Fast Spline Connector earns its place in the toolfarm library by focusing on one job: connecting single-spline segments with an auto-set distance tolerance and a choice of Join or Weld mode. The automatic tolerance and mid-point welding keep spline connection work quick.
Mike Udin Fast Spline Connector is a plugin for Cinema 4D that connects segments of a single spline. Starting from un-joined splines, you select two points and connect them quickly without manual measuring.
The workflow centers on a distance tolerance. Select two points and press the Get button to set the correct tolerance automatically, then refine it with minimum and maximum values to find points more accurately. If the current tolerance is not enough, increase the value a little. Join mode creates a new segment between the connected points, while Weld mode merges two spline points into a single point that lies at the mid-point of the welded points.
An automatic extrude option is included, and you can customize interpolation, chamfer, and segment length options for the connected points. It supports Cinema 4D versions from R17 through 2023.
Mike Udin Fast Spline Connector is best for cinema 4D artists who need to connect segments of un-joined splines, either by joining points with a new segment or welding them into one.
Mike Udin Fast Spline Connector is completely free to download and use.
Mike Udin Fast Spline Connector is listed as compatible with a broad range of Cinema 4D releases: R17, R18, R19, R20, R21, S22, R23, S24, R25, S26, and 2023. That range covers both older and more recent installs, so it fits users who work across several versions. For current compatibility details, check Mike Udin's page before installing to confirm the plugin works with your specific build.
Mike Udin Fast Spline Connector offers two ways to connect points. Join mode creates a new segment between the connected points, keeping them as two points linked by a segment. Weld mode instead welds two spline points into a single point, and that newly welded point lies at the mid-point of the two original points. Choose Join when you want a connecting segment and Weld when you want the points combined into one.
Mike Udin Fast Spline Connector uses a distance tolerance to decide which points to connect. Select two points and press the Get button to set the correct tolerance automatically. You can adjust the parameter with minimum and maximum values to find points more accurately, and if the current tolerance is not enough, increase the value a little. This gives you control over how the tool matches points before connecting them.
Mike Udin Fast Spline Connector is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so check Mike Udin's page for the current details before downloading. The changelog also notes an updated license module in a past release, so confirming the latest licensing directly with the developer is the safest way to know exactly what applies to your specific version.
