The Blend Mode in Cinema 4D's Cloner makes it easy create an auditorium.

Arranging a grid of MoGraph Clones along a spline in Cinema 4D can be tricky, because the outside of the curve requires more clones than the inside. In this Quicktip, I'll show you an easy way to generate theater or auditorium seating that curves around the stage. The key is the Cloner's Blend mode, combined with C4D's built-in controls for cloning along a spline. This technique is also handy for creating a curved point-of-sale display in product visualization, or all kinds of motion graphics effects.
