Hi,
first of all thanks to @Cairyn for nice explanations and helping in solving this.
I'd just like to add a link to one of our examples, pretty much demonstrating this workflow: mengersponge.py (plus the scene file).
@Jvos : I hope you don't mind, may I ask you to please open a new topic for unrelated topics/questions.
I have also moved this thread into the Cinema 4D Development category, added some tags and turned the thread into a question.
Cheers,
Andreas
