Thread 1014897

Have a cinema 4d question? recently started a project? Or simply want to talk about modeling and texturing

>>1014897 (OP)
Has Cinema similar procedures unions like Blenders geometry nodes?
And does Cinema have a capable built-in render engine or would you suggest to get a plugin like Octane or Redshift rendered?

Fuck you, gay autocorrect.

> procedual and geometry node

Yes cinema 4d is what blender could have being if the developers and community give a fuck about it then larping. Cinema 4d is blender ui working.
> render egine
Cinema 4d come with his own build render but depend on what you looking for. You can buy redshift in their site i think is included in the subscription.

>>1014901
I used it for a long time but what puts me off it now is the subscription BS and online only renderers like Octane and Redshift.

>>1014901
So what are the procedural functions called and how can I access the node system in C4D?Trying to look it up, but no satisfying results are popping up yet.

>>1014902
Yes, this is something that puts me off about many applications ... Corporate greed is gatekeeping talent from entering the market.

>>1014903
You can ask google and youtube for that

Just download a torrent version

>>1014905
>torrent version
yeah these don't have a working RS or Octane because they are not cracked dimwit

>>1014904
Epic

I dont want to go down that path, anon. :(

>>1014906
How about VRay? Doesnt it work offline and as a plugin for C4D?

>>1014908
Vray was cracked back then, don't know about the most recent versions. Another comparable cracked one was Corona (no relation). Arnold too used to work with an RLM server.

>>1014908
But you have to if you want to become a 3d artist. If you can own it stealing is not wrong.

>>1015175
Nah, maybe in the future. I believe to become a good 3d artist it takes more than relying on "the best software" available. There are many theoretical and technical aspects to CGI. A good artist can create art even if using a "worse" tool.

What is C4D good for that houdini and blender or maya or after effects don't do better?

I learned the latter four softwares on my own over many years for fun. But lately I've discovered there's a whole animation/cg/mograph scene in my town and EVERY SINGLE PERSON mains C4D. I'm not mad, I just don't understand it because in the forums where I learned everything, C4D feels like a forgotten product.

>>1017060
It gets shit done. Not as much cancer as the other 3d softwares and if you like to do motiondesign it has great stuff with MoGraph and fields. The pseudo-fluid dynamics with the new particel system is also pretty good (if you wanna go down the dark paths)
