Renderable Spline tag allows V-Ray to render splines. Splines can also be assigned with texture maps. 

A temporary limitation is that only the U size is renderable. 

Splines with a Renerable Spline tag are visible in the following render channels: Light, Raw Light,  Total Total Light, Raw Total Light, Normal Map and Bump Normal Map. 

Splines with a Renderable Spline tag are rendered as thin-walled objects.

Render – Enables render of the spline.

Width Multiplier – Specifies the width of the spline in centimeters.

Width Mode – Specifies how the width of the spline is defined:

Linear – Introduces a linear (constant) value along the whole spline.
Spline – Introduces width based on a curve, allowing different widths between different points of the spline.

You can create a new curve point using Ctrl + Left-click or by using a curve preset.

Start Width/ End Width – Splines in Cinema 4D do not have thickness, and these parameters must be used to specify the start/end width of the spline.

Lock End Width – When enabled, Start Width controls constant thickness along the spline.
