Fun facts:
The text was AI generated. I did not expect a reference to the CEO by name. Later I asked for an interview. It wasn't an elaborate prompting at all, I asked three times all and all. I was clear of my intensions so it knew it was supposed to be an April Fools article.
I asked for C4D screenshots for the next version... It kept drawing Blender elements on them. Curiously there's a repeating pattern that resembles a mix of the old logo of the Blue Pearl with the splash screen of R21 (see last two images)
I removed the AI image from the article the next day just because it was too cursed... I later thought I could make the YT image to link to a Rick Roll video but it was too late.
The Rocket Lasso image is a manipulated version of the S26
I asked for a new C4D logo but it refused, there must be a limit of 3 generated images per day I guess.
The Chamferer icon is the CV-Chamfer icon.
I designed the Spline SFD icon by templating the Spline Mask icon.
I planned this prank 4 days in advance.
Spline SFD, Chamferer, Outliner and Field Distribution are all real but not as versatile to construct as they are presented. I did not expect the Spline SFD to be that fast in viewport. The Field Distribution was the most time consuming as I had to construct an XPresso rig to manipulate 4 coencentric Torus Fields from the radius of the visible Spherical Field... real pain in the a$$ and didn't manage to link the Inner Offset to the radius of the inner most Torus to make it more believable. Fortunately I didn't have to spend extra time to recreate the UI of the Cloner as I had already done this a week earlier as a future sugggestion for MAXON.
