If you work in motion graphics or product visualization, you know the pain of stacking objects in Cinema 4D. You have two standard options: manually aligning coordinates (tedious) or using a Cloner (restrictive if you need individual control). While there are many Cinema 4D Python scripts out there for stacking, most of them suffer from two major flaws: Today, I’m…
When animating in Cinema 4D, perfectly aligned keyframes can sometimes feel too mechanical. Adding subtle randomness to timing often makes motion more organic, lively, and visually appealing. This Python script introduces a Randomize Timing Options dialog that lets you offset selected keyframes by random amounts, giving your animation a natural, less predictable rhythm. What the…
Motion designers often face the challenge of adjusting animation timing across multiple objects. Whether you’re extending a sequence to fit new music or compressing keyframes for snappier motion, doing this manually can be tedious. This Python script for Cinema 4D introduces a custom dialog that makes scaling and extending keyframe timing far more intuitive. What…
Cinema 4D’s Field system is one of the most powerful tools for procedural animation, clone control, and dynamic effects. The Python script you’ve shared extends the flexibility of Fields by introducing custom fade, dissolve, and randomness behaviors that can be tailored to any MoGraph setup. Let’s break down what this script does, why it’s useful,…
Motion designers often need precise control when aligning objects in 3D space. Whether it’s stacking elements, creating modular layouts, or ensuring clean spacing between animated assets, manual alignment can be time‑consuming and error‑prone. This Python Tag script for Cinema 4D 2025 introduces a smart bounding box alignment system that automates the process. What the Script…
In motion design, timing is everything. Whether you’re animating a logo reveal, orchestrating particle bursts, or building complex procedural sequences, the ability to control when clones activate can make or break the rhythm of your animation. The Weights by Time Effector, originally scripted by Iain Greenhalgh, is a Python‑based Cinema 4D tool that gives designers…
🎬 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…
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,…
Maze Generator in Cinema 4D Using Python An innovative method for generating dynamic maze structures has been developed using Cinema 4D and Python. In this tutorial, we dive into the Maze Generator, which leverages the recursive backtracking algorithm to create intricate maze patterns. This generator not only demonstrates algorithmic artistry but also showcases how Python…
This Cinema 4D Python script automates the renaming process by leveraging an object’s hierarchy. It provides a user-friendly dialog that allows you to choose between two renaming modes: renaming parent objects using the name of their immediate first child, or renaming child objects to match their parent’s name. The script also supports additional customizations, including…
