- [Instructor] Welcome to another Motion Graphics Weekly…where you up your mo graph knowledge one week at a time.…I'm EJ Hassenfratz.…Let's get our learn on.…Cinema 4D's sweep objects allow you to sweep…a profile spline object along another spline.…But did you know that you can utilize a rail spline…to help manipulate the rotation and scale…of a sweep object's geometry?…In this video, we're gonna cover how to utilize…the lesser known rail spline option…included in sweep objects.…
So here's my current scene…and you'll see that I have my sweep object.…And right now, it's looking kind of bland…because I don't have any variation and thickness…nor do I have any kind of rotation…occurring along this spline.…As you can see in my Details tab, I didn't edit…any of these scale or rotation spline graphs here.…So typically, to add more interest to swept logos like this,…you'd want to go into these graph editors…and adjust some of the scale.…
And I'm Command-clicking to create little bezier handles…and bezier points on my scale…
