Chop up all your meshes with Rocket Lasso’s RKT Slicer! Quickly create a series of parallel cuts into your models that can be returned as splines, flat sheets, extruded layers, or even complex alternating layers. Open up new parametric modeling techniques, create unique FUI elements, and combine Slicer with Cloners & Mograph tools to open up endless possibilities to keep pushing the limits of what you can do in Cinema 4D!
For years there have been questions on Rocket Lasso Live that simply couldn’t be properly answered without the ability to consistently cut geometry and we’re excited to help unlock this ability. Slicer’s long list of features is designed to be intuitive, but not limiting. Lines looking a little rough? Get clean organic curves by applying the Smooth parameter. Inflate or deflate the slices from your mesh via Expand. Offset and loop the cuts automatically via a built-in animated Rate. Drive exactly where the slices are located via a C4D Matrix object for specific placement and advanced animation. Output splines as a single object or as a series of layers, unlocking the ability to colorize each segment using a randomized greyscale, full-spectrum, or even take on the color of a Matrix Object.
RKT Slicer has it’s obvious use cases, which it handles beautifully. But it also opens the door for so many procedural abstract effects that weren’t possible before this plugin.

Slicer is going to be one of the must have tools for 3D artists who use C4D to create FUIs.
Use Slicer to generate splines, flat sheets, extruded geometry, or even alternating layers all with bevels.
Pair Slicer with a Cloner and C4D’s Mograph tools to create an even more advanced series of cuts.
Combine with a simple displaced Plane to create endless animated possibilities.
Use Cinema 4D’s Softbody Colorize spline segments with built-in random color, greyscale, Matrix Object, or even driven by the display color of your model.
Lines looking a little rough? Get clean organic curves by applying the Smooth parameter.
Drive exactly where the slices are located via a C4D Matrix object for specific placement and advanced animation.
Slicer is great for creating advanced text effects by cutting a mesh, then cutting the resulting mesh again!
