I really doubt you could do something like this in C4D. Maya, i don't know about coz it's so darn expensive. I've seen something like this before, and i think he used a plugin (cant remember the name). I dont think it's possible to do this with generic tools. I saw another one of these, and the guy who made it, scripted his own renderer in C++ and put in code so his computer would create the image. I'd love to know how to do this kind of stuff..

wow...that sounds comlicated, there has to be a way to do it in some 3d program. If it can be done in max or something, i can get a friend to do it for me, but i would really like to know how to achive this effect

It could well be a load of hyperNURB objects overlapping with a complicated texture.

There was a free small version of Maya on their site a while back....I think Pank posted it. Is that still available?

No i don't think so. Go to www.aliaswavefront.com and see.

About the post, i actually found out how to do it...You need C4D XL7.303 for it...and bhodiNUT SLA shaders. You create a deep blue background, then make some nurbs and apply some fusion shading, and noise in the luminance channel.

do the shaders come with C4D or is it a plug in?

The shaders (bhodiNUT SLA), come with Cinema 4DXL7.303, you need that .3 update and the disk of course.

Here's something i whipped up Kubic, thanks for the inspiration!

yeah, no problem, lol, only if i could get around to trying it.

Here's an example of what SineDot can do:
