Looking to create looping animations in Cinema 4D, and end up just copying the keyframes over and over? Well no more! If you're familiar with After Effects Expressions, you can loop animations using the loopOut expression. If you do this with the MoText selected in Cinema 4D, it will automatically be applied to the letters of the text. To set up the letter-by-letter animation, first go to MoGraph > Effector, and choose an effector. Be sure to also learn about the second part of this process of linking Optical Flares to Cinema 4D Animations in After Effects using Cineware. To learn about setting up the custom materials on the Text Caps, check out this tutorial. Digging into the falloff settings for each Effector is really where you can push what you can do with MoGraph Effectors and create modular, re-useable animation systems. I've gotten a couple questions lately on how I put together the intro sequence for my Tutorials, and this tutorial gets into just that! This tutorial covers the process of applying MoGraph Effectors to MoText, as well as setting up the Effector Properties, animating strength, and adjusting and animating the falloff. In this 3 D Animation tutorial, I go over how to use MoGraph Effectors on MoText objects, in order to create letter-by-letter Text animations.

The MoGraph and Cloner system is one of the biggest unique features of working in Cinema 4D. In Cinema 4D, you can use MoGraph and Effectors to do all sorts of cool animation.
