Cylinder gradually appears animation

[Gloria]

Hi Dr. Sassi,
I would like to make the animation that the cylinder gradually appears as below link. (from 31-33sec).

However, I've tried for several effect and couldn't make the same one as video. (see attached C4D file).

Would you give me some advice? Thank you.

You could try turning off uniform scale so it only affects Y in your field parameters, and set it it a minus number.

Good Morning Gloria,

Thanks for the demo video.

Here is an example of the new Field Driver in 2025.

Let me know if you need this effect for another version of Cinema 4D.
It will be a little bit more complex, but possible.

All the best

@DaveMDarcy
Much appreciate for your reply.

I would like to have the effect that the cylinder appears from the bottom to the top or from the top to the bottom.
The solution you suggested appears to be that the cylinder appears from the middle, and reaches out to the bottom and top at the same time.

However, thanks a lot for your help again.
