Cinema 4D Xpresso Tutorial 48: Energy Cable Chain.

In this Cinema 4D tutorial, we build an Energy Cable Chain from scratch. In order to make the device behave as it needs to, we use a combination of no less than four Xpresso expressions, Align-to-Spline and Target tags. It’s another long video, so buckle up and enjoy the journey!

My thanks go to the following people, all of whom have been kind enough to buy me a coffee:

Matt, Cedric, Uriah, Willy, Vadim, Tim, Simone, Alain, David and Daniil.

Your generosity is always, greatly appreciated!
