Animating with Deformers – C4D Jumpstart

Learn how to animate with deformers in Cinema 4D.

Discover how to use deformers as a fast and flexible way to animate objects and characters within Cinema 4D. This lesson demonstrates how to apply a Twist deformer to a character mesh and layer it with a Jiggle deformer for secondary motion, emphasizing the importance of object hierarchy for correct calculations. You will also see how to set up a functional rolling door rig using a Bend deformer, with tips on using the “Keep Length” setting to avoid geometry stretching and adjusting deformer coordinates to prevent mesh intersection. By the end of this video, you will understand how to animate deformer parameters and refine your movement curves to create polished, non-destructive motion.
