CINEMA 4D MOGRAPH TOOLS

Cinema 4D (C4D) is a big piece of software, with tons of powerful tools. Packaged with C4D is a pretty important module called MoGraph, designed specifically for the needs of the motion graphics designer. MoGraph 2 arrived with Cinema 4D R11.5, and expanded the original toolset by adding PolyFX, MoSpline, and MoDynamics. MoGraph adds a series of procedural modeling and animation tools designed to collect many of the things that motion graphics designers need in one place. The best way to see the MoGraph toolset is to switch to the Broadcast layout.
