Hello Jack,
No, I stopped my C4D subscription at R21 and I now use Blender and Houdini in my workflow...like 3DKiwi I was tired of waiting for something useful.
Yup, I've never used fields or volumes.
Yup, I have dedicated UV tools for this.
Yup, I don't do any character animations.
Why are you so angry? Some studios have different workflows...you need to be more inclusive!
Also the paid version of Polycam allows me to export the LiDAR scan directly to Sketchfab (glTF) which then imports flawlessly into Blender, textures and all.
@DasFrodoVery cool stuff! I haven't played around with Meshroom in a while and I agree it is a bit complicated and slow. My iPhone just took a dump so I picked up a 12 Pro with built in LiDAR which is amazing. Along with the free app Polycam I've been scanning everything in sight!
Since Epic bought ArtStation a few months back this move makes sense. Being a Pro user my upload limit has been increased from 30 to 50 models a month...with no increase in price...we'll see.
I'll second the vote for Photoline. It fills in the holes of Affinity Photo for me and even has a few features that are superior to Photoshop...and you can't beat the price to OWN it for life!
@AHVEN - Start laughing as I prefer Blender's UI over C4D in many ways...especially after the R21 debacle when they moved everything around! There are threads on Blender's forums where people dislike C4D's UI so the moral of the story is beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
BforArtists is available for those that prefer a different approach to the look and feel of Blender.
So true! But before Quark was around all my Mac friends were using Pagemaker which wasn't much better than VP (BTW, I still use QuarkXPress 7 for a few clients, lol) Good to know I'm not the only old timer here!
You've come a long way Igor! Your modeling skills in Houdini are improving everyday keep up the hard work as Houdini is a great asset to have in your arsenal of 3D tools!
I've been looking at LuxCoreRender but I may have a go with Renderman based on your results...thanks for the heads up.
