A still from the animation.

Who doesn't like happy accidents? I wanted to create a promotional video and then THIS happened. Mo-Graphs in Cinema 4D have so far been the most amazing things I've played around with. The system is simpler than it looks. With just around 100 cubes wrapped around a sphere's faces (the sphere does not render though). Whenever the sphere interacts with an invisible plane it scales the size of the cube in the Y direction by 2.5% and turns it purple in colour.
