Randomizing Keyframe Timing in Cinema 4D with Python

When animating in Cinema 4D, perfectly aligned keyframes can sometimes feel too mechanical. Adding subtle randomness to timing often makes motion more organic, lively, and visually appealing. This Python script introduces a Randomize Timing Options dialog that lets you offset selected keyframes by random amounts, giving your animation a natural, less predictable rhythm. What the…

Scaling Keyframe Timing in Cinema 4D with Python

Motion designers often face the challenge of adjusting animation timing across multiple objects. Whether you’re extending a sequence to fit new music or compressing keyframes for snappier motion, doing this manually can be tedious. This Python script for Cinema 4D introduces a custom dialog that makes scaling and extending keyframe timing far more intuitive. What…

Animating Smarter in Cinema 4D: A Deep Dive Into the “Fading Random Time Offset” Python Field

If you’ve ever tried to animate a large group of objects in Cinema 4D—clones, shapes, mograph elements—you’ve probably run into the same problem: everything moves the same way, at the same time, unless you break your workflow with extra effectors, delay setups, or messy keyframes. This Python Field solves that. The Fading Random Time Offset…
