Hi everyone,
after watching the intro video to the Pipeworks Character Template by Bret Bays I’ve imagined a lot of new creative possibilities (especially in modelling) opened by this new Character Tool and would like to see a tutorial about how to create character templates like Pipeworks.
Thanks in advance,

Michele

you will want to start by going through the template creation videos to learn about all the various rules that can be attached to objects to control how the object is created by the template.

Next, you can open up the pipeworks.c4d file and dissect it.
I will warn that pipeworks makes some pretty intense use of python to control some insertion rules and also to handle bringing in a preset material
