  1. Just yesterday I had some time to test out animation cache in Corona renderer. I agree it is bit awkward if you need to render something and have some preview ready for client. I use Corona for still images only at the moment. Perhaps I could check out Redshift too. There was a nice demo in Videocopilot that got me interested in Reshift on a first place.
  2. You can render UHD cache in Corona and render animations with animation mode. Just like you do in vrayforc4d. Perhaps redshift is more beginner friendly if you don´t have to pre-render illumination cache.
  3. Perhaps got to learn some basics like modeling a dice.

    Needs materials and render
  7. Agree 2.8 is way better than older versions. If they manage to develop it better then MAXON is screwed. Licencing is free with Blender as there is no payment. There is not so much obnoxious threshold in 2.8 when trying stuff in Blender if user has many years with Cinema 4D. First when you opened Blender 2.x version after Cinema 4D you felt that GUI was horse sh**. The unpleasant factor was much higher in 2.5-2.7 versions. I felt my eagerness to learn Blender had a bar set too high because of very bad GUI friendliness. Open source is developed faster than Cinema 4D. Interface may suck because there are too many options visible that you don´t need. It is not Audi or BWM like Cinema 4D but more like Skoda. Same stuff or even more is available but the driving is different. Other than that Blender is still not compatible with mainstream production studios that use Cinema 4D and Vrayforc4d for their production pipeline. There is no way you can continue Cinema 4D project in Blender with all the project assets converted perfectly. Cinema 4D to Blender plugin would be as great as 3Ds max to Cinema 4D plugin. Also a great threat to MAXON as it wants to control *.c4d file format. There is already 3Dsmax to Blender available. https://www.3dtoall.com/products/maxtoc4d/ I was an ex-insider and I have worked as Cinema 4D specialist in finnish Cinema 4D distributor. They do not promote Blender in any way because they work in commercial sphere.
  8. Actually I enjoyed Scatter add on. I have tried some scatter plugins in Cinema 4D like Octanes built in and Forester but Blender scatter is very effective. Also Eevee renderer is pretty fast!
  9. You don´t do anything with power when your sticks are all over the place. Very powerful as it was read in the Blender marketing text. Blender has potential if it is developed into user friendly some day. User base ignore the horrible interface and are happy because it´s free. It was bad in 2.7 but it´s ok with current and almost useful if they remove all tabs from the top menu and change all into graphical interface. No TABS ! One has TABS in Spreadsheet applications like Microsoft Excel.
  10. Do not use IPR it is buggy it is crappy. I use Native renderer for Vrayforc4d render. You only find problems if you use it. I have tested IPR in Sketchup Vray and there are far not as many bugs as in Cinema 4D Vray.
  11. Sorry guys but I only consider abusing Blender to find free 3d-models and use it only as exporter to Cinema 4D. Otherwise it is much waste of time to learn many 3d-applications. Blender is good if you don´t afford to use commercial 3d-application for example in developing countries. There are amazing new Blender artists coming out from Africa for instance.
  12. Considering Unreal Engine for vrayforc4d or Corona. Too much revisions.....

    Seems to be an Empty Draw for Cinema 4D artist in Europe. Experienced with 3D modeling programs such as Maya, 3ds Max, or Blender This is a Remote opportunity for anyone in the US or Canada.
  14. Recently I was learning Archicad 23 and did not have time to learn Blender until now.
  15. This is Easyupload animation challenge. 1. Make a new banner video for easyupload.net 2. Artistic idea: Show file transfer between user and cloud. Animation needs to show a cloud and a computer. You can use Mograph and Cinema 4D + you can use After Effects. 3. Final video output is 640x480 px and 30 fps. Encoding should be MP4 without audio. 4. How to deliver? Post a download link on this post. Price: Winner gets full user account for one year at easyupload.net Normally package is worth 99 euros. Here is original one currently using at site: http://easyupload.net/themes/flow/frontend_assets/images/home/banner_video.mp4 #cinema4d #motiongraphics #mograph PS: User terms at easyupload http://easyupload.net/terms.html
  16. I think there is lot of potential with Blender now for C4D users because of new interface.
  17. I feel C4D is much like BMW. Simple user interface and premium german quality.
  18. Older tutorials featuring Xpresso and Hair tips. Added more old tutorials. http://base80.com/2020/05/03/proximal-hair-shader/
  19. Seriously great stuff. Love the use of different approaches with 2d/3d.
  20. I did not use any plugins and run simple animated cube in viewport and it crashed. Nvidia 960M gfx card on a laptop. With R19 there´s no problems like this.
  21. For me R19 was and still is the best version. Does not crash often. R21 has serious stability at least when running on laptop nvidia graphics cards. Any nvidia updates won´t fix any viewport crashed.
