In computer graphics software Cinema 4D (C4D), the action of “Parenting to Last Object Selected” refers to establishing a hierarchical relationship between two or more objects, where the selected object becomes the child of the last object selected. This technique allows for efficient organization and control over the movement and transformation of objects within a 3D scene.
Parenting objects in C4D offers several advantages. Firstly, it enables the user to manipulate multiple objects simultaneously, as any changes applied to the parent object will be inherited by its children. This simplifies the animation process and helps maintain consistency throughout complex scenes. Secondly, parenting allows for the creation of complex hierarchies, where objects can be nested within multiple levels of parent-child relationships. This hierarchical structure provides greater flexibility and control over the organization of a scene, making it easier to manage large and intricate projects.
