Loft Object

What is it about?

This page describes the Loft object in Cinema 4D, a spline generator. It stretches a surface over a sequence of cross-section splines — ideal for hulls, fuselages, funnels and any shape defined by profiles along its length.

The loft object draws a hull over several splines. The arrangement of the splines in the loft object determines the order in which they are connected.

NoteYou can place a single spline in the loft object, in which case it will be closed (and covered with a spanning surface) without you having to make any further settings.

Example

In this example, 2 different sized circle splines are cloned and covered with a mesh using a loft object.
