Hey thanks for replying to my request. I'm making the stage curtain in cinema 4d as a 3d animation to be transferd to Adobe After effects as an animated mask to unvail the things behind the curtain. I just started using Cinema 4d and I already have the curtain made. I used a plane and manipulated the points in rows of one vertically and horisontally in the plain to have that curtain/billow effect. It looks really ok but I want to figure out how to get the animated effect of it being drawn back, not just opened, but being pulled by tiebacks from the verticle center of each curtain. I'm guessing some parenting is in order but I am not profficient enough in Cinema 4d to accomplish that,....yet
