      Hi Michael, try refreshing the page. If that doesn’t work then you can right click and choose “watch on vimeo”. Or else try it in another browser.

      I’m sorry, I shouldn’t joke so much. This is a really fun modifier. Thanks so much for the tip.

    Nice tip Jonathon. I bet you could do some cool abstract animations with this and the previous tutorial on driving shapes with audio.

    If you use the cube and you bump it up all the way to 10, it kind of looks like the little spiky thing that appears in the Windows Screensaver that goes from cube, to sphere, to spiky flower thing

    When I click to add Empty, I don’t get the wireframe like the video. What do I press to get that?

    LOL that cuboid part when u were messing with it reminded me of the old windows 98 screensaver that changed to all those weird shapes and colors and floated around the screen!
