In this tutorial you will learn how to model and rig a tornado in Cinema 4D. You will utilize the helix spline- keeping it parametric so that you have full control over the the spline’s parameters while animating the tornado. X-Particles will be used to give the animation life, using XP Trail, Follow Spline, and Hair. You’ll touch on how to rig the helix spline with some basic Xpresso, which will allow full control over the path and movement of our tornado.
