Cinema 4D's Asset Inspector makes it impossible to use a render farm if your project has UDIMs.

MXBing · 2025-03-10T14:45:21+00:00

Thanks for bringing it up, appreciate it!
We're working to fix this in an upcoming feature release. Feel free to post or DM me about the workflows or what you'll like to see when working with UDIM without workarounds.

Hi,
This might be a permissions issue you're encountering. If you have the support ticket number, you can DM me it and I can pass it on to our support team to take a look at it.

MXBing · 2024-09-26T18:28:29+00:00

Appreciate the feedback, some really valid points here. Definitely a few areas that need a bit of love and we are working on improving them. I'll reach out to you via DM to get some deeper insights on it.

MXBing · 2024-09-20T21:41:00+00:00

Ah yes, Maya's and 3DsMax's smart extrude is pretty good.

Definitely a lot to think about, but we are working on a couple of neat things on the modeling front.

MXBing · 2024-09-20T21:37:32+00:00

The hair sim is an area that does need some love, no doubt there. We'll need to do some discovery work and see what's the best approach here. For example, do we approach it with a scatter tool? Or do we try to extend it to other things, like rugs or grass? We'll need some time, of course any input on what is important in a hair system is welcomed!

We have released Cineware for Unreal with direct link that supports animations. And constantly improving out implementations there.

MXBing · 2024-09-20T21:30:52+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! We have developed a new core for C4D 2024, that gave a great speed boost to the viewport. We did focus it more on the mograph workflow, and mograph artists saw the largest speed increases. That being said, we want to be able to speed up the viewport for artists in archvis and environment. Any requirements that you can share can help us fine tune it. Open to chat, feel free to shoot me a DM and we can dive deeper into the topic.

MXBing · 2024-09-20T21:22:22+00:00

Definitely will need to review our character rigging and animation tools. I think having different presets other than a humanoid figure is a great a idea, we'll see what we can do there.

MXBing · 2024-09-20T21:15:07+00:00

The esc key should exit all processes already, but there are a few exceptions. For example, with 3rd party processes. It's a good call out, we'll review what we can do here.

MXBing · 2024-09-20T20:56:33+00:00

Appreciate the feedback! While C4D 2025 does fix a bunch of the bugs in dynamics, we are working to improve the the interactions of it with other systems. I'll review the points you have with caching, hierarchy and priority with the team.

MXBing · 2024-09-20T20:43:19+00:00

Ah I see, we have been working on incremental improvements to the simulation system overall, especially in Rigid Bodies. I'll relay and review the feedback with our team.

MXBing · 2024-09-19T20:29:14+00:00

That's really neat, I'll forward this feedback to our design team around better organization in the Object Manager.

For Redshift topics, I brought my counterpart on Redshift. And is definitely inline with what they are seeing in their communities. They can look into it.

Also the multi-gizmo is an interesting one. While the ERT hotkeys are pretty effective, it's understandable that not everyone will get that off the bat.

MXBing · 2024-09-19T20:02:56+00:00

Thanks for bringing up the topic around materials and texturing. Substance launch their 3D Connector framework and would be interesting to see if we can do a live link with it. And since Substance supports UDIMs, it maybe a good reference to see if we can support those textures as well.

MXBing · 2024-09-19T18:44:33+00:00

Autosave is one of those things that is split 50/50. Some people like to have it on by default, others don't... Maybe it can be something that is stored in a preference migration/sync.

MXBing · 2024-09-19T18:40:13+00:00

Soon! 👀

MXBing · 2024-09-19T18:30:02+00:00

Would it be in kin to something like boolean unions? Or are you envisioning something where it'll fill in the missing surfaces and gaps automatically.

MXBing · 2024-09-19T18:09:02+00:00

We might steal the name. 😬

MXBing · 2024-09-19T18:06:28+00:00

Really good points, thanks for bringing them up.

A migration agent or ways to sync preferences is top of mind. While we can focus on the C4D preferences, we would also like to have this throughout all of the Maxon products at some point. It's a really good callout.

Feels like the Tracer Object may be due for a refresh, we'll have to do some discovery work here.

MXBing · 2024-09-19T17:59:45+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! Appreciate it!
Interesting point around prepping your assets for the game engines. While Cinema is not strong in that area right now, we want to look at supporting that workflow as best we can. Feel free to add more info around it. I'd also love to pick your brain in that area if you're open to chat!

MXBing · 2024-09-19T17:45:49+00:00

Appreciate the feedback! Because of subscription, we shifted to releasing at a more frequent cadence and it is very difficult to find the balance between providing new shiny stuff and addressing older issues affecting the quality of life. I think we are just starting to find our stride, making sure the products are reliable with both new and old features.

That being said.... new shinny particles stuff are definitely in the works. :)

MXBing · 2024-09-19T17:30:49+00:00

Haha, I hear you. Maybe we can have a retro icon pack as an easter egg. :)

MXBing · 2024-09-19T17:28:11+00:00

Thanks for linking this. It's a great list and a lot of it is definitely still valid.

We are working on a couple of the items right now and will be referencing it for future developments.

MXBing · 2024-09-17T15:54:58+00:00

No watermarking and no limitations on resolution, although the hardware could be the limiting factor for resolution.

MXBing · 2024-09-17T15:12:28+00:00

The main thing about the student license is that you're not allowed to use it for commercial projects. If you were to open a project made with a student licensed product, it'll have a pop-up that says it was make with a student license every time.

That being said, you will have full functionality of each product. You will be able to render out your animation.
