How to create a Dynamic Twisting Rope in Cinema 4D using cloth dynamics.
Watch the brief tutorial where we discuss the setup and download and use the project files royalty-free in your own work.
Fully animated and includes all models, textures, materials, lighting, and Redshift Renderer settings using and ACES workflow for better color. See our ACES guide here.
This tutorial was requested by Ivan (one of our awesome Members) who was curious about how to create something like this artwork by Owen Jenkins Design.
If you make something cool with this technique, we’d love to hear about it in the comments section down below!

👏👏 I can see this technique being used for organic structures in medical illustrations and animations.
Absolutely, you could maybe make some twisting DNA strands – I think we should do some medical-related stuff actually, its a good motion graphics niche to get into, and can be high-paying work too in my experience.
That would be awesome! That is how I make my living as a medical animator and illustrator. I am always looking for new techniques that can help me quickly create great looks in the hidden inner world of the human body: it is a creatively rewarding but a tight deadline-driven industry.
Nice, I’d love to see some of your work
