Here’s a quick movie and the r10 file:

With Mograph, I would take your base object, select all polys, and run the functions>disconnect command with “preserve groups” unchecked. Then create a MoGraph Fracture Object and make your basic object it’s child. Change the fracture’s mode to “explode segments”.
Now you can assign effectors to the fracture object and they will affect the individual polys of your base object. So you create multiple spline effectors and animate their strengths in sequence to cause your exploded object to travel from one spline to the next. (do the explosion itself with an animated random effector).
The downside is that the fracture object can be very memory intensive if it has to deal with lots of polygons. Worth a try anyway.

Cinema does natively support DEMs, but not all varieties. There are a number of free programs that translate between the formats.

It does take some getting used to, but IMO it’s worth the effort. The Timeline and F-Curves in particular are much improved over previous versions. Not sure why you can’t get a waveform to show up. What steps are you taking to load the sound file?

Hi Michael,
You should have a TP preset for particle paths. I would imagine that studying that setup would be the best place to start.
If you have MoGraph this could be done much more easily.

I’ve heard that Unity works very well with Cinema.

Here’s the tutorial link, btw: https://www.creativecow.net/articles/hansen_jaysen/growing/index.html

I don’t know what software they used, but I suspect the growing stuff was done in a compositing application like AE. There’s a very good tutorial on this site showing how to do it in AE.

Also, it appears that VRay for C4D will appear for PC and Mac at or about the same time.

I don’t think it’s possible. AFAIK you’ll have to render all the relevant passes and then turn off the reflection pass. You could precomp everything sans reflections to tidy up the AE timeline.
