For motion designers working in Cinema 4D, precision and control are key. When creating complex models or working with polygon-heavy assets, knowing the exact dimensions of your geometry can save hours of guesswork and prevent scaling issues down the line. That’s where the Cinema 4D Polygon Dimension Calculator comes in — a lightweight, easy-to-use Python…
Ever wished your camera could perfectly frame a rectangle spline without manual tweaking? This Python Tag does exactly that—automatically positioning your camera at the ideal distance to match your render resolution and focal length. No guesswork, just clean framing. 🎯 What It Does This script aligns your camera to a Rectangle Spline and calculates the…
🎬 Aligning Textures to Polygons in Cinema 4D with Python If you’ve ever tried to manually align a texture to a specific polygon in Cinema 4D, you know the pain: fiddling with UVs, guessing projection scales, and praying for pixel-perfect alignment. This Python script changes the game. Designed with motion designers in mind, it automates…
Speed Up Your C4D Workflow: Free Python Script to Create 3D Halftone Art from Any Image In the world of motion design, being able to quickly create complex and eye-catching patterns is always a plus. Classic “halftone” effects come to mind, especially when we want to create these patterns based on an image or texture.…
Mosaic Tile Extruder: A Python Generator Script for Cinema 4D The Mosaic Tile Extruder script for Cinema 4D is a powerful Python generator tool designed specifically for motion designers and 3D artists. It converts images into stunning 3D mosaic tiles by dividing the image into grid tiles and extruding each tile based on its brightness.…
You can assign your materials (up to 3 materials) directly to the Python Generator object. You should change their selection names to Color1, Color2, and Color3. Mondrian Subdivide Script: A Python Generator for Cinema 4D The Mondrian Subdivide Script is a Cinema 4D Python generator that enables artists to create abstract, grid-based designs inspired by…
Here is a useful Cinema 4D Python Script that creates a simple dialogue with arrows to set the axis to corners easily. Axis Repositioning Tool: A Cinema 4D Python Script The Axis Repositioning Tool is a Cinema 4D Python script designed to streamline the process of repositioning the axis of selected objects. With a simple,…
For motion and graphic designers, creating procedural geometry that automatically adapts to your splines can save hours of repetitive work. Whether you’re animating ribbons, roads, cloth, or text along paths, precision and automation are key. That’s why the SmartPlane Automation Python Tag for Cinema 4D is a game-changer. This small but powerful tool ensures that…
When working in Cinema 4D, splines are at the heart of many creative workflows — from motion design paths, extrusions, and animation trajectories to logo outlines and 3D typography setups.But one thing Cinema 4D doesn’t show by default is the exact length of a spline — which can be incredibly useful for precise animation timing,…
If you’ve ever modeled or animated in Cinema 4D, you know how important it is to have a clean and even polygon grid. Whether you’re adding displacement, deformers, cloth simulation, or just preparing assets for motion graphics, having properly sized segments on your plane objects can make all the difference. Manually tweaking width and height…
