in the cloner that’s what the Clones setting is for in the object tab of the cloner. It defaults to Iterate but you want Blend (check the help for better info) – it needs editable splines and it seems to work best with similar numbers of points in the splines and if Intermediate Points is set to none (with a lot of points for smoothness)

yes, it’s going to try and deform it… I figured out one of the blindingly obvious things I missed – this works better I think

one clone at the end then the rest fill in from the middle? I may be missing something else blindingly obvious but this works

assuming your camera is still you really want Object Tracking not motion tracking. Some trackers will get lost, especially depending on contrast. There are some excellent tutorials out there, some are

well that’s different than just baking mosplines, it is possible to bake the correction deformer directly –
if it’s a Loft with animated Mosplines driving it, it would be
– Correction Deformer in a null with the loft
– Bake the Correction object (drag it in to the timeline if necessary, Timeline/Functions/Bake Objects… with PLA checked)
– make the Loft editable
– apply the baked correction deformer as a child to the editable object
– that object (might have to drag in into the timeline manager) can then be baked – again with PLA – which will be created with a correction deformer as a child but it can be deleted or disabled.13041_bakecorrectiondeformer.c4d.zip

keyframes for PLA should show up in Dopesheet mode but you might have to drag the object into the Timeline manager

Bake to Alembic works in R20 and exporting to Alembic would work pre-R20. If you can’t go to Alembic (because your target program won’t read it) you can bake to alembic then use the Bake Objects command in the timeline on the imported alembic in C4D, then export that in a format you can use.

can’t tell without the scene file – here the hair is reflected with a Compositing tag with Seen By Reflection turned off but once Generate is set to Flat, Triangle, Square or Circle (and I assume Instance if you provide one) the reflection disappears.

the UVWs created with the sphere (when you make it editable) are broken (or rather, changed) when you change the geometry so this is the usual result. You can redo the UVWs with BodyPaint or more simply if it works for you, just change the mapping used by the Texture tag from UVW to an alternate – Spherical probably in this case.

it still should be possible to just copy/paste the polys from one object into the other, and does Lite have the Boole object? You could do a Boole Union if it’s there and then make that editable
