Hi there,
It is the SweepNURBS and the intermediate points of the splines. Just the very basic “stuff” in C4D: Like extending (Ctrl or Shift Ctrl) the path Spline while it is in the SweepNURBS. (A spline could also be used alone with a specific Hair material attached to it).
We do not compare applications here. Nor can C4D have all tools that all the other competitors have together.
Ideas and features request need to be addressed directly to MAXON to the designated Suggestion site, Cineversity is not the direct way to do so.
Best
