Pattern Selection
Easily create pattern selections in C4D
Description
Here's a quick little plugin for making pattern selections in Cinema 4D
Requirements
- Cinema 4D R12 (32 or 64 bit)
- Windows or Mac OSX
Instructions
In either point or polygon mode make a selection such as with the loop selection tool. Launch the "Pattern Selection Modifier" plugin from the Python > Plugins folder. Tweak the settings until you get the desired pattern. Close the plugin window.
The plugin works on both point base objects as well as splines. If no points/polys are selected then all points/polys will be used in the pattern. All the settings should be self explanitory except probably for "Multiplier." Multiplier is useful if you have a loop selection that is, for instance, 3 rows tall. If you put 3 as the multiplier it will treat all three rows as one. In the example image I put 18 as the multiplier on the torus because that's the number of segments in the ring.
Installation
Unzip and place in your Cinema 4D/plugins directory and restart Cinema
The tool will appear in your top menu bar under the Python > Plugins menu.
