0626 shows how a Displacer, Fields, Splines, and more can build and animate pipes procedurally in Cinema 4D.

Growth animation always captures our imaginations. In 3D, there are many ways that you can approach growth, and you may encounter different levels of complexity depending on your app of choice. Whether you are growing vines or pipes, check out this solution within Cinema 4D that’s simple and effective.

A new tutorial from 0626 shows how you can use a few tricks within Cinema 4D to grow pipes procedurally. The techniques shown display a way to control a displacer by using fields in the scene. The pipes also use splines and random width for variation along the length of the object.
