Below you will find C4D plugins for generation of spline primitives or spline
based objects.
Some are more like C4D spline primitives (eg. ArrowMaker, ArchSpline), some
are more like C4D generators (Kurulumun, Umami).
Some need an input object (e.g. Vector Pro needs a picture., Spline Wrapper
and object around which it can wrap around)
Better vectorizer transforms bitmaps pictures or any shader into splines or flat, extruded surface ($) |
Generate parametric spline in form of an arrow which can be customized (free) |
Spline-primitive producing different types of arcs with parameters allowing to adjusted arch shapes (free) |
Various math related plugins allowing to generate function defined surfaces, splines, cylinders intersections etc... (free) |
procedural spline generator creating a spline in form of... Lorentz Attractor - obviously ($) |
![]() Kurulumun Generates curly parametric splines that twist randomly by 90°. It is also a generator - can create surface on its own. (free) |
![]() Umami Generates parametric random splines (looking lie noodle like). It is also a generator - can create surface on its own. (free) |
![]() Primitive Sketch draw and size spline primitives directly on objects surface. It can do the same for object primitives and offers scattering (video) (free) |
![]() TIP : PrimitiveSketch also allows to create and size spline primitives on objects and does it better than DragSplines. |
NoLoopSpline : spline for transmission drives, track, that don't create inverted loops (use Reverse on circle spline to invert a +loop) (download) (free) |
Spline
Wrapper : wraps spiral splines around objects ($)
|
ct-maze-trace
♥: generates splines that wander
along mesh edges creating a pattern similar to labyrinth corridors (free)
|
splineCAGE
generate splines from edges, can offset spline in normal direction and use Edge Selection Tags (R17 OK, R18 crash) (free) |
EdgeSweep
: Generator which creates SweepNurbs out of Edge-Selection Tags. I put
it here, among splines, because what it does is almost exactely the
same as splineCAGE (R18 OK) (free)

![]() PolyEdge Spline : Generates a live spline from continuous edge selection on a mesh (no separate edges, no forking) - the mesh is hidden (free) |
![]() Topowire : generator creating multiple pending lines between objects. (hair, spline, sweep) ($) |
Grow-Spline: Splines grow and shrink in any direction. | Connect-Spline: Connect splines, independent from their spacing, number of points or direction, branching. | Spline2Helix: Create a Helix around any Spline | Motion2Spline: Tracing Splines from any animated object (incl. SubObjects or TP Particle Geometries, Dynamics) | Poly-Spline: Create Wire-Splines as Single Splines or Multi-Splines and Polygon-Objects |
Morph-Spline: Morph between two and more Splines or MultiSplines | Branch-Spline: Easy creating Branches from user splines | Spline-Connect: Connect a hierarchy of Splines to one Spline | Clone-This: Copy and spread Objects, Splines, Clones, Instances, RenderInstances along a spline and variates them userdefined. | Straight-Spline: bend this spline with exact In- and Out-Radius / In - and Out-Angle |
Mix-Spline: Mix splines and creates new user defined splines. | Fractal-Splines: Generator for the most popular Fractal Splines - Hilbert, Gosper, Peano, Dragon, Koch, Levy-C ..... | Elastic-Spline: Create Connection-Splines between (animated or not animated) Objects. | Multi-Tween: Tween and Morph Objects, Lights and Light-Fx | Glue-Object: Glue Objects to any Selections |
CV-Splines
(To Objects) : A set of commands and generators for splines : Single click
commands for spline Extrude, Lathe, Loft, & Sweep. 2 Genertors for interactive
outline/offsets spline and chamfer, Helpful for non-destrucive spline modeling.
2 Generators for creation of hanging wires and connections between cloned
objects.

($)
![]() CV-Catenary generator ♥ makes splines hanging down. Great for hanging wires, ropes, and cables. |
![]() CV-CrossStitch generates splines between objects in a hierarchy (siblings, children, cousins), or between MoGraph Clones and manually specified connection points |
![]() CV-Chamfer generator creates a chamfered version of the spline |
![]() Outline generator creates an outline or offset of the original spline |
![]() CV-Render Splines makes the selected splines renderable as hair (automatically ads hair tags to multiple objects, render effect, special tags. Works with deformed splines) |
![]() CV-Sweep Splines command adds a C4D Sweep generator for selected splins. It adds a n-side spline for section (for easy control of segments). Use the Scale to adjust the pipe radius by eye. |
![]() CV-Extrude Splines command adds in one click a C4D Extrude generator to multiple splines. Generators are conformed to splines axis. |
![]() CV-Lathe Splines Creates C4D Lathe generators for selected splines, and position them for each spline (using various criteria eg. spline bounding box, lathe axis X, Y, Z) |
![]() CV-Convert to Loft : select splines in space, and puts them into C4D Loft generator. |

TIP : You can quickly simplify a spline using Loft object |

It includes a Double Rectangle Spline primitive (free) |
![]() Coons Mesh : generator that creates coons patches from 4 splines (free) |
![]() SplinePatch : patch modeling to create smooth, curved surfaces from intersecting splines which is especially suited for cars, clothing... (review) ($) |
![]() SPLURF : provides patch modeling in C4D with spline surfaces ($) |

Discussion about efficiency of Patch modeling tools for C4D
With first two I couldn't get any useful refults - those are py scripts,
so maybe they can help you if you are learnig py programming in C4D :
reduce_splines
: intelligently reduces the number of points in a closed or open spline (free)
expand_splines
: takes an open spline (a line) and turns it into a closed spline (polygon)
of desired thickness along the original line (free)
output_spline_points
: outputs spline points and name (can help to export to code lines) (free)
