The Binary Kite – even more cubes with Py4D

Friday, June 25th, 2010

There are those popular structures we all know and love because they simply look fascinating from every angle - like the Sierpinski triangle, the Pythagoras tree or the Menger sponge. Generative geometry is one more proof that math is beautiful no matter how basic. Recently I stumbled upon a new pattern that ...

Py4D Examples – particle party

Saturday, April 10th, 2010

I haven´t written about Py4D for quite a while now... In the meantime, Maxon has first announced a cooperation with - and now the acquisition of Sebastian Rath´s praised python implementation for Cinema4D. So finally - Cinema4D meets Python! Let´s celebrate with some cool experiments!

Strange Attractor Finder and C4D/PY4D Particle Bench

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

Strange attractors are fractals that emerge at certain, sensitive parameters within the three-or more dimensional phase space. They are are researched since the early 70s and strongly related to the chaos theory as they allow to watch the transition from chaos to order/geometry. Good things first: see the result and try the ...

PY4D Boids

Friday, August 7th, 2009

Sebastian Rath´s PY4D is a new, alternative way to script with or to code plugins for Cinema4D - without COFFE or C++ - but in Python. The current beta (v0.9.0001) already makes a fine impression and proves itself easy to get started with. This video shows a little script that was adapted ...
