I finally put some time into Blender to see how the new version stacks up to C4D on a small test animation. I made everything in blender but did do a pass with some motion blur in After Effects as well. It was much easier than before to learn but that's not saying it's easy... just better than before. I have 20+ years in Cinema so it's not going to be easy to figure out by comparison. I did get something accomplished though and that's something. Cycles is pretty slow! I'll be using C4D and my 80+ plugins for it in the near future for most things but there is potential with Blender. My blog post on the subject

Corona Renderer 7 has been released for 3ds Max: http://www.cgchannel.com/2021/07/chaos-czech-ships-corona-renderer-7-for-3ds-max/ I wonder how far off the C4d version can be. Any rumours?

Does anybody know whether there will be a C4D R24 perpetual version? I was shocked to see that Redshift is going the subscription way.. So if C4D becomes subscription only, I'm outta here. -Ingvar

I've been given a lot of tasks recently that involve making custom city scapes and building interiors/floor plans. As much as I'd like to use purchased stock, I haven't found a whole lot beyond very modern interiors and major metropolitan city scapes. Do you guys know of any sites to purchase libraries/packs of stock models of that nature? Right now I'm on the hunt for more rural scapes (think the midwest instead of California or New York). These are the sites I've been looking through: https://www.turbosquid.com/ https://sketchfab.com/store?ref=header https://www.cgtrader.com/ https://assetstore.unity.com/

The announcement that Redshift is going to subscription only has renewed everyone's fears that Maxon may drop the bomb in September that C4D will be moving to subscription only. No one really knows but it would follow the Adobe timeline if it happened. So that got me to thinking --- what is the biggest fear to the hobbyist about subscriptions. Well, subscriptions do move the user base from a "pay to upgrade" to a "pay to use" model, which kills all incentive for innovation and software development. Like other companies in a subscription model have shown us, over time you are paying for the same bugs, same missing features and essentially the same softwar…

So folks, as every year at some point we start discussing next release. Seems like a good time to slowly do the same for R25. So what are your expectations, what would you like to see next and so on?

Hi guys! We have just started the third season of the CG Talks podcast. The first two episodes were mostly news, so I thought I would post the third one, ‘Fringes of CG’. In the far reaches of the CG animation world, beyond the reach of mainstream pop culture, dwells some pretty incredible and sometimes batshit crazy content. Join us as we descend into the surreal landscapes of out-of-the-box creators, and reexamine our perception of Art and Creativity! Before listening I encourage you to check the resource links – there is a lot of weird stuff to watch. CG talks S03E03: Fringes of CG We have just fi…

Hi there, Although I’m really a hobbyist, I really enjoy working in C4D, AE and Illustrator, and would like to improve my skills. You never know, one day I could have a fab reel. I’m lucky enough to have free access, through my library, to LinkedIn Learning (previously Lynda.com). The courses are good but I’m yearning for more structure and the company of others, if only online. In consequence I’m considering taking an online course at School of Motion. If you have any experience of this organization or have any pointers for me I’d love to know. Thanks. https://www.schoolofmotion.com/

If I cancel my subscription can I still continue to use current version R24 or do they block it? Also can I still use other versions before I subscribed ? I still have R20 21 and 22 which were on the MSA.
