How to create a pyramid with irregular triangular panels in Cinema 4D?

How to create a pyramid with irregular triangular panels in Cinema 4D?

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to recreate this kind of faceted glass pyramid in Cinema 4D.

The main challenge is the geometry: the surface is divided into irregular triangular panels only (no quads or n-gons).

I first tried using Voronoi Fracture, but it generates a mix of triangles, quads, and polygons with more sides.

What would be the best workflow to create a pyramid with this kind of random triangular tessellation?

  • Remesh with triangles?
  • Delaunay triangulation?
  • Manual modeling?
  • Another technique?

I’m using Cinema 4D with Redshift, but my question is mainly about modeling the geometry.

Any tips or tutorials would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
