  1. Hi - I dont know if it addresses your specific question. But Nikolaus Schatz just posted a tutorial on blinking xmas lights here:
  2. I also work frequently between machines. A minor quibble - but something that annoys me every day - is the need to clunkily quit and reopen cinema after re-assigning the licence. I would prefer a seamless operation in the initial startup of cinema. I realise that it wasn't striktly kosher... But I also liked that fact that I could render on one machine and work on the other if I disconnected them from the same network in old versions.
  3. I have done similar work to you in the past. There is a steady stream (AFAIK) of freelance 3D visualiser work in London design agencies. Its one of the few areas outside motion graphic where C4D is the industry standard. If you already have suffiecient skills/work samples, then I'd just try and freelance. There no guarantees, but you can always freelance Artwork to top up your earnings if there's not enough 3D work some months month. VFX is a different industry completely and I'm not sure it'll be particularily easy to transfer to TBH. R
  4. So as the original post stated. Functionality is being removed for perpetual owners in a push to get subscriber money. The End.
  5. For the next few months yes. Then after that. No. As per the original post, I am concerned about not being able to re-access some scripts/addons in CV Tools that I consoider essential and should be part of the package. I'm not I that bothered about accessing the tutorials etc.
  6. I asked MAXON about this last week. Their answer is below. Basically Cineversity access is Subscruption only after the end of the year (as the MSA doesn't exist it cant be renewed). Shame. "Since Cineversity is tied to the MSA and MAXON's Cinema 4D Subscriptions, your Cineversity expired on the same date. However, due to the Covid situation, MAXON has decided to give Cineversity subscriptions to all users of Cinema 4D license holders until the end of the year."
  7. Indeed. Blocking access to Cineversity for people with a valid licence is absolutely ridiculous. Taking simple functionally away from people will drive them to other DCCs, not subscriptions. Very sad

    Machine Specs

    For now I'd get the top end i7 Imac- and (DIY) max out the RAM to 64GB. For me that's a pleasant working experience... And when there's a need for heavy rendering, just send it to a renderfarm from within the app (Rebus Ranch etc). Better than a kludge PC solution for me. Although maybe the new mac pro is on the horizon (isn't it always)
  9. Hartelijk bedankt meneer Snake. And MikeA too - although I don't think my casual budget will stretch to a weeks personal training TBH :). Any more recco's appreciated.
  10. After many years basically being a C4D stills guy, I'd really like to start adding After Effects to my workflow for more for 2D animations. Can anyone recommend any good paid training for a beginner? In term of tone-of-voice I really rated 3D Fluff and MILG 11 C4D training. Whet are the AE equivalents? Thanks in advance!
  11. Is it imported from CAD? I expect there is problem with the normal tags. Try deleting them and see if adjusting some parameters in the phong tag will help
  12. CAD import could be very useful actually. It's all going to depend on quality of meshing which is as yet unknown. I'm assuming that this is for MAC AND PC?
  13. Really helpful, thanks. If anyone wants to chime in with ease of use/reliability reviews too, it would be wonderful!
  14. i started off thinking i didn’t need mograph, but quickly found out that its cloner tools are really essential. definitely for arch viz work. so i would not advise Prime. Also, i would consider Corona instead of V ray. And that is free while it’s still in beta!

    MSA

    I'm often curious about this sort of thread. No-one likes paying for what they don't need. But if you're earning money from it, you can probably expense quite a bit of the cost, no? That's certainly why I keep up to date. If it's just a hobby, then it's a very expensive one and i would stay at the bare minimum version. Or more likely switch to blender.
  16. Fingers crossed for this. Forgetting the CPU/GPU wars, Corona simply produces the some of the most exquisite images around. Perhaps the release will even be moved forward if there's more hands working on it.
