Smart Hex Distribution

What is it about?

This page documents the Smart Hex Distribution, a node asset for the Cloner object in Cinema 4D. It is useful for honeycomb panels, sci-fi shields or hexagonal tiling effects that need precise control over clone spacing, scaling and coloring.

This distribution can be loaded directly via the Browse button of a Cloner Object if the Cloner object uses the Advanced mode. Copies are placed in a regular grid, similar to the standard Honeycomb arrangement of the Cloner object. However, this Nodes Distribution offers even more options for selecting the desired distance between the clones and additional scaling and coloring options.

The Smart Hex Distribution is similar to the Honeycomb arrangement, but offers additional settings regarding the spacing specifications.
