Hi, I'm working with C4D since 2005 as my main 3D package and I absolutely love the software. C4D has always been my favourite tool and I've used it for all of my productions. But I think MAXON is heading in a strange direction with their pricing policy in general and I'd like to find out if other customers share my opinion or if it's just me. Firstly, I'd like to summarize my opinion: C4D is just too expensive compared to other 3D packages and there should be a lower priced indie version of C4D for individuals or smaller studios with a revenue <100k per year. Here's why: If you compare the prices of the most common …

Hi community, lately I am watching this guy's tutorials which are fantastic while he developed a very promising plugin. But the site is down for long time and there is no info regarding the luck of this dude and his project. His work is fantastic and learned so many things from him. Does anyone knows what happened? Anyone had the chance to work with this plug in? Is there any alternative to get such, lights and cam stands? He made enormous work I have to admit.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzObGRbFSMk

I have no idea why I avoided this so long for a little inconvenience of setting it up and using it. The results are insane. I am not even colorgrading my renders and they look like they just went to an entire higher level. Especially the colors. I urge everyone to have a look at it and integrate it into their workflows when possible. As I said, I haven't colorgraded with it yet but it doesn't seem to be that much of a pain for way, way better results. Here's some comparison shots. Top is always sRGB, bottom is ACES. Look at these juicy colors! Here's a video on how t…

Through recent developments in my professional life I am more or less forced to use 3DS Max. Last time I've had a look at it was about 10 years ago while I was trying out different 3D packages. I've been learning 3DS Max for about five days now and at this point I know why I stuck with C4D. I'm trying to be as open minded as possible, but right now I am really struggling to see how Max is in any way acceptable in 2020. The more I use it the more I dislike it. It feels like using an egg whisk to mix up some cement; certainly possible but a pain in the butt and when you're done you're questioning your life choices that brought you to this point. A list of majo…

Building independently from market leaders DJI and their own 3D photo-scanning solutions, the Skydio 2, which has its main focus on fully automated flight, can analyse the data it gets, in real time, and then tells itself exactly where to fly to capture data it is still missing ! That's a big leap forward, and possibly only something as sophisticated as Skydio's immaculate collision avoidance can permit this level of control, precision and thoroughness.... It's not cheap, but hell is it good ! CBR

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

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…
