Today I go though the settings for the Cubes Tool From CSTools. This plugin is a great way to animate abstract shapes quickly. It’s more of a “Play around with it till it looks good” kind of thing.

another great one nick! thanks man!
ps: i would love to see a vray tut, its so complicated lol
thanks once again! im learning a lot with your tutos
Thanks casko! I haven’t really played around enough with Vray to to a tutorial on it. It was tricky to use. That’s for sure.
more cs tools!! ,thanks Nick these tuts are really helpful.
also thanks to Chris Smith amazing tools.
some multi pass and .aec file tuts would make me and my cat very happy.
have a productive week.
awesome – can’t wait to try this
Re: Bidirectional
If you set the offset first to something other than zero, then bidirectional becomes obvious. When Bidirectional is off but there is an offset, you’ll see the cubes only go in a positive direction. With it on, they offset in both directions. I probably should have put the bidirectional switch AFTER the offset slider, but I thought it was too ugly to do slider/switch/slider
Thanks for the clarification Chris!
Thanks Nick and Chris.
I’ve played with this before but didn’t know how dynamic it really was.
Very dope. It is like the Mograph Module but doesn’t eat up as much ram. Since the cubes use the segments on the poly objects it doesn’t bog it down my cpu as much.
Did something very interesting with it today.
I will post it later
Thanks again fellas!!!
Hi Nick
Thanks for that installment. These are super helpful!
Seeing as you were asking for ideas to make tuts… how about showing some C4D things that are easy in AE like camera depth of field and motion blur?
Just a thought.
Thanks again.
Thanks Gorilla for all this tutorials, but I have a problem with the render of the animations. I don´t know how to make the render with transparency, as quick time movie png.
Thanks again.
Hi there gorilla and thanks for the Video tutorials! I’m stuck with C4D version 9.5-6 (wish I had the money to upgrade). Do you have any links of older versions of the CStools? I know they’ve been around since at least 9.5 but everywhere I find a download link it takes me to the sugar… page that contains the latest version. Feel free to mail them (if possible) or give any link or info possible. Thanks!
i am too late… there is no video already

Thank you,
Greetings from ?stanbul
watched your tutorial yesterday and played a little with cubes and ae. here’s what I came up with: http://www.vimeo.com/9918644
this one is my favorite so far, is it possible to link it to audio?
great tutorial! I wonder if it is possible to make the control number of rows and columns and replacing the animated object?
