Dear members In last 24 hours forum there were few attemps to breach into forum and put it out of service. These attempts failed but security operations that are onging will cause slower loading times and short downtimes due to spam defense and other armor services. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. Interestingly, the attacks originated from EU and we forwarded all our findings to authorities. Personally, for the love of life, I can't understand why someone would want to harm a community of software artist and 3D people having fun time and helping each other. Thanks Robert

Unread topics in bold is working now. There were a lot of optimizations and forum should be much smoother overall. We have an experience engineer working on backend. once again, big thanks to all members for their continued membership support, all premium supporters and anonymus donators. This forum would simply not be here without you ❤️

We're testing the fix for unread stuff in topic feeds becoming bold, looks good so far, should be up today. I would also like to take the opportunity to thanks two members l....... and k....... for their substantial donations which made this server and forum upgrade possible. BIG thank you

That seems to be the issue with latest forum software we are using where unread topics are not in bold font. Currently we're looking into source code to resolve that

C4D scene files - many of them : )

Forum should be much faster than before, however, forum is huge and has massive database. We're cleaning up in background and some other services are running which may cause slowdowns. Is it slow for you all the time or periodically ?

Shees, that was a lot of data to process in upgrade, forum is over 300Gb. we are working on it in background but everyhting should be in order now, including emoticons 🙂 💫

dear members, forum is upgraded, we will be working on all little issues as we go. You can freely post and enjoy the forums!

You can do some basic math but not expressions

Dear members We are starting the process of upgrading the forum software including security fixes, new spam defense services, database cleanup and overall experience improvements. This will require some down time so if you are unable to access the website in following 12 hours do not be alarmed. thanks for understanding!

Mail is sent after completion of purchase, make sure you check spam folder. Some hosts, unfortunately consider our mails as spam, so if you haven't received it please send me dm

should be fine, check now please

This helper plugin will display mesh dimensional data. It works in point, edge and polygon mode and displays individual lengths in point and edge mode, with total length. In polygon mode it displays area and total area of all selected polygons. Point mode Two or more points are selected and the length between them is displayed Alternatively, selecting points which are not connected will provide you with distance between them without using mesh itself, just a shortest line between the tow. In edge mode it calculates edge lengths In polygon mode is calculates area There are additional controls to choose custom colors and transform the resulting dimensions To install simply import it into content browser https://www.core4d.com/ipb/store/product/47-dimensions/ Requirements: Cinema version 2024+ is required

They are being worked on as we speak. We hope to make our yt channel a goto source of nodes knowledge along with the forum. Thank you!

dear members, we now have 7 videos on Youtube channel! Hop over and subscribe even if you are not into nodes, it will help the channel grow which will help us make more quality content, thank you!

thanks geoblob We found the culrpit in software we use. Audio is much louder now, yet the intro sound got boosted as well. Next video will have all leveled properly : )

We have a new video with properly normalized audio, thx everyone for the tips https://www.youtube.com/@CORE4D Everyone, please consider subscribing even if nodes are not your cup of tea, this will help us grow the channel and produce more content!

Thank you very much for checking. We just realised that compression we used for audio track leads to automatic lower db output than original. It will be resolved for future videos

Can I trouble you to check the audio on other few videos and see if you are experiencing the same?

Thanks Donovan! we have 3 videos so far, fourth is on the way for tomorrow. If you have any suggestions don't hesitate to slide us a dm

Thanks! We intend to go from basics all the way to nifty, complex TD stuff. There is obvious shortage of quality training on this matter. I'd like to take the opportunity to thank one of our members who is sponsoring the creation of videos who wishes to stay anonymus. Thanks You ******!

Dear members We are happy to announce brand new Youtube channel with focus on C4D node system. In our research we realized that training content for nodes is very sparse and lacking in quality and depth. We already have two lessons available which will be part of ongoing series. Humble request from our side is that, even if you are not into nodes, please subscribe in order that the channel grows which will enable us to monetize it down the road. On longer timeline this can enable us to reduce the subscription period or even remove it alltogether and open up forum for many more artists. https://www.youtube.com/@CORE4D Thank you and enjoy the content! P.S. Any member willing to contribute to the channel is more than welcome - drop us a message : )

Paul established a US-based entity for Maxon, to serve North and South America and introduced Cinema 4D to The Americas in 1998, His initiatives included strategic partnerships with industry-leading production studios and design firms, along with orchestrating product bundles with Adobe After Effects and Apple Final Cut Pro. Paul's leadership and strategic planning played a pivotal role in Maxon's unprecedented growth. Today, Cinema 4D stands out as one of the fastest-growing and widely-used 3D products for digital content creation. He takes pride in being part of a team that facilitated the emergence of 3D in the motion graphics industry. In 2016, Paul was honored with the Studio Daily 50 award, recognizing influential creatives and technologists. Known for his creative energy, customer service advocacy, and support for training and education, Paul is often invited to speak at industry events, particularly on the subject of motion graphics. Describe yourself in a single word Enabler (the good kind 🙂 ) How did you get into C4D/ Maxon and 3D in general? In the early 90’s I got my first job in the 3D industry – marketing managerfor ElectricImage (a 3D animation product on Mac). This was in the early days of 3D. I was there for a few years (learned a lot about the industry, artists and studios). They were purchased by the company Play (wellknown for the Snappy). Play was formed by former marketing people from Newtek. I was pretty sure my position was redundant, so, I went back into freelance marketing. Maxon started out as one of those freelance jobs. Which area interests you most? Facilitating, inspiring, motivating and helping creatives be successful in achieving their vision. What other apps are you using and what for? I assume this question is more geared towards artists. How about I tell you one of the things I find really interesting out there? I think Rive (https://rive.app/) is an extremely innovative and unique new offering and a significant breakthrough in the creation of real time vector graphics. At its core, Rive is a new graphics format. Rive graphics are not just static; they can be animated, interactive, and functional. The format and its players are open source so designers can create interactive content forproducts, apps, websites, and games - and Rive runs anywhere (web,iOS, Android, Windows, Unreal, Unity, C++, etc.). A huge advantage is how greatly it speeds up workflow by reducing designer-developer handoff. Which learning resources you used and would recommend? This forum of course, Cineversity, of course! School of Motion, Linkedin Learning, and YouTube/Google searches for anything useful. Do you think talent is overrated and can be offset with a lot of hard work? I’ve always felt there were two types of 3D animators and digital artists ingeneral - those who are naturally artistic and less technical, and those who are more technical with less artistic background. We used to call it right and left brained, (but I’ve recently read some scientists call that a fallacy). And there are those amazing exceptions – the people who seem to have both artistic “talent” and an innate understanding of technology. Talent is an intrinsic skill (as in something that comes natural to you). But it is a skill. So yes, I do think those not born with it can develop artistic sensibility. Your best advice for newcomers, tip or trick to pick up regarding marketing and industry? Create. Even with talent, nothing comes without practice and execution. Create what you love, what inspires you. Be inspired by others. Inspire others. Thoughts on AI? Artists worrying about how AI is going to affect the industry and their careers is completely understandable. But it cannot be ignored. It’s here and it’s not going away. The best thing to do is figure out how it canultimately serve and empower you. Part of being a creative professional is adapting to what is thrown at you, whether it be a client’s desires or technology advancements. Top 3 wishes for C4D a. That it will continue to humbly serve the artistic community. b. That it will continue to innovate and impact the industry. c. That it will be remembered as having a positive impact on the industry and secure a place in design history. Message for Core4D Stay positive, stay passionate and keep the community spirit. Tell us something we could not possibly know about you but you find important or funny : ) In my early 20’s I was an actor. I did mostly stage musicals, but I did doone film. I was a pirate in the movie Hook. I was also in the Hook Coke commercial – like everything else it can still be found on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUIAPbXevaA For fun, I still perform in a band with my buddy and my daughter https://thelaurelcanyonband.com/ Plans after a long journey with Maxon? Clear my head, look out into the horizon of the industry and get a good idea of what’s happening in the industry and where it’s going. Hopefully, I will find something where I can focus my passion and energy. Yes, I am actually looking for a job (it’s been rumored I am retiring – no way!! I have too much energy left.) – hopefully, it will besomewhere in the industry. This industry is my family. Also, some exciting news. This week I've accepted an invitation to be an Advisor for the team at Rive. It’s not a job. I took an advisory position for a product I think has a tremendous amount of potential in the interactive design industry. I encourage everyone to check it out. Really innovative and fun.
