Chain Generator Plugin scaling help

Post by Sappy »

Hello, I want to scale down chain generated chain to my life-size bike, but when I scale animation stops working, I need 65 rings, but after scaling there is errors (10 rings on one path node). I scaled up bike to 10 meters in length and everything okay, but that not great solution.
I hope you guys could help me with this. Thanks.

Hi sappy

unfortunately there is no great solution except scaling up the other content.
This is fault of Cinema 4D internal calculation and approximation of the spline.....on small scale it lose thousandths that are essential for the correct movement of the chain.

Sorry but I cannot help you
