Plain Effector

Discover how to use the Plain Effector in Cinema 4D to apply uniform, consistent transformations like position, scale, and rotation to cloned objects, providing a simple yet powerful tool for foundational motion graphics animation.

The Plain Effector applies equal transformation effects across all clones or MoGraph objects without complex falloffs or patterns. It’s ideal as a base effector for uniform movement, scaling, or rotation and can be combined with other effectors and weight maps for layered, sophisticated animations. This non-destructive and fully animatable tool makes quick testing and straightforward animation control easy and efficient.
