Patch modeling in C4D?
Is this possible to do without buying a third party plug-in?
I am a little more comfortable using patches for modeling than the box-modeling method.
For discussion sake, let’s say we are going to build a simple shoe, no laces. It consist of 3 parts.
rubber bottom
front canvas
back canvasThe 3 pieces are created by lofting and extruding splines.
How do you connect the “patches” together?
Thanks,

There are a couple of plugins, but it’s not possible natively without converting the lofts to polygons. Of course you *can* convert them to polygons and then connect them to your heart’s content.

Thanks for setting the direction Adam.
You are always so helpful. I really appreciate your time.BTW
while I was laying down spines for guidelines, it occurred to me
that it would be very nice to be able to change the color of the splines. Is that possible?EDIT
Cheers,

I spoke too quickly. This is easily down by dropping a material on the spline, just like everything else. Do not know
why I didn’t think of that right off hand. -
My pleasure. 😉
You can change a spline’s color in it’s Basic tab.
