B4D Tools 1.4.1 (Cloners or Advance Arrays like C4D)

B4D Tools are tools to help the C4D Artists on Blender. As a user of Cinema 4D most feature the MoGraph system, I decided to create a similar tool in Blender.

As well for non-C4D Artists are great tools for cloning assets.

Get B4D Tools BCloners 1.4.1 for 4.99 €. (The price will change with respect to the number of available tools in the future).

NEW!! Preferences Option to choose if you want the addon on T or N panel.

Installation:

- Fast and easy installation => Check here:

How does it work?

With 1 Click you can create the common Cloner Mograph on Blender with this tool.

What kind of objects can be cloned with B4D Tools?

- BCloners -

- With 6 BCloners:

- Addon Version easy to use.

- Asset Browser Version easy to use.

- Futures updates are included in both versions.

- Enjoy!

Requirements:

Blender 3.6.5 and above.

Disclaimer: The B4D Tools were tested only with the official 3.6.5 stable versions.

BCloner Spline:

- Now you can use the radius spline parameter to control the size of the instances.

ALL EFFECTORS:

- Fixed all empty controls for all Effectors, now they have scale parameter reset.

- Fixed the soft transition with custom shape Falloff option.

Effectors Plain, Formula, Random, NoiseTex, ImageTex, Sound,

Step, Time and Volume:

- Added Offset Time Option, this gives the option to add random offset between clones and respect the falloff animation.

- Added Offset Velocity, to control the velocity.

Effector Time:

- Added Multiply/Divide,Negative,Time Offset and Relative Offset options to better control with the animation time.

Effector Formula:

- Added Speed Multiply parameter, allows to control the speed of the animation.

Push Apart Effector:

- Added Frame Stop Simulation, you can choose which frame do you want to stop the simulation. (This option will updated with Bake Node when the Blender 4.1 is released).

BTracer:

- Added Attribute spline_index, with this you can isolate every spline generated for shading proporses, using the attribute node in the shader editor.

- Added Attribute point_index, with this you can isolate every point curve for shading proporses, using the attribute node in the shader editor.

- Added Attribute spline_factor, with this you can use the factor of every spline for shading proporses, using the attribute node in the shader editor.

- Added Attribute spline_length, with this you can use the factor of every spline for shading proporses, using the attribute node in the shader editor.

Multishader Material:

- Added Randomize Material option between all material slots.

- Added Seed to change the randomization.

- Added Use Custom Number of Slot Materials and Randomize Option. This allows to use a few materials for all instances.
