Hi, guys let a look at this technique in Blender using Animation nodes. We are going to recreate Step Effector scene, we have seen many times released from the Cinema 4D artists, now we can recreate it in Blender with Animation nodes tools.

How to recreate Step Effector in Blender?

This effect seen many times recreated in Cinema 4D, is based on a very simple clone technique. Allowing 3d artists to perform different clones of the object altering the mesh in the final scene.

In Blender we can recreate the same effect through Animation nodes, these are instances and distributions and matrix offsets, surely the procedure is more complicated than how it is made in C4D but the result is the same.

What are Animation nodes in Blender?

Animation Nodes is a visual scripting system designed to create animations in Blender. Like most Mograph tools, it allows you to procedurally create instances and animations. Created by Jacques Lucke, Animation Nodes is now part of the Blender team.

Jacques Lucke is also working on a larger project called “Everything Nodes“.
