Our surface is taking shape nicely. Only the number of clones needs to be increased. Set the Cloner object’s X
and Z count to 25 each. In order to increase the density of the surface, the clones need to be closer together.
To do this, change the Cloner object’s Size X and Z values from 200 to 150 (the left and right fields). The
Y-value can remain unchanged since we haven’t cloned the cube in the Y direction. Your scene should now
look like this:
All we need now is a Target Object and a Target Effector. Create a Target Effector by selecting the Cloner
object in the Object Manager and subsequently selecting Target Effector from the MoGraph menu (main
menu: MoGraph/Effector/Target).
Note: Always make sure that the Cloner object is selected when adding an Effector. The Effector will then
automatically be added to the Cloner object’s Effectors tab. Otherwise you may forget to add the Effector
manually and wonder why the Effector is not working. You can read more about Effectors in the integrated
CINEMA 4D documentation files.
By having selected the Cloner object subsequently assigning the Effector on the Cloner object’s Effectors
page is no longer necessary. The Effector already knows it should affect the Cloner object.
