Lots of points, lots of splines… and xpresso

I think you are going to need to script that. You could create several (80) levels and use a cloner but it sounds like you need something closer to what say IVY GROWER plug in does….

maybe UberTracer (https://www.genemagtoto.com/c4dplugins/) will do what you want. There are some demo scenes on this thread – https://www.c4dcafe.com/ipb/topic/55657-ubertracer-plugin-free-r11-r115-r12/

– Limit Distance is on by default and Max Line Length will make it look like it’s not working if things are too far apart

Randy- I was afraid of that. I was sitting at home last night thinking about it, I started to realize that the solution was probably in Python. Either that or processing… something I have no idea how to do.

Thanks!

Brian-

Thanks for this! I’ve never heard of this, but it’s great. I made something similar to this yesterday with Xpresso, but the time it took to replicate everything was not awesome. Since this is a short turn around, this is probably the solution I’ll use.

Thanks for your help!

Correction…. I just opened started playing with it and realized this just shaved probably a whole day of work off. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. You just saved my bacon!

Thanks a million!
