Dear All, i want to point out on the last days of our 50% summer special on our big architectural Materials/Texture collections at 3dtools.info. any bundle at half the price here until 5th September 2024: https://3dtools.info/dna-materials https://3dtools.info/materials/ best greetings Stefan

maybe put them into your own folder on new c4d asset browser on a local disc? the textures on asset browser here work fine(i use mine from 3dtools and the one that comes from maxon)

well even when the coding it was complicated , what it does and the usage is simple, you draw a spline and the UV follows it, you can controll the UV easy via spline points etc. this easy solves many issues in UV creation, i use it in almost every project myself, that said, you might be right, when i have some time i try to make a newer video maybe for it, so far it is regularly bought so i thought the explanation is enough.

you miss all our 3dtools.info plugins like TILEPRO, Rhino.io, GEOtex, UV splinemapper, Material Filter etc https://www.3dtools.info can you add them:) ? cheers Stefan

Dear ALL, great news, MERK and 3dtools.info, both C4D plugins developers, have teamed up on their tools! We now fully support all MERK plugins too, You now can get them all also via our 3dtools.info page. In special i want to point out on AIREN, his new forthcoming AI tool of a full and deep Cinema 4d like integration of Stable diffusion with control net, AI animation support, loras, embeddings, things like consistent face features, custom models etc It also adds text to 3d creation, sound, 360 degree environment, shaders etc, in my opinion this might change the way we work in c4d. no other implementation goes that far (also not the blender one) He made that very nice via native c4d deformers and objects, we are very impressed so far. It feels like a new c4d native (AI based) render engine for C4D. You can pre-order it now to support MERK and his development, and to save money, the final price will get higher. (Also as pre-order user you will get earlier access he said), you find it here for a reduced price of 199.- dollar: https://3dtools.info/merk-plugins-for-cinema-4d/ if you have questions on AIREN you can PM me or ask here. If you buy any of his plugins you not only support MERK but also 3dtools best greetings Stefan 3dtools.info A first preview video of an alpha is on the 3dtools link above

if you see great MERKs plugins, many of them are also among 100.- euro. that is as plugin developers and also we have to cover the development costs of such tools, otherwise they cant be made. We have to live from them. Hope you understand. 100 euro are usually depending where you are, for most maybe between 1-4h of work, but you save hundreds of hours with this UV tool.

i use my plugin UV splinemapper for this, we extra made this for curved or polygonal folder elements in building streets, furniture etc: https://3dtools.info/shop/spline-uv-mapper/ it generates a UVW map tag, that can be rendered in any engine and the result can be also rendered in other c4ds that not have this plugin. one controlls the fow of the UV via a simple c4d spline. no unfolding or bodypaint needed;)

Hi All, As there seem more and more Chaos Vantage users, i want to point out that all our materials beside the few V-Ray dirt concretes materials, also work in Chaos Vantage real time rendering. Like for example from C4D V-Ray via live link to Vantage!

sorry to hi jack this thread, if somebody is interested i also sell my old r20 perpetual license. perpetual. PM me in case cheers Stefan

Dear All, we are happy to announce that we ported all our texture sets/Materials now to Twinmotion 2023! https://3dtools.info/twinmotion-materials/ Twinmotion is like Unreal for architects, with a simpler and faster-to-use work flow, but the newest version offers high-end rendering and GI (inkl. lumen!) like unreal 5.3.

"viewport performance improvements? " yes, absolutely, is even faster than r2024.0

Dear All, as a reminder, the Special is still running with 30% off on all our Material & texture products! As some asked me, YES the textures come with free bonus shader presets for all texture sets, for the following engines: Redshift (C4d) Octane (C4D) Blender (via blendermarket) Corona render 6-10, (C4d and 3dsmax) V-Ray 6 (C4d & 3dsmax) D5 render (extra sets at 2 & 4k) Enscape 3D render (extra sets at 2 & 4k) They of course work in any other render or real time app, like Unreal5 or Twinmotion, Lumion etc. All are PBR texture sets with all needed channels at 8k, seamless of course, derived from real-world Photos we took.

Dear All, we are happy to announce that 3dtools.info has a 1-week SUMMER SPECIAL! Save 30% reduction on ALL our 8k High end Material Volumes, available for short time only (until end of Sept.): https://3dtools.info/shop-w here info pdfs: https://3dtools.info/dna-materials-pdfs/ All Materials are real-world based on Photographic input, hand crafted in Vienna 🙂 (no procedural textures like substance used) One of the available 8k seamless Volumes:

i would report this to the corona team in the corona forum. normally it works fine in my experience, but seems not all cases

Nope still not, never got the email. or anything so far. any idea?

i didnt get any link so far, does anybody know how long this takes? tx Stefan

3dtools.info has several of the c4d plugins and assets on reduced new years special price: https://3dtools.info

yes but it is perpetual and can be transferred to a new user. i also have a r20 by the way if someone is interested into an "old ssytsle serial based" perpetual lic.

if it not sells i not really care, i am on r25 and soon r2023. but it is a good options for people who cannot or do not want to jump for subscriptions for what ever reasons. R21 was one of the best c4d versions from past, and the last that has a full permanent license that cannot be turned off(no license server, no online activation needed).

Nitro made such a plugin, soon to buy. it connects stable diffusion with c4d(sends promt and image to SD and back To PV) i think it will be released soon Stefan

Dear All, as i have one commercial full r21 on the shelf which i have not in use anymore, i decided to sell it (full legal r21 version, perpetual ) Euro 990.- , private sale (transfer fee included) if you are interested please give me a message, wee can then talk details best Stefan

Dear All, as reminder, we are searching for good reliable modellers as freelance partners. best c4d based but also other soft is ok, like rhino, SU, archicad, or what ever does the job ok. important is to understand the architectural plans and architectural needs, and to be reliable, ideally we search for a long term relation ship. if you are interested, have time for such jobs , pls contact me via PM, thanks & all best Stefan

for all those wishing for a material search, we made one for our work, everyone can get it here for a small fee to cover the coding costs: https://3dtools.info/shop/matfilter/ it is a real time interactive material search/filter tool for the c4d material manger we made, i use it everyday in any project:) cheers Stefan

muhchris, glad you like our plugin! our c4d texturing workflow relies a lot on this for daily work (thats why we made it) 🙂 you can control, bend, align etc the UV by a simple c4d spline, without the need for unwrapp or bodypaint at all. best greetings Stefan 3dtools.info

this little plugin we did for easy finding and filtering materials in bigger scenes, material filter, you can et it for a small fee to compensate the development costs a bit: https://3dtools.info/shop/matfilter/ cheers Stefan
