Maxwell Render™ v.1.6.F6 For CINEMA4D

+ Next Limit Technologies has Released Maxwell Render™ v.1.6.F6 plugin for C4D. Its a plug-in interface between it´s advanced light simulator Maxwell Render™ and Cinema 4D, allowing users to render their models and scenes with Maxwell Render. With the Maxwell Render plug-in for C4D, users simply model their scene in Cinema 4D, apply materials and other settings inside Cinema 4D using the plug-in, and render the scene.
The Version 1.6.F6 Update offers :
- Non-active cameras bug fixed. The cameras were exported with X and Z coordinates swapped.
- Slow viewport after importing Maxwell materials fixed.
- The Cinema4D Texture Paths in Preferences are used to look for missing textures in materials and are also passed to MXCL. Furthermore, when writing the MXS file for rendering, a check is made to ensure all textures referenced in the materials are found. If any texture is missing, a dialog pops up to choose a replacement texture. If the user picks a texture, its path is used to look for other textures.
- Fixed bug with animation driven by expressions and /or tags (e.g. Align To Spline tag)
- Fixed bug in animation: no longer materials are lost after the first frame when saving animations.

- SP3 adds support for 64-Bit Operating Systems as well as support for new processor technology and an increased amount of rendering power.

- fRArchitectural*: this new complex material (shader-node) is notonly good for creating realistic materials that appear in the real-world environment, but it can also be easily used to create advanced translucency effects and blurry reflections or refractions.

- Normal Map Texture Channel*: this has also been added as an ease of use option. Users can now just add this texture channel into any of their available CINEMA 4D material slots.

- Light Material Shader Node*: finalRender is famous for successful handling of Illumination and creation of photo-realistic lighting situations. A new shader has been added to the Service Pack 3 build that allows for even further enhancement of the illumination abilities of finalRender.

- Automatic finalRender Wrapper Node*: Service Pack 3 offers a new technology to catch unknown and unsupported materials or textures in CINEMA 4D. This new technology renders these materials and textures by calling on CINEMA 4D's shading engine.

Please be aware that all fixes are included within this latest version of the software and you do NOT need to install all of the patches in order to become current. Simply installing the SP3 build will give you all of the updates, fixes and enhancements.

Download C4D Preset Materials

- Download free CINEMA4D preset Texture Materials made by a team of DMN forum members, who have got together to make some C4D textures. (text from:DNM )- Sometimes the best way to learn something is to deconstruct a completed project. In this series of presets, a team of DMN readers got together to make some CINEMA4D textures. While the materials are mostly based on simple parameters, it may help you to understand how textures are made.There are so many different elements to a single material, and with-in each of those material parameters, there are several more options that create an almost infinite possibility for creating textures for your 3D objects.

CR2 Loader and Morph Tools for Cinema 4D !!

Greenbriar Studio's CR2 Loader and Morph Tools for Cinema 4D

- This is more of a presentation of Greenbriar Studio's CR2 Loader 1.6 and Morph Tools than an evaluation since I do not work with rigging figures in Poser or in Cinema 4D. When I started this project, I just wanted to see how Poser figures would load into Cinema 4D R9.52. Instead I ended up working with the CR2 Loader, Morph Tools and Conformer Software. I had a number of questions along the way, and David Matthews of Greenbriar Studio was immediately responsive and a pleasure to work with. The CR2 loader will import PZZ, CR2, CRZ, HR2, HRZ, PP2, PPZ files from Poser 5 and 6 into Cinema 4D. There are different versions of the Loader depending on the Release of Cinema 4D. I am importing the Poser files into Cinema 4D R9.52............................Read on!!
