Helix made with formula spline formula tubes.c4d There's a glitch when it passes 100%, but that's hidden underneath 😀 rail added - fixes glitch at 100% formula tubes 3.c4d

We've all got the eye to spot it: Powerful lust-worthy technology Charismatic individual change-agents Elite Creators of the visual dance Top-of-the line instructors that take you to another level A few times a decade you might see the appearance of a convergent rock star: the rare creature who can capture all four of these realms. Adept in maximizing existing technology, dripping with individual charisma, able to dazzle with their craft on the canvas of creative expression.........and then gifted at telling the world in compelling tones how to follow along. I'll explain more soon...and we can discuss how the rise of a new rock star convergent may already have begun a disruptive rampage through the entire world of 3d. Oh, perhaps you'll want to know the identity of this "Kwisatz Haderach"?

Yes. But not in the conventional sence using an area light with object/spline type. Just apply a material with high Luminace value to a polygon selection and make sure you have GI enabled.

No. We need that Xpresso, and a lot of it has been carefully formulated to achieve the sort of results that would be fabulously difficult to get with keyframes alone. I really think you should keep that. I am away on client work for a lot of today, but will look at it again, and the possible solutions tomorrow. However I have established that this is actually a 105 frame loop, and I am conducting all my experiments from frame 0 to 105, and currently seeing if I can get you what you want by keyframing the range mappers in the Xpresso (not quite on a frame by frame basis yet, but it may come to that !), with 'some success'. When I resume tomorrow I will be able to give it some more time, and find out if this will work here or not. CBR

Wow! @bezo @jed @HappyPolygon @hyde @MJV @Igor THANK you!! So many great solutions! Really appreciate you all sharing your experience and suggestions!

CERBERA, I cannot tell you how much joy you bring to my life. Your craftsmanship is epic, only exceeded by the generosity I see you display in the help you offer others. These gorgeous chess pieces made me smile, ear to ear! This, while I'm still working on my knight! I suppose I have an excuse: I'm simultaneously learning a vast array of Blender tools with which I'd had no previous familiarity. And I'm far more a motion artist than a modeler. I'll try to raise my game with your inspiration.

Nice one, learn something new everyday. Brilliant setup @bezo.
