Robert Leger pops up with a quick tip for Cinema 4D users where he shows the small but very useful FORMULA SPLINE in Cinema 4D, then shows how they can be animated with some simple expressions.
Quick Tip #3 – Going crazy with the Formula spline from Robert Leger on Vimeo.
“Alright, it’s time to play! Over the last weeks I’ve been experimenting with formulas and especially how to use them to create cool shapes in Cinema 4D. There are quite a few tools in Cinema 4D that use mathematical functions, like i.e. the Mograph Formula effector or the Formula deformer, but in this Quick Tip we will take a look at the Formula spline.
And behold! In the second part of this tutorial I will also show you how to use a C.O.F.F.E.E. node to animate the functions of the Formula spline. Yes, you heard it right, we’ll risk a first glance at C.O.F.F.E.E. :)”
Very helpful, just what I was looking for. Thank you very much. Kudos.
Any idea how to get formula splines to render on a farm? It ends up rendering on one machine and gives errors.
