Hi there, im not sure how it is called in universal 3d language, but im gonna try to explain what kind of effect im after;
i have like a few hundred cubes, in my case in the shape of a country. what i’m trying to do is animate all the cubes from up to bottom, so that they ‘‘fall’’ nicely into place. Not at the same time, but with a slight delay between each row of cubes. In cinema 4d its called the (plain) effector.
thanks for you answer, but i think there should be a faster way, i have hundreds of cubes to animate.
i have found an addon called effector. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wtb5R6wck2g
but blender just freezes, it doesnt like that many cubes i guess… but im pretty certain this is a common animation technique
You’ll need the Animation Nodes addon for that, it brings great motion graphics capabilities for Blender.
Check out this site for a great introduction and tutorials on the addon https://squircleart.github.io/index.html
