Formula Deformer, Effecter and Spline Hints and Tips - Tutorial
In this tutorial I will be showing you the three different "Formula" tool's in Cinema 4D. You have the Spline, Deformer and the Effector tool's.

Formulas used in order are.....
OBJECT PROPERTIES - Anything in the "quotations" marks is the formula feel free to copy and paste.
X = "200*sin(t*pi)"
Y = "20*t"
Z = "400*cos(t*pi*8)"
Tmin = "20"
Tmax = "-4"
Samples = "51"
Tick "Cubic Interpolation" to make more rounded.
Effector default settings are.....
"sin(((id/count)+t)*360.0)" this will give you a full loop every 30 frames. As you divide the "360.0" in the formula ie 180 = 60 frames 90 = 120 and so on....... You can also replace the "+" for a "*" and the "360.0" for "pi".
Play around with the numbers and see what you come up with remember you can put more then one "Effector" or "Deformer" on any object that will let you.
Flat wall ripple effect settings are....
"Sin((u*t*pi)*1.0*1)*0.1" this works best on "Y Radial"

Look out for more of these tutorials, even as I am uploading this video I am learning new formula tricks.
