UPDATE: Cinema 4D 11 and above The “object” folder described in the tutorial is not available in Cinema 4D Version 11 and 11.5. If you have the new version, watch this video.
The first video in the CSTools series where I will go though how to use all of Chris Smith’s endlessly useful, CSTools. Today we talk about the 3D Stroke. A Cinema 4D Tool he developed to emulate the Trapcode After Effects Plugin, 3D Stroke.

Dope man! Your rocking some pretty sweet tutorials lately.
That’s cool! thanks
excellent video greetings from argetina, Sory for my bad English, I speak only Spanish
PS: please post a tutorial on modeling with blueprints
This is so fracking inspiring – thanks so much for this very cool video tutorial!
seriously!
beautifully badass. Once again Nick, thank you.
Nice stuff. Would love to see some Thinking particles here on GSG.
Cheers
Cool tools !
Kickasss :p
i dont have a object folder…and when I create one the tools still don’t show up…what do I do?
Ben, I just found out that in Version11, you can’t add items to the object folder as like in version 10. Instead, you should use the content browser to point to them. I will go though the Content Browser soon.
Man I found these the other night and I look and you have a tutorial up.
Get out of my head hahaha!!!!
Thanks for this, this one is cool so are some of his camera presets. Docucam is awesome.
Can you do one on the line growth. I followed the instructions on his RTF but couldnt get it to work.
Thanks again
Thanks Jeremy,
I plan on doing all of the tools. More to come next week.

Awesome. This effect is amazing. Are you using a standard layout in C4D or did you customize it?
The Layout is from Tim at Hypa.tv. Here is the link.

Keep it coming!
Thank you muchly… love your teaching style. I look forward to learning more about Chris’s excellent tools
I have a problem while animating the offset parameter of the 3D stroke CSTool
Always the same thing: i’m animating only the offset and while the animation goes stroke spurts back in thikness twice or more times. My english is not gud thus better i post the file

Nick
thanks for the tuts – bunch of helpful tips.
Can you please post a tutorial on animating clones that are offset in time – clones of one object animating in the same manner but delayed in time. I kind of managed to do this with metaballs, cloner object and step effector (http://www.urbanex.riven.pl/AE/cinema4d/cloner_metaballs_anim_h264.mov) but was unable to recreate the effect with the 3D stroke and cloner object (http://www.urbanex.riven.pl/AE/cinema4d/3dStroke_anim_2_h264.mov).
- another Q – does random effector only work with Mograph tools? – what if i wanted to animate some other objects with mograph effectors?
thanks again

Great tutorial Nick. I am loving cinema 4D more and more. I did notice in your CS tools folder you had a tutorial for “vibrate null”. For some reason it was not in my download. Do you know where else I could view this.
Hey What’s up,
I’m sorry but I don’t understand what I have to do to use CS-Tools. I have the version 11, and I don’t have the folder “Object” in my library file folder. I’m french, sorry for my bad english….. :s
Thanks to help !
Psychedelic.
