ART 285: Creating a Wire/Cabling Rig in Cinema 4D for Hard Surface modeling

[@timothypumphrey3210]

This is terrific! I never would have thought of this in a thousand years of working in C4D. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@wieseldesign]

That's just the thing I needed to do my 3D cable work. Thanks for the helpful tutorial!

[@moh1t]

Had no idea the Tracer could be created with nulls like that 🤯 great tutorial!

[@itsdavehimself]

Brilliant. Thanks for sharing!

[@BoldBreak]

Clever stuff nice work!!

[@johnrando6181]

Thank you! Great tutorial

[@sheldondrake8935]

you just solved a problem I've spent about a day trying to research an answer to. Dr. Sassi tried 4 different things and didn't come up with this. Bravo!

[@CaseyFarinaGCC]

What was the problem? Thanks!

[@sheldondrake8935]

@@CaseyFarinaGCC rigid end-piece (attach to spline) attached to end of tube (splineWrap). angle of the end of the tube needs to follow the turning end, not pivot freely

[@PhotoshopRoom]

So useful! Thx man❤

[@sanchez7397]

and i really thank you! now im making iphone cable in natutaly. but spline controll is very hard for me ... but this modeling way is very easy and efficient!!

[@CaseyFarinaGCC]

You're Welcome! I'm glad it was a help

[@sviru007]

this is great

[@andreaselsner9556]

Thanks! Nice One!

[@dmitriy2366]

You Best!

[@ArLong629hk]

Thanks for helpful video! when I set animation, I found the spline rotate180 when the end point from up to down (Y axis) I can off the banking option in sweep that the problem fixed but will make the spline broke when some position Do you know how to fix it?

[@maleeshamevan]

thankyou somuch

[@CaseyFarinaGCC]

You're welcome

[@KNOPKABABLO6]

helpful

[@awakemf3312]

Is there a way to texturize the cables forming the strung individually?

[@JustJo.e]

Can you add spline dynamics on top the rig do where ever you position it, it will still simulate it especially when in motion instead of key framing the control

[@JustJo.e]

So*

[@CaseyFarinaGCC]

Probably, with a few more tags, I might add that to a new version.

[@jreamworks]

yes im curious about how to add dynamics to this set up?@@CaseyFarinaGCC

[@sanchez7397]

I really dont know how do you find this making way?

[@OmniVisionElite]

wont stretching the mesh like this look terrible once you texture?

[@CaseyFarinaGCC]

You could compensate by UV unwrapping after the mesh is set. Or changing the projection tiling in C4D

[@maxblack2582]

Will it work on the R20?

[@CaseyFarinaGCC]

The tracer is an old object so I believe so.

[@matreyia]

cinema 4D 2023 constraint tag does not work at all. I even tested it on simple two primitives, and even on nulls. No idea what's going on.

[@matreyia]

Must be a glitch with the new version, I quit and restarted and it worked.
