How to create and animate a Slinky (or spring) in Cinema 4D using deformers and effectors in C4D.
This tutorial was requested by Scott (one of our awesome Members) who needed to animate a slinky for a client project he was working on with Cinema 4D.
Feel free to use it in your own projects royalty free!

Great animation – can you tell me how to get graduated colours on the slinky?
Good question Mark – because we made the slinky with a SWEEP it should have good UV’s, so all we need to do is color it with a RAMP – you can see exactly how I set it up by downloading the project file.
