I am pulling out my hair trying to understand how to do this. I have a helix on the xy axis. all I want to do, is move the points of the spline in an arc in 3D space on the z axis and have the other points follow to create a smooth transition to the destination. right now all I can do is try to edit the points one by one which is irritating. soft selection doesn't work.

Help!

Hello. I have educational licenses for C4D and Insydium Fuse Maintenance (X-Particles). I'd like to buy the full Insydium Fused Complete version. Can i install and run the full version of Insydium Fused Complete, if i'm using a C4D edu license?

Thx!

ooh I see. u duplicated the spline and changed the states of each by hand. I thought u were animating from the curved spline to the flat spline and the plain effector did the rest. is that correct?

ah I see. I didn't apply your solution properly .

where am I going wrong with this?

so I guess all I need is a template or to understand how to modify your solution so I can apply that workflow to all my splines

ah yes...some context would help, sorry.

What I need is to do is apply the workflow solution you shared using the cloner and plain effector, to all of these shapes. I can get the length of the curved spline by hitting Mode < Project Info, then I can create a spline of equal length that's flat that represents the second flat state. so all I need is a way to apply ur workflow to all my shapes so I can make them flat. I can see that u used custom color fields in your example but I'm not sure how to apply your solution to all my splines. sorry if that doesn't make sense...my wife tells me that I'm a bad communicator...hahaha

hi dr.sassi!

Im trying to apply the workflow above to different splines but I don't understand how to get it working.

Can you please advise?

how did u match the exact length of the curled spline to the straight spline? I didn't know one could blend the state of a spline using a cloner!
