Tips and Tricks
A collection of tips that I came up with while working on client or personal projects.
Spline Morph

Faking Differential Line Growth using spline dynamics.
An attempt to fake the differential line growth effect in Cinema4D.
How to add dynamics to a static tree from the Content Library.

How to cache the Tracer Object with MorphTag & Jiggle Deformer.
I was always surprised and sometimes frustrated that Cinema doesn't have a native tool for baking the Tracer Object. After a bit of thinking and experimenting I came up with this solution which is not ideal but gets the job done and it is interactive. Also there is no xPresso or scripting involved which makes it easy to use even for a newbie. I hope you find it useful.
