Is there any good way to recreate “Spline Mask” feature of C4D?

Would the Intersection Stitch SOP get you partway there? (I haven't used it before, myself; I've just heard that it was intended to add an extra point in polygon curves where they cross surfaces.) Polygon curve support in Boolean would be nice, though.

Writing code for fun and profit since... 2005? Wow, I'm getting old.

If the polygon objects fully overlap you can use the hole SOP, as well.

are you specifically asking about Polylines? e.g. open polygons?

cause a lot of uses of spline mask involve closed polygons, which Boolean in Houdini supports
