Looping Animated Rings in Cinema 4D

Learn how to recreate high-end motion design looks from the NFL+ project using precise ring cloning and custom shape offsets in Cinema 4D.

In this Cinema 4D tutorial, you’ll discover how to build professional HUD-style ring animations and complex layered geometry inspired by the NFL Plus project from Shapes and Forms Studio. You’ll learn how to use hidden assets like the FUI Ring spline, blend mode in MoGraph Cloners to maintain consistent thickness, and apply Formula Effectors for dynamic animation. The second effect dives deeper into using CV-Outline (from Maxon’s CV Toolbox) to create precise, evenly spaced custom spline offsets and convert them into animated 3D geometry with perfect alignment. Ideal for motion designers, 3D artists, and VFX professionals looking to improve their MoGraph workflow, this step-by-step guide includes downloadable project files and detailed breakdowns to help you master these Cinema 4D techniques fast.
