Rocket Lasso Mesh To Spline

Convert your meshes to splines

Don’t mesh around. Mesh To Spline!

Mesh To Spline tool from Rocket Lasso lets you unlock edges, polygons, and outlines from your meshes as parametric splines. Create the splines exactly where you want them through Fields, Selection Tags, angle thresholds, and facing angles from any mesh. Extract splines from even animated meshes where more power is unleashed with splines that stick directly to the surface of your characters. Favorite 3rd party renderer doesn’t have anything like Sketch & Toon? Create complex stylized looks by outlining models, finding hard edges, showing only the front or backside, or simply drawing every single polygon. Speed up your final renders by utilizing the speed of C4D’s native Hair Render or Sketch & Toon on splines. Or use the blazing speed of rendering a spline through your favorite 3rd party renderer.

Compatibility: Cinema 4D R20 – 2025

Lighting defines the quality of any 3D scene. Without deliberate placement, even the most detailed models appear flat and lifeless. To help you bridge the gap between amateur renders and professional results, we are excited to release a new, comprehensive training guide created by Roland, a Senior VFX Artist. With over 15 years of experience on major films like Star Wars and Avengers, Roland has packed this guide with elite industry knowledge. It covers everything from CG and product setups to portrait and cinematic lighting, providing best practices that every digital artist can use immediately.

This guide moves beyond simple software tutorials to teach the foundational, physically-based principles of light. You will learn the anatomy of light, technical scene control through color temperature and exposure, and how different materials respond to specific highlights. Whether you work in Blender, Cinema 4D, or Unreal Engine, these workflows apply across the board. The contents include practical checklists for interior and exterior setups to ensure your scenes look polished before you ever hit render. Roland’s core philosophy is simple: every light must have a job. Download the guide today and start building more impactful environments.
