PolygonPen shows an easy way to create braided cables using splines in C4D.

A new tutorial from PolygonPen shows us an easy way to model hard-surface cables in Cinema 4D, modeling them “fat” and then using splines to conform them into the final shape. It’s an easy way to make braided and hard-surface cables to add details to other work.

One of PolygonPen’s last tutorials also covered working with splines to create cables and using soft body dynamics to make the tape that holds them in a bundle.
