  • How can I connect spheres with lines to make a Hoberman Sphere in C4D?

    Posted by Nick Army on January 24, 2011 at 4:04 pm

    I am trying to make a stylized and simplified 3D “Hoberman Sphere” (https://www.hoberman.com/fold/Sphere/sphere.htm) in Cinema 4D for a title project. I would simply like to connect spheres with slim lines and be able to expand/contract it similar to the toy. I am willing to accept a mostly functional solution and work with it as I currently have literally no idea where to start. I would love to hear some ideas on how to get this going. Thanks so much in advance!

    You can use the mograph tracer object to connect stuff together with lines. It’ll take a bit of setting up – multiple tracers tracing each segment – but it can be done with the tracers no problem 🙂

    Well, looks like it’s as easy as making an Atom Array, which I’d never heard of!
