C4D Abstract Twisted Cloth Effect

How to create and animate a looping slinky spring in Cinema 4D using deformers and effectors.

This tutorial shows you how to animate a slinky or spring by animating a Helix spline wrapped with a Spline Wrap deformer and moved using a Delay Effector. The animation is baked to Alembic and cloned with offsets using a Step Effector for a smooth, continuous looping effect. The project files are royalty-free and perfect for client projects or personal use.
