The Cloner Object, Our New Best Friend
Take a look at the cloner object in each of its four different forms; examine the basic parameters and the way the cloner object creates its clones. The cloner object is one of the primary tools utilized in the Mograph module and can be integrated with every other tool within the module. Understanding its basic functions is crucial to working with and understanding the others.
Intro to Effectors
Take a broad look at each of the different effectors. Effectors are used to control and animate the position, scale and rotation parameters and can be used to control any object with an effectors tab (the majority of the Mograph objects). Their ability to control more than one object (multiple cloner objects for example) allows for extremely powerful and complex animation with very little set up.
Intro to Modynamics
A favorite aspect of the Mograph 2 module, Modynamics allows for complex rigid-body dynamic simulations that can be set-up instantly and adjusted infinitely. Modynamics can simulate from dominoes falling to glass shattering with unparalleled ease and speed. A breakdown of the basic setup and a couple of examples will get you on your way to creating phenomenal dynamics.
The Other Objects
Learn more about other objects including the Matrix, Text, Fracture, and Instance Objects. Explore the differences and similarities of the Matrix and Cloner objects as well as how to use them in tandem. Mographs Text Object is an incredibly powerful way to generate text which the spline text tool simply cannot contend with. The Fracture Object allows for animated (or dynamic) deconstruction and separation of polygonal objects and the instance objects is great for creating trails of objects.
Mographs Spline Tools
The spline tools offered by Mograph are examined briefly here with a basic overview of their creation and a couple of ideas for using them. They are extremely useful for creating splines from motion (creating spline trails from each vertex of a moving object for instance) or for generating organic and repetitive splines that can be cloned and even effected by forces or dynamics.
Mographs Deformation Tools
The deformation objects allow for extremely powerful deformations of any object. From the displace deformer, which creates visible (in the viewport) deformations based on shader channels to the spline wrap, which can align or stretch objects along a spline. These tools create very easy shortcuts to problems that would have needed to involve much more complex solutions otherwise.
