Trefoil Knot formula

MaverickMongoose · Jul 7, 2023, 1:27 AM

Hi Sassi,

I'm trying to get my head around the Formula Object (the one that creates a spline). And have been trying to create a Trefoil Knot for a few hours without any luck.

Is it possible to somehow input the formula from this image to create the effect? I tried just inputting it into the Formula fields but it just makes a straight line, Im wondering if I just need to write it differently?

Thanks again!

Hi maverickMongoose,

Please have a look here:
CV4_2023_drs_23_MOtk_01.c4d

Is that working for you (Note it is tiny with just that formula).

works like a charm! I had a feeling you'd figure it out straight away. I can give all those formulas online a try now!

Thanks again Sassi!
