About Line Connection

Line Connection is a Cinema 4D plugin that generates connection lines between objects in the order they are selected, or as separate links. Each line includes a control handle and automatically creates a ripple object at every point. Users can adjust line thickness, density, dash style, and segment count for ripples, as well as apply Bezier curvature. Control objects can follow the start and end objects during motion, and line and ripple colors are set independently in diffuse or luminous mode. Connection timing is defined with just two keys for start and end, and a Dissolve option adds optional fading to ripples. The tool also supports random connection generation with a limit on the number of lines. Compatibility spans Cinema 4D R19 through 2024.
