Cinema 4d 11 tested ^ ^

So I downloaded the demo of the new version as you can here

I've been using version 9.1 of Cinema 4d for a long time...since then... they upgraded to 9.5---> 9.6--->10.0--->10.1--->10.5---11

There were a lot of interface changes and the like from 9.1 so its a little awkward for me to use as I have to get used to it.... BUT

The new NLA system is powerful! The layer system and motion clips will make what I do a lot easier...

If your making an animated feature film alone with this and like SMORT you will try as best you can to use the same rig for most all the characters...that way as your working you can save out the animations as motion clips as reuse them with all the other models as production moves along OR you could take a few weeks to create a motion library ahead of time ( Walk, run, jump, swing sword, crawl...etc) what ever motion you would be using a lot of....

Its like a making a poor man's mocap library by hand except its not mocap and yeh like you did it by hand haha

Since I didn't have this capability when I did WATS I would have to save a whole animated character and reuse it in a scene... so I had like a robot run cycle and I would have to load that exact model in the scene everytime I wanted to use that animation... it was kinda cumbersome...

Also Xrefs were added in version 10.5... something I plan to make use of to make my pipeline more flexible....SHIT my brain is getting overloaded with all this new cool stuff I need to sketch this out on paper and understand how I'm going to utilize it...

Comments

  1. Sorry for the late comment, but I was at Siggraph (the big enchilada graphics convention) and funny that you should bring up C4D 11 because I was at the luncheon Maxon gave for C4D and was drooling all over the place about the new features. The stacked animation feature should be ideal for you (I thought exactly that when they were doing the demo). I spoke with their CEO (Paul Babb) about you, too. Telling him about your new film and how you built a rig around C4D (mostly) and he remembered you.

    Wouldn't it be great if they sent you a copy as a promo for their product? You might consider contacting him if you have a mind to. Can give you email address. He's a pretty cool guy.

    Glad to see the work is prgressing well. Cheers!

What format should I render out of Cinema 4d with?

UPDATED 2_27_13!  RENDER USING EXR Lossy Zip16! Since I'm working on a new feature film that will generate over 1500 shots made up of image sequences I need to make sure I choose the right file format to render to lest my hard drives explode. What I need from my format is  at least 16bit, an alpha included and preferably small size. I rendered out a frame from my film tallied up all the file sizes here- their all different types of codecs listed from smallest file size to largest. The render includes an RGBA pass, Depth pass, and Material Luminance pass because thats what I always render out. 1.00mb 8bit-Photo Jpeg %100 1.27mb 8bit-PNG 4.65mb 16bit- EXR lossy ZIP16 5.75mb 8bit-PSD 6.23mb 16bit-EXR lossy PLZ 6.44mb 16bit-PNG 7.94mb 8bit-TIFF 8.50mb 16bit-EXR Lossy 24 9.05mb 16bit-EXR Lossy Run Length 14.6mb 8bit-TARGA 22.4mb 32bit-EXR ZIP16 24.6mb 32bit-EXR Zip1 25.6mb 32bit-EXR PLZ 29.3mb 16bit-TIFF 29.3mb 16bit-PSD 40.0mb 32bit-EXR Run Length 58.7mb 16

So a guy is trying to take credit for my film...

TLDR- Scroll down to THE THIEVERY My name is Mike- I make films under the name "M dot Strange" and I have done so for the past 10+ years- this is my story as a filmmaker culminating in a recent event wherein a "filmmaker" tried to take credit for my life's work Here's my imdb page with my film credits  My web site Here's a reel with stuff from my original films in which I wrote/created/designed/animated etc everything that you see- I can and have performed all aspects of animated film production on my films- thats sort of how I made a name for myself- by being a one man animated film studio Here's a presentation from 2014 with me discussing the production of my last film My first animated feature film "We Are The Strange" premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2007 Sundance archives link Article about the film Link to the film Film's site Because of the buzz that film generated I was given offers to sell the
