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…
Recently I needed to add Scalar User Data to 200 Cinema 4D Redshift materials (bitmap) in order to control their opacity with effectors and fields. It was extremely time consuming and boring process so I decided to write an useful Cinema 4D Python Script which does it automatically in seconds to all materials. Basically It…
Here is a handy Cinema 4D Python Script that adds cloner index number as prefix to children’s names.
Compare multiple splines and align their sequence direction:
Introduction: Many 3D artists and motion designers rely on Cinema 4D for its robust toolkit. Sometimes, you need a quick way to generate a spline with a precise shape—like a clean semi-circle—between two specific points in your scene. This short Python tag script does exactly that, automatically creating a perfectly arched spline between two Null…
