i also wonder, is there ANY forum or discord server etc where there are all the c4d users today? also- how many c4d users are there out there, they must be somewhere;) i dont think so many went to other apps like blender, or am i wrong? i am aware many not use forums anymore, but maybe a discord server dedicated to c4d or the like? i somehow miss the times where all had been at one forum more or less together (like in very old tiles cgtalk) maybe making the core4d forum visible to visitors might help attracting some more, i agree with the posts above in that regard.

Hi all, does anybody has a cinebench (multi core cpu) for the new m1 ultra mac already? thx! St.

my experience: i am c4d user since v6/v7, atm i have r19 still in use for converting some old stuff, all real work in r25 meanwhile . r25 is the most stable for me since r19. despite several other people for me c4d improved in good ways, for our big scenes (4gb+) it is many times faster in many ways, rendering, and interface than in 19,20,21,23. many small and partly also bigger things improved. i had issues first with the r25 gui , but now i prefer it a lot over the old one. for me it is a pain to go back to r23 or even 19 for some conversion tasks. of course i hope too for improvements (modelling for me mostly)

i think , at least for my work, there are great nurbs modeller which are very capable of every days live for many tasks, for me the best is rhino3d. it is is a great nurbs modeller, it has subdivs (they can switch back and forth between nurbs or poly topology), rhino can render perfect,, displace, twist, deform, point, edge, face move, history, etc it includes grass hopper (like c4d geometry nodes but more advanced), and imports and and exports a big number of 2d and 3d formats. the meshing settings for export can be also set to be quads. for me it is the #1 companion to c4d, so i can use best from both worlds(poly c4d, nurbs rhino) the plasticity looks also quite nice , (a bit like moi for me)

back to origional theme subject:) we added a r23/24 version on user request of the C4D MATERIAL FILTER. you can also email us wishes for small plugins that you wish to have, we can make them for a minimal price tag like the filter:) email wishes to "shop_sales [at] 3dtools.info" cheers Stefan

Dear All, here is a small helper tool, something we had in V-Ray 3.x, and what we and many users yet miss, a filter/search tool for the c4d material manager! it works interactive while you type, and can be docked anywhere in the GUI, and it works with any materials from any render engine in c4d. it cost only 9.- euro netto and it needs no serial. we support R25 WIN und OSX (includingM1): https://3dtools.info/shop/matfilter/ if there is interest we are glad to support also r23. we included "regex support" (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dot...uick-reference) if you have ideas for more features just tell us best greetings, Stefan

Dear All, we are in search architectural 3d modellers who are capable of correctly reading and understanding 2d cad plans and can model precise nice, and clean arch models, in reasonable time frames, for rendering inside C4D (corona, vray, vantage, RS) Modelling is preferred to be made in C4D, or also in Rhino3d and/or Archicad. the open positions are as freelancer, and can be done from anywhere, probably as side job (not full time). speaking fluent english OR german is required. if you are interested or have questions send me a personal message here, so we can contact you. best greetings Stefan

funny thought,but yes you are right Paul:) i started first time c4d 1997 in new york,i think was v5 a mac. on v7 i started to render with in in Vienna at an architecture office. i think v8 studio,i bought then for my own work. Stefan

best google for the "NVIDIA FLEX simulation engine" which his basically is(integrated into c4d) this might show you what this nvidia softbody sim can do. from my experience it is for sure better than the internal solutions, x particles i not have tried. marvelous designer i only have an rather old verisons so not sure about this either, but marvelous is a very dedicated cloth sim, so i assume this is another thing

Dear C4D users, In the name of Remo (Remotion) our co worker of the qucumber.at dev and c4d artists team, i am very happy to be able to announce the release of UniFlex v4 with 21/22 support. Updates from older versions are available too. Uniflex is build on base of the well known NVIDIA FLEX simulation engine, with gpu acceleration. If you need quick and robust simulation engine for Rope, Soft-Bodies, Cloth, Semi Rigid Bodies and etc. and that is when Uniflex4 step in. Uniflex4 is a particle based simulation plug-in with use of Nvidia Flex Solver for real-time visual effects, unlike traditional visual effects that are made using a combination of elements created using specialized solvers for rigid bodies, fluids, clothing, etc, Uniflex4 uses a unified particle representation for all object types, it enables new effects where different simulated substances can interact with each other seamlessly. And since UniFlex4 use the power of GPUs all simulations made in real-time and can be baked on the fly as a file sequence. Key Features are: Unified solver for effects Rigid/deformable bodies Turnkey solutions Phase transition Particles Adhesion Fluids Cloth Rope Gases Right now it works with MAXON Cinema 4D R20, R21,R22 Windows versions and all rendere engines (The internal #c4d engine, and direct within #corona, #vray, #redshift, #Octanecpu or gpu engine, cloud or standalone renderer). UNIFLEX v4 is available 49.-euro for a limiited time (after that the normal price will be 59.- euro netto) UNIFLEX v4 update is available for 50% of the price (24.- euro atm) The plugin is made by our qucumber.at team member Remo (remotion4d) you can get UNIFLEX v4 and also the update from older versions to v4 here on our 3dtools.info shop: 3D TOOLS dot INFO UniFlex 4 - 3D TOOLS dot INFO UniFlex 4 is the simulation engine for Roper, Soft-Bodies, Cloth, Semi Rigid Bodies and more for MAXON Cinema 4D R20, R21 Windows only UniFlex 4 have Nvidia Flex engine integrated, this allow for much faster simulation done on GPU. best greetings Stefan p.s.: Remo asked me to sell it for him so he can concentrate on developing, we do this to help him:)
