Let me reinforce what was already said. MAXON is not for sale. Nemetschek, as a parent company is certainly not stupid to sell something that is growing on yearly basis, it is simply not good business. If you have the time, do some research and you can find all the numbers since it is all publicly available information. Adobe is big company and if they want to build an DCC 3D app they can do it on their own :)

I have no personal experience but those models look quite detailed and professional :)

Unfortunately we lost but Silver medal is great result - I watched the game too although I am not really a football fan :) If Nigel opts to do a R20 review he is always welcome to do so. Siggraph is getting closer, not sure if some official info will be released, but I hope so!

There were already hints in blog post and on forums (including Cafe) that R20 will be very interesting release. Release is not far away and Siggraph is closing in. Personally, I am very excited :)

Thanks, it is quite useful :)

I am pretty sure that most of people will have less and less to ask for ;) Let's first wait for R20 and for him to settle in. Taking over whole company is surely extremely challenging by itself, so it will take David some time to join the talks here but he expressed the wish to do so and is not a stranger to forums. I am also highly confident that Cafe members will appreciate a "direct line" to CEO because this is quite rare practice for high ranking officials (in any company) and that we will stay polite and respectful as always. Good times ahead!

I would certainly do a longer post if I weren't on cellphone, but in short :) - MAXON is not for sale - C4D will not be subscription only @3D-Pangel You have put good effort in your post, trust me, MAXON is very careful, strategic and considerate. There will be absolutely no hasty decisions.

btw David (new CEO) just told me that he is more than willing to participate on Cafe, however given that he has to settle into his new position that will probably happen with some delay :) I would also like to remind members that a lot off MAXON staff are members on Cafe, but they tend to keep low profile due to current company policy.

There are no changes to MAXON business model that I am aware off. I think it is safe to assume that company will keep it's competitive strengths in that regard. As far as R20 is concerned, I am simply excited since release date is getting closer and a lot of hard work went into it :)

this is simply a good thing :) After so many years, which is practically a persons lifetime, current people in charge simply understood that there is time for them to step down. New CEO is very capable individual with long experience in industry. As far as the Adobe software comment goes, I am simply not qualified enough to judge it so I will refrain from commenting. One thing that is sure is that MAXON is smaller company which can certainly move faster than Adobe in it's realm. Btw to all folks that dropped me pm: Adobe did NOT buy MAXON. New ceo left Adobe. Also, Nemetschek was always largest stakeholdwer in MAXON Good times ahead, brace yourself for R20 ;)

That is certainly true and it plays even greater role today ;)

Easier with some Xpresso, here is a quickie Of course, you can do it with Python and takes but I never tried it... Render_quick.c4d

That was funny

Very nice, concept looks good!

Very nice Vozzz, short and sweet :)

I thought for a moment this was rendered :)

Very nice guys!

Maybe that is too complex for what you need? Seems to be that you want to show a model, or show reference? It would be easier to do it with takes or Xref's...

Cool :) Let me guess, you work on TV station?

So you want a single control to offset all keyframed animation under a null with single slider?

Congrats, nice to see you got exposure :)

Very nice! Would be even better if some SSS is applied to skin :)

It is difficult to visualize your issue since we don't know how you have set things up. Can you share a scene file and describe exactly what you are after?

It stands for technical development or technical directing. Basically it is all about making rigs, setups and solving problems one will encounter in production :)

Very nice work!
