In this short tutorial, I show you some more of the features available in the Cinema4D MoGraph module.

By using the Sort option in the Cloner, you can use Effectors to determine which clone from the hierarchy is displayed.

The Sorted option in the Random Effector allows you to use each child of the cloner the same number of times, or in combination with the multishader you can ensure the shaders are distributed evenly across your clones. Great for things like playing cards where you don’t want duplicate clones.

I was asked a question on www.fxphd.com how to alternate between two colours on a set of stairs that someone had built.

Stairs alternating colour

I came up with three simple solutions that use the shader effector, the color shader and the multi shader.

I thought I’d share the file here.
