  Cubic Spline Not Distort All Points?

  Posted by Kevin C. burke on September 13, 2018 at 12:56 am

  Hello,

  I am trying to use a Spline with the Type set to Cubic to deform my mesh and adjusting one point affects the entire Spline. This causes a part of my mesh to dip down.

  When I do this in Maya, using a Cubic NURBS Curve’s Control Vertex (instead of a Point), the curve has a falloff and the interpolation stops at the Curve’s midpoint.

  Is there a way to get this behavior in Cinema 4D? It is MUCH preferred for my rig.

  Thank you!

  I believe you have to use bezier curves in C4D to get control handles.

  Thank you, Adam, for the response. I explored Bezier curves, but as I’m not sure where the spline’s controls will go, the spline’s middle handles will create bumps if the handles aren’t adjusted. I added some points to my spline, which wasn’t ideal, but it works better now with Akima (whose influence stops after one point).

  Thanks again.
