Reeper X C4D plugin Tutorial - Loofah - Jun 3, 2014
Just realized this is in The Graphics section when It should be in the Tutorial section. I don't think it matters too much, but if someone can move it that would be great.
Reeper X Tutorial
\\\ What you need
- Cinema 4D
- Reeper X plugin (http://www.codeworkers.de/garage-plugins-reeperx.html)
Basic knowledge of Cinema 4D
\\\ Step 1
Make a Mo text in Cinema 4D by going to /Mo graph/Mo text
Customize your text how ever you want it.
Image
\\\ Step 2
Select your text from the menu on the side
Image
\\\ Step 3
Duplicate your Text. Take one of the text and press "C" on your keyboard. You'll end up with a group of things. I want you to open everything in it tell you end up with a coloured C symbol for all the letters.
Image
\\\ Step 4
Take all the Letters out of the group. You can delete the rest of the group because you don't need it.
Image
\\\ Step 5
Open Reeper X From going to Plugins/reeper X
Image
\\\ Step 6
Duplicate the Reeper X for the amount of letters you have, then drag each letter over the Reeper X.
Image
\\\ Step 7
Uncollapsed all the reeper x objects and then highlight all of them.
Image
\\\ Step 8
You will then see that at the bottom right of you screen you will be able to edit your text.

Should end up with something like this : https://puu.sh/9dOSj/1e7ede1401.jpg
All you have to do now is edit those values. Only edit the values under the general tabs. Dont touch Segments or mode.
Values I Suggest :
Radius - 2 - 5
Strand - 1
Coils - Play around with the Value tell you find something that looks good
Distance - Again play around with this Value
With enough tweaking in c4d and some effects from Photoshop I ended up with this :

I tried to make this as basic as possible. Please note that this is my first tutorial so dont expect too much. If you have problems just make a post about it and ill try to help you. So if this is LQ. Might make a video about this but I don't have much time.
