Extrude along a spline

Beginners

Hello,
I would like to extrude a shape along a spline like in this picture (made with c4d).

I think the extrude Sop is a good way to do it but i only managed to do a flat ribbon.
Any idea?

Thanks,
baptiste

Hi Baptiste,

you can use a Sweep Sop in combination with a Skin SOP to do that.
Use a Circle SOP as the first input to the Sweep and the Curve as the second input. On the output Page of the Sweep select Skin Output “On” and you should be set.

As an alternative, if you have the curve as CHOP data, you can use the Limit SOP and choose Tubes as Output Type.
