# Array Object

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page covers the **Array object** in **Cinema 4D**, a modeling generator. It arranges copies of its child object in a circular or animatable wave pattern — a lightweight alternative to the Cloner for simple radial duplications.

The Array object (Create / Modeling) creates copies of an object and arranges them in a spherical form or wave form. The wave (amplitude) can be animated.

The original object must be a Child of the array. The copies are placed around the array object's origin.
