Hey Core community! Glad to be on board here. My name is Marc, I am a Designer from Düsseldorf. For more than 20 years now I run my studio renderbaron, focused on visualization and Visual Effects. I am using Cinema 4D since 1997. My passion is Shading, Lighting & Rendering. Since a few years I qualify as a Maxon Cinema 4D Master Trainer. Looking forward to this community 🙂 Cheers from Düsseldorf, Germany Marc

Welcome aboard!

Very happy to welcome someone of your experience/knowledge to Core4D. Also very excited about your YouTube page (I just subscribed). I am always on the hunt for good hardware tutorials and good rendering tutorials -- Redshift especially but even Physical Renderer as well. Question: I noticed your review of the RTX 3090 Surpim X. The cost of that GPU in the US is around $3500 (today's prices --- past sales did have it lower). What attracted you to that card over the RTX-A6000: A bit more money (around $700 more if you purchase it with a workstation from Lenovo), but twice the memory. Thanks, Dave

Excellent, welcome indeed ! - lovely to have some more rendering wizards aboard ! CBR

R25 just is a mess. I don't want to reduce the work of the developers, as I think it is a result of a change in development principles. I am shure they are doing what they can. Today it is quite common to develop parallel not sequential anymore. R25 and the "secret" and retracted 25.016 feel more like a build of the current development instead of a finished product. I personally do not care how they develop, but I think the customer has a right to get a product that feels finished. I wanted to write, that R25 is not suitable as a perpetual version (who wants to pay >3000€ for this without the hope to ever get a finished product) but as I see it it doesn't matter if you are on subscription or on perpetual. People have to work with this software every day and for this price point they are entitled to get at least a cohesive software that is stable and complete. As a perpetual customer you are stuck with a expensive "beta" version of a software, but as a subscriber you also never get a finished product just a new "beta" version. Don't understand me wrong. C4D still is acceptable to work with (I had to work with S24 wich was much better than R23) but R25 with its unfinished and unnecessary UI overhaul new bugs and clumsy updates really feels like a unnecessary release to me. If they can not produce a finished product every half year, they should skip the S releases. No one is helped with new but over and over unfinished releases. People have to work with this software, it is not a computer game or something.
