect of hundreds of balls falling and crushing the losing contestant. How do i use C4D to get balls to fall down and pile on top of one another, forming a mountain?
    Thanks

    can you be a bit more specific? how do i get them to fall to create a mountain shape when they pile one on top of another? do i need dynamics for that?

    My initial thought would be to import a mesh that represents the mountain and then use a cloner object with a sphere and turn on object mode and select the mountain mesh as the object for the spheres to attach to…then you could use an effector to animate the spheres falling into place.

    Hope that helps
