    Anyone know a trick or plugin for creating a surface from a group of points (as many as 10,000.)

    I’m happy to go into another app if that helps.

    Thanks,

    Will

    I don’t know of any plugin for Cinema, but I have a Rhino plugin that will do this (Terrain). If it’s a one-off thing I might be able to make the surface for you–depending on what format it’s in.

    That’s very kind Adam. At the moment, I’ve just got loads of points created from a spreadsheet of x and z coordinates. I’ll add the y coords later. I imported the coords via the ascii import in the structure menu. So I can output the point cloud from C4D as any format of model or I can just pass on the spreadsheet.

    Since this is a paid job, I’d be happy to pay you a fee for this.

    If you’d still like to help, you can reach me here:

    Many thanks,

    Will
