I've played quite a bit with the settings but I am not getting the desired result. I want to make the "shell" of the icosahedron with spheres on its points and use the tracers to connect them but only to create a "shell", so that it looks like an atom ray. Now, as you may suspect, the tracer connects the spheres seemingly randomly, and I can't find a way for it to just look like the atom ray version of the icosahedron. Do you know of another way I can do this, maybe manually select where the tracer connects? I want to animate it, and I know I can using the atom ray but I'm trying to use new methods as I've just started c4d (4 weeks ago, but I am rather strong in Maya). Plus, this way seems inefficient. Please please please help. Hey Nick,

Hope your reading this and answering!!! God I hope! I can see the tracer object in viewport, but when I render, I only see my spheres, without the tracers??? Hello Nick!

I'm using tracer object in my project + GI and AO. The major problem is...render time. Why the hell it takes so much time? Few objects on a scene - even with low GI settings (very low) it can take forever. One frame in a "hot" moment took me over 4 hours to render. And yes it is an animation. Any suggestions? Adam Hey Nick.

Is it possible to change the clonned objects anchor point? Actually I want to change the way the trace meets the object. Thanks Hi Nick, first thanks for the tut, very nice as always.
