Thicken

Discover how to use the Thicken generator in Cinema 4D to add uniform depth to flat geometry, turning simple splines or planes into solid 3D objects with volume.

Thicken in Cinema 4D is a non-destructive generator that applies consistent thickness to thin or flat geometry, such as splines or polygon planes. By making your base object a child of the Thicken generator, you can easily control the amount and direction of thickness, dynamically updating the solid volume as you edit. This tool is ideal for converting 2D shapes into 3D solids, preparing models for 3D printing, or adding realism to architectural elements and stylized designs.
