Yes indeed, I am also thinking about GeoJSON support and load from OpenStreetMap, but the way the road are designed is different. However, there is a new big update with the support of median stripe (not sure about the translation) : - Median - Better performance - Undo / Redo - New bike texture https://code.vonc.fr/pathphalt You can try this configuration :

Use a single effector op and transform matrices node where you will wire in all transformations. Be advised that these are all experiemntal features and should be treated as such : )

Noseman did an introduction tutorial series on Cineversity: https://cineversity.maxon.net/en/series/particles-overview

When asked about indie pricing in an interview, Dave responded with a straight face that Maxon already has individual pricing along with teams pricing. It seemed rehearsed. He refuses to acknowledge the fact that Autodesk and SideFX have pricing for individual seats and teams, but also have indie licensing as well. As maxon fiddled with their student requirements and pricing for about a year a shift is happening gradually away from traditional centers of learning (uni, college, training centers) to online training where the cost is significantly cheaper (or free). Maxon doesn't work with most online schools so people can't get Maxon student licenses and Maxon hates indie licenses. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone willing to shell out $$ for a C4D+RS or Maxon One bundle just for learning. What's a free app with lots of free learning available online? Blender. Another app that has an apprentice version? Houdini. Max and Maya can be had pretty cheaply too with the indie license. For students, the choices are absolutely clear. These are the people that may ultimately be making decisions in the future about what a studio uses as they become senior designers, generalists and artists. If they've never been exposed to Maxon products due to cost, who do you think they'll go with? I've seen a few training courses on Gnomon and other sites where the seasoned artists are moonlighting, teaching Blender because it's free for them at home and currently there's a lot of interest. So far there's a lot of interest in the community from apps OTHER than C4D...

a quick and dirty menger sponge effect. of course, my method is always weird and dumb... 08-sn-menger-sponge.c4d

If that suits you, that's perfect. Particles, pyro, redone dynamics and softbodies and the upcoming fluids are all from the new regime, not the old one, so the devs are clearly adding something, but I think it will take another year or more before everyone can look at C4D and view it as being fully changed and beefed up from what had come before. As Mash once pointed out, you used to see or hear bugger all from the Maxon heads back in the day, so I view having Dave doing an interview and appearing super focused on where C4D is going is an improvement. If you have R20 perpetual and it mostly does everything you need, you'll save some bucks by not subbing and you can put the cash towards other apps or whatever that might fill in the gaps.
