This tip demonstrates a technique for taping wires/cables together. It uses the Collision deformer as an aid, making sure the tape is snugly applied to the wires.
The use of the Collision deformer in this tip was inspired by Mike Udin’s tutorial on the Collision deformer. I found his tutorial useful even though it seems to be entirely in Russian. I discovered his tutorial in the C4D Weekly newsletter; issue #17. I suggest you check out the C4D Weekly archive, and subscribe to their great weekly email.
Please leave me any feedback that you have, and if you liked this video, you should share my Five (or in this case, Ten) Minute Tips section with your friends. I’m sure they’ll appreciate it.

you should break down your videos to the actual content: the first five
minutes have nothing to do with the collision deformer; it is just playing
around with colours and other objects. the entire video could be shortened
to three minutes in order to explain the collision deformer’s functions.

Just subscribed m8, awsome tutorial. Just a quick quick question, what did you press to get the shortcut to lines mode view? you moved the mouse to the viewport and then clicked something quick. Thank you

Could it have been n~d to switch to shaded lines mode? Just press n then d in rapid succession.

Great Tutorial, Thank you.
Is there a way to simulate the way tape would be wound around the wires, staggared?
Jamie Hamel-Smith
August 29, 2013 — 11:24 pm
I’m not quite sure what you mean by staggered. It’s a fairly limited technique, so if you wanted to repeat the effect, it would likely have to be done by hand.

Someone posted your channel url on the c4dlive chat. Amazing tutorial. Thanks!! I was looking for a tutorial a few weeks back for a project of mine – (wwwdotmartinvivekdotcom/Bits-n-Bytes). But I’m sure it will come in handy in the future. 😀

Oh wow, thanks for the heads-up about being posted in the c4dlive chat. Also, your project looks pretty awesome. I love the out-of-focus bits.

If I put the tape cylinders inside a cloth NURBS to get a little bit of thickness, would it still work accurately with the spline wrap deformer? Thanks again for the tip!
Jamie Hamel-Smith
March 16, 2013 — 2:34 am
I don’t see why that won’t work. Even if it doesn’t work on the live object, you could apply the ClothNURBS afterwards.

Another great one! You are fantastic. BTW, you are not the only one who search a command in the menu because of always using a short cut you forgot about its location in the UI! 🙂

Thanks so much. The collision deformer, I’m realizing is a really powerful thing. There are other settings in it that I still need to explore. Thanks for watching!
