The Full Collection
If you like to be fully equipped with all available tools, then the full collection is a perfect solution. Pick the full collection saving $181 and enjoy the richest MoGraph assets library on the market. Scroll down to see why it's worth.
Advanced Waves
With this setup you'll forget about the Formula Effector. This Setup offers 24 formula parameters controlling the function shape and behavior. That will give you surprising flexibility and boost your creative flow.
Sequence Falloff
With the Sequence Falloff you can quickly manipulate the strength of your effector with a desired rhythm. With the user interface you can set beats per minute, pattern length, change motion range for each beat individually and adjust easing type and strength.
Sequence Falloff is more advanced version of the Pulse Falloff and it's even better tool for artists making motions synchronized with music.
Pattern Falloff
This setup was built for creating dash-gap pattern very easily. With a simple user interface with 6 controls, you can create up to 4 dash-gap sequences in one pattern. Then, the same pattern repeats over all instances of your setup. You can also animate an inverse of the pattern with the slider and keyframes or use an automatic inverse animation loop.
Vector Rotator
This special Setup rotates instances around a common vector, which you can offset and rotate achieving unexpected spatial animations. With 11 controls you can manipulate the vector and behavior parameters to perform peculiar motion structures.
Interference Noise
Is this another regular noise? Absolutely not. This Setup is based on 3 interfering formulas performing simultaneously, but with different behaviors. Thanks to that you can achieve organic feel of the animated noise. You can loop it over time and use images as function arguments, creating animated semantic structures. This kind of noise you won't find in the standard Cinema 4D noise library.
3D Wave
This setup is slightly different because it uses two effectors sharing the same parameters, but with offset of 1/2 Pi. That creates a circular 3D animation which you can manipulate using 9 available controls.
Slider Falloff
With the Slider Falloff you can animate effector progression with one slider. Additionally you can change the falloff profile, width, reverse the ramp or repeat evenly throughout all instances.
Flying Waves
The Flying Waves Setup simulates wavy animation over group of the instances. This is an alternative to the Waves Setup, with a different characteristic of the function.
Step Progress
This Setup animates instances over the time automatically or with a manual slider. You can define progression steps, randomize progression order, ease motion and many more. This setup is perfect for automated progressive motions with 14 controls in total.
Wave Steps
This Setup is made for creating wavy animation with a quantitation effect. You can control number of steps and create random quantitated pattern and repeat it as many times as you want. The setup has 13 controls in total.
Pulse Falloff
With the Pulse Falloff you can quickly manipulate the strength of your effector with a continuous pulse. With the user interface you can change range, adjust the speed and easing. It's a perfect tool for artists making motions synchronized with music. The pulse falloff is a simplified version of The Sequence Falloff.
Every nth Falloff
With this Setup you can include or exclude every nth instance from being influenced by an effector. You can also offset, invert or randomize the pattern. It's a simplified version of the Pattern Falloff.
Moving Waves
The Moving Waves is another formula-based Setup with 10 different parameters allowing changing the function's shape and behavior.
Random Steps
This Setup is made for creating randomized sin/cos animation with a quantitation effect. You can control number of steps and create random quantitated pattern and repeat it as many times as you want. The setup has 11 controls in total.
Waves
If you like the Formula effector, but it takes too long to write formulas, this setup is just for you. It gives instant access to 14 formula parameters controlling the function shape and behavior. That means more creative power and flexibility.
Still not sure what is Cinema Setups?
Cinema Setups is a creative toolset, built inside Cinema 4D based on MoGraph Effectors, Fields, Xpresso, User Data and Formulas.
Why do you need Cinema Setups?
Because it helps in creating advanced procedural setups, combine and manipulate them with simple user interface. You can use it with everything that is related to the Fields, like Cloner, Effectors, Deformers, X-particles, Vertex Tag etc.
Advantages
Create complex MoGraph animations faster.
Discover new lands in a C4D's MoGraph world.
Surprise yourself with results of your own creative work.
You can (if you want) learn more about Xpresso, Fields and Formulas - it's an open source
Delivery
It's not a plugin. It's a set of setups, presets and examples delivered within Cinema 4D files. Each setup contains presets to help you start faster. You can browse them using a Take System.
Packages
You can choose any single Setup, the Full Collection or smaller packages, grouped based on setups functionality. However the Full Collection has the biggest creative potential as it contains 4 exclusive setups and 40 examples. You'll find there how setups can be combined into more complex scenes.
Try it for Free
If you're not sure if this is the right solution for you, you can check a free setup and watch tutorial about using it.
Compatibility
Cinema 4D R19 or higher (due to the FIelds System), but tested only on Cinema 4D R21 and higher. So if you work on R19 or R20, check the free setup first. If it works fine on your machine, then you're ready to go with the other setups!
