Points to circle 1.0.0

Thank you Nigel !  This is what I was looking for! 

In Softimage I was using  MX_Roundish

Thank you for sharing !

Thanks! It works on R17 on Windows 10. 

However, is there any way, I can make it a semi circle rather than a circle?

No.

But you can do it with few clicks more solution... :-)

Explanation in attached video. (it´s simple since script "deform" only exact loop of points, so only 2 points need to be welded)

Hi mate! Thanks for the reply. I thought of that workflow before but it is kind of cumbersome if you have several "layers" of points to perform that. It As a background I made this post a while ago.
 

 
I perform this command usually for character modelling where in I round the limbs or arms. Sometimes I also need to round the torso so I get a better starting point, that is why I need it on semi circle. 

I also thought of having True Symmetry and performing command, but somehow the whole process is cumbersome. So sometimes I just make a cylinder and snap all those points to make a semi circle.

But thanks for answering my question! :) 

Thanks so much for this script, I will try it out soon! cheers!

gracias compañero!!

Thanks so much for this script

This seems to work well, except the circle ends up three times the size of my model. Is it something I'm doing wrong? The model isn't tiny.

Script  use own setings for result radius and of course in case you have very small object, you get oversized circle. You can edit internal seting for radius inside script or simply scale in XY plane to value as needed...

very useful

Wow, was doing this with a bevel, this is soo much cleaner and rounder, many thanks man!

Great release. Thank you kindly.

awesome thanks for sharing...

any guide on how to edit this script to change the default size or the circle ? 

Install Points to Circle into your C4D Scripts folder, restart C4D, then go to Script>Script Manager, choose the C.O.F.F.E.E. tab and make sure Points to Circle is chosen as the script. Then alter var radius = 50; on Line 8 to the radius you want:

Also the script seem to rotate the points by default. Is it possible to edit the script to  diminished that?

Not sure why you have that issue, but the easiest way to resolve that is to simply use the Rotate Tool to fix the problem.

You can also change the circle radius size without the change to the script using the Scale Tool.

How can I add this to right click menu ?

You need edit menu.

1, Open Windows/Customization/Customize Menus...

2, Open Windows/Customization/Customize Palettes...

  --- now you have opened 2 windows ---

3, In customize menus window switch from default "M_Editor" to "M_Modeling_Point"

  --- Now you can see right click menu in point mode (where it is expected, but can be inserted in any menu as you want) ---

4, Into filter in customize commands window write "Points to circle"

  --- All commands with this words will be filtered, it´s quick way to find any command you want ---

5, Drag "point to circle" command from customize commands window to customize menus window on place where you want

6, Press "Save all changes" and close all windows.

 Now is command added into right click menu in point mode...

thx!

great job!

thx

No more COFFEE script support in R20.. Would love to have this in python soon! Or maybe a small plugin with some kind of support for points on a curve to retain curvature.

maybe AnoanoW PolyCircle?

PolyCircle isn't available for R20 either :(

I know it's still pretty early yet, so hopefully these will come soon!
