Blender 2.91 released today! The new sculpting tools are pretty cool. https://www.blender.org/download/releases/2-91/

You are in luck. I was in the same boat a year ago, and I discovered this little gem: https://wonderunit.com/storyboarder/ Best of all: it is free! *Edit* Get the latest version from Github: https://github.com/wonderunit/storyboarder/releases

AMD ProRender 3 released today for Blender. The major change is support for hardware-accelerated ray tracing on AMD’s Radeon RX 6000 Series GPUs: something previously only available on Nvidia RTX GPUs in the native Cycles renderer. http://www.cgchannel.com/2020/11/amd-ships-radeon-prorender-3-0-for-blender/

Redshift is available for the Mac now. It works on Big Sur with Vega and Navi GPU's. M1 support is in development. AMD windows is also under development but we don't have a release date. The Mac version is a strong Pre release available to all redshift customers. Cheers Dave

I like the new Sketchup-like extrude. All new features in 5 minutes: https://www.blender.org/download/releases/2-90/

Hi all, I am pretty new here, but I am already liking this community a lot and I hope I can make more and more contribution soon. I have been trying out Arnold Rendering in the past few days. As you can see here below in these rendering (Yellow Man, Box and wooden sphere) I am really starting up, but I have a few questions: Yellow Man https://share.getcloudapp.com/P8umjNe4 Box and wooden sphere https://share.getcloudapp.com/6qux71Y9 1. Do you think is OK if i start with Arnold Render? I don’t have great expertise in the Cinema 4D Native

I agree - the very first version I did not like all too much. A year ago I tested it again, and it had much improved. It will work with PhotoLine or Krita now - not only Photoshop.

A new point release is installed alongside the older versions. So if you have 2.90 installed, 2.91 will be installed as a new version, and the older version is still available. To transfer existing preferences and add-ons, do this: https://twominutetuts.com/tutorial/transferring-settings/ And a free addon is available from the Blender Cloud to synchronize settings and preferences across multiple machines. https://cloud.blender.org/services

This is my first project in c4d, I'm open for critique and feedback!

Very nice for a first project. Still room for little details like bolts, nuts, metal seams etc... ;)

Metal is a part of the Mac Operating System. Vulkan will be similarly transparent...A render engine might use it, but it would be invisible to you. You wouldn't install it nor need to know anything about it. The reason I mention these technologies is to explain purchase options and to help people understand how 3d rendering software is dependent on software outside their control. For the short term it's pretty simple: for Macs you want AMD...for PC's you want Nvidia.

Just noticed that some of the Pixel Lab products are sold at the HelloLuxx site for 40% off while Pixel Lab is only offering 30%. Now not all Pixel Lab products are sold by HelloLuxx but it may be worth looking into if you are interested in their products. Dave

There is no clear line you could draw. While rendering is heavily multithreaded there are a few exceptions, the other way around interactive tools are very hard to multithread, but some functions still have parts that use it. This is all not a really important question though, not the way it was a couple of years ago. Modern CPUs have very high single core boost performance, enough to not have to look for single threading optimization. Just get a modern AMD or Intel CPU and be done with it. oh, and please ignore what is said about this in old threads, for one, it is mostly outdated, se

Ask and he shall receive ... I downloaded the Star Destroyer from Sci-fi Meshes. I don’t remember the creator’s name.

R11 introduced 64 Bit support on OS X, something that is now a must to run on current OS X versions since 32 bit is not supported anymore. Mind you, until recently the Cinema 4D installer on OS X was still 32 bit so you would have to install older Cinema 4D versions on a system that supports 32 bit and then copy the installation over. Have an image of R5 XL running on WIndows 10

It's been ages since I posted any work, mainly due to personal projects getting sidelined by work stuff & ending up half-finished. Anyway, I have a tendancy to just post things when they're done but this time I want to do more of an actual WIP, although I have obviously put quite a bit of work in already. Over christmas, I visited the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford with family & was inspired by a Chinese Coromandel Screen: http://jameelcentre.ashmolean.org/collection/7/10223/10232/all/per_page/25/offset/0/sort_by/seqn./object/17562 The aim will be to produce a li

Having same issues with BigSur c4d r23.110, I have tried trashing prefs, deleting Wacom driver and getting zero functionality from c4d. App opens fine but crashes as soon as I add anything to the scene. Running a 2015 MacBook Pro with an IrisPro GPU. R21 won't open at all. I cannot send crash report as the dialogue doesn't appear. I tried the hotkeys to send crash report but no luck. Good thing I have a PC running everything fine
