Signal is a powerful animation plugin for Cinema 4D, allowing artists to animate any parameter without keyframes using a procedural, drag-and-drop workflow. It is designed to simplify the creation of loops, stop-motion effects, and music-timed animations, and is used widely in commercial and film production environments. The latest version integrates with Cinema 4D Fields, offers advanced modifiers, and is available exclusively via Greyscalegorilla Plus membership.
