It would help if you could post some links to pics showing the type of thing you want to create.

That’s some kind of particle and gas rendering effect. I think it would require a plugin to do it in Cinema. Maybe possible in AE with FORM?

You may be able to do this with Cinema’s dynamics. I had a rudimentary setup that was actually working pretty well last night when (I think) my motherboard bit the dust. So I think you owe me $300. 😉

Display is a menu — found in the bar right on top of each viewport.

So you want the wound fiber look for the individual strands? Couple ways to go about that.
1. Generate geometry instead of 2D hair using the Hair Object>Generate tab. Circle is probably what you want, though it creates the most geometry.
2. Generate instances of geometry you’ve modeled (same tab).
If you go with No. 1 you can then use a material with bump or displacement to create the ropey look. Example: 9052_carpettex.c4d.zip

Check the “Rigid” box in the hair dynamics tab and increase the “Rest Mix” percentage to make it stiffer. You probably only need 3-4 segments for the guides and hairs since they’re so short.

I think that ability is restricted to the Poly Pen tool now.

In R15 you can use the layer manager. Assign your object to a layer and then lock the layer.
-
Picture doesn’t show up. I assume you mean the object axis? Go to the viewport’s Display>Configure All>Filters tab and make sure Axis is checked.

Use the offset parameter in the mograph cache tag.
