I get a huge discount on my Cinema 4D + Redshift bundle, ca. 200CHF less than before. So this is very nice at least for my needs. The fact that a lot of Library Content is only for Maxon One subscription, is not the best way. I only use C4D and Rendshift. I do not need all the other Maxon One products. I feel that Maxon pushes the Maxon One subscription a lot and forgets more and more about the longtime C4D Users. I remember the Maxon Villa Time, with great User Meetings great connections, and more of a family feeling. I understand that Maxon has to grow and have to move on. But please Maxon don't forget the long-time Cinema 4D users.

I have LightWave 3D 2023 and I'm super happy that LightWave 3D is back. I also beleve that it will become better on each new Update. I play arrownd with Turbulance FD inside LightWave 3D 2023 and it is very good implemented and super stabile. The fire and smoke looks great, way better than the C4D Fire and smoke. Also it is super fast in the Viewport and in Rendering.

Now it is official, the Deal is done, and LightWave 3d will be back. The development starts now, and we will get the first previews, maybe the roadmap and the new Homepage for LightWave 3D online, on May 4th- LightWave 3d is back and will be better than ever. Here is a good Interview with the new Owner : https://www.fxguide.com/fxfeatured/what-a-week-in-3d-renderman-lightwave-and-clarisse/?fbclid=IwAR2n7owZInNW_u9AL2G8nf0ZUswz1F_QGmYf7eqTkp2Sz65E1ur6m_qZM0E

yes, this are very good news. I like LightWave a lot and I still use it for Projects. Even the last Version LW 2020.3 works great and the functions and output can still hold up with other DCC. I think LightWave is in good hands now and I'm looking forward to the future of the new Lightwave Digital.

The buildings maybe are in the right position, but the buildings themselves are very basic. I can't see the benefit of that. The only thing it will work is a Previz of New York. but there is already an Unreal 5 New York rebuild on the Matrix Demo Level. maybe it is not accurate, but it looks way better.

Hi, well, it looks very interesting and the prize is fair. Also, it looks authentic, and the Instructor is a well-known Trainer, So from my point of view, it is a good Course.

Well, I think what you like to get is to export a pyro VDB cache as Alembic, which is also a kind of cache format. I think that doesn't work.

Hello, I like to share my new Cinema 4D Tutorial. How to use Cinema 4D Pyro with Chaos Corona

Yes, I know, but as a base, you can edit. On the other hand, I don't think you will find prebuilt Hair formations that work natively with C4D. I can recommend you look for CGI Hair tutorials and learn how to style Hair in Cinema 4D. C4D has all the tools to create Hairstyle. There was a tool shave and Haircut which was great at the time. You will find tutorials about that for sure.

Hi, this issue was here some versions ago, and now it seems that it is here again; when I close Cinema 4D 2023.1.3, it will stay as an active process in the task manager. I must force close the process first until I can open Cinema 4D again. Any one else have this issue?

Hi, in the Cinema 4D Content Browser, they are two base styles that you can use as a base and change to your need.

It looks like it works now. I don't see the white bar or ads anymore. Thanks

Well, maybe not better but Discord gets more popular also for CGI Community

I joined the Forum at the time it was C4DCafe, soo long time ago. Then I loose the focus for long time. Now I get a one year Silver Contributor to begome more active again. It is great to see the Forum is still here in a time where Discord it become a kind of new Forum Standard. The reason way I came back to Core4D is that here are good Artists and Names that I know for so long and from the first days and that is great. It would be very sad if the Forum will not moving on. On the other hand the Internet, Chat, and Discussion Places are moving so fast. And a Forum like that is from the "old days" and you need to bring time to really use it and check out the Forumposts. A lot of people don't have time anymore and everything has to be fast. About free and buy Membership. Well I know that a forum in this size like Core4D needs a lot of serverspace and security settings also a lot of work behind to keep it running and that is not free. Servercost for a professional hosted service has its costs. I would say that it is not the Membercosts that holds people back to join or force leave. it is more that Forums become more and more an old ship. I will be here again and will be more active as long as it runs. Stay connectet and create Art

here also a white big banner and I also have ads on the side even with a ads free subscription to the forum. I'm on Firefox and Windows 10 PS I scroll down and a big Ads of someting....

looks promesing and the prize is also not that hight, I would say Affordable arround 1800 Euro for the Mac Mini M2 Pro. Now how it works lets say with Cinema 4D and Redshift? do Redshift gets a boost with the GPU chip in this new Mac Mini? About the Mac Book Pro Cinema 4D rendering is 30% faster with what CPU rendering or GPU Redshift rendering?

Really good work. The Light and Light flickering shows the most that it is Unreal. I never be satisfied how Unreal handels light. In what Program you rigged the character and animals ? or are they pre rigged characters from a webside ?

Hi, I would not use shadow catcher for that. Just use a glas material to see through. Glas dosn't recognize shadows anyways

Hi, I am not sure if I understand it right, but they are the cogwheel. Hope that helps

EDIT: Correction. Here I did it with a Force field Force and a box Field

Hi, 1. Project Settings - Simulation Gravity 0 2. Two planes with good amount of Sigments 3: Attractor Force in between 4. aply the force into the cloth Tag Force feeld should doo the effect

Hi, you can open C4D files directly inside Unreal 5. make sure you turn on Save Polygon Cache and Animation Cache in the Project Settings - Cineware. Then save the file and open it via Datalink in Unreal. As far as I know only C4D Standard / Physical Materials are supportet. Here is the master about Cinema 4D to Unreal WINBUSH - YouTube

Hi, maybe you can try it with XPresso to drive the speed of the effectors color change. I will have a look on your file later today and try to find a help solution.

Thanks, yes I'm dooing good hope you aswell. Yes I started to have a look to Houdini some time ago and I like it. Also yes I will be back on the Forum more again.

Hi, during my first learning time with Houdini I created this short open ocean clip. I also written down some steps how I did it. 2022_Houdini open Ocean – CDA3DLive Visualizations & 3D Art
