For those who don’t know the tool: B4D Tools is a motion graphics add-on for Blender, built around cloners, effectors, fields, tracers and material tools. It sits beside Blender instancing, not inside a separate DCC.
Cloners, fields and friends
As a Blender add-on, B4D Tools 1.5.1 packages BCloners, effectors, fields, object tools and material tools for motion graphics setups. BCloner modes include Linear, Radial, Grid, HoneyComb, Object and Spline. Advanced distributions include 2D Grid, Cannonball, Partition, Smart Hex, Spline Bed, Stack and Custom Distribution.
Effectors and object tools
Effectors include Plain, Random, Step, Target, Delay, Image Tex, Noise Tex, Sound, Inheritance, Spline, Volume, Time, Formula and Push Apart. Field tools cover Basic Fields, Random, Image Tex, Sound, Formula, Object Proximity, Spline Object, Step, Time, Set Vertex Weight and Mix fields or Selections. Modifier Field options include Clamp, ColorRamp, Curve, Invert, Map Range and Quantize.
Materials and animation helpers
Object tools include BFracture, BMoText, BTracer, BEmitter, BMograph Animator and Camera Tools. Material tools include Global Material, Multishader, Mapping Color To Instances, Shader Falloff, Images as SlotMats and Override Multishader. It is a broad box of motion bits, which is helpful if your idea of fun is avoiding another hand-built cloner rig at 1 a.m.
