You can activate Tools>Modes>Camera and you’ll then see the editor camera’s coordinates, rotation, and zoom values in the coordinates manager.

I got you. As you say, it should work fine with falloff. But … looking more closely at your screenshots, I see that you’ve got all of your clones (the top nulls) in exactly the same place, which is why the falloff is affecting them all the same way. In order for mograph to adjust the clones’ positions individually, mograph has to establish the position of the objects.
If you can post the scene file I’ll check and see if I can find a workaround.

Well, that’s why they call it the “plain” effector! 🙂 It’s doing what it’s designed to do.
Try using the step effector instead.

Much easier to show it than explain it: https://www.3danvil.com/tutorials/shader%20effector%20visibility/shader%20effector%20visibility/shader%20effector%20visibility.mp4

Are you talking about the blockiness? Hard to say without seeing a pic of what it’s supposed to look like.

Are you using MoGraph, standard particles, Thinking Particles, plugins…?

I’ve not heard of anyone else having this issue. Have you reported it to Maxon?

You can do that with a Constraint tag, using the spring constraint:

Or you can use the jiggle deformer:

Dynamics can be quite tricky. The main problem in your file is that you have the main box’s collision set to automatic, which in effect assigns a collision shape in the form of a solid cube. You need to set that “moving mesh”.
I’ve played around with your file to get something close to what I think you’re looking for. It’s going to be tough because the spring connector’s themselves don’t recognize collisions. I made quite a few tweaks, including to the box and letter’s damping settings. I made the hinge work by keyframing its angle limit.

When you add the morph tag, check “parameters” and “hierarchy” in the tag’s Basic tab. That should do the trick.
