UK 3D World Magazine Reviews CINEMA 4D R11 - 8 out of 10 Points

"With improved GI, non-linear animation, matte painting and Collada support, MAXON responds to demand with a solid upgrade for all users", says Nigel Doyle.

"The [GI] Engine has been rewritten from scratch for better-quality renders."

"Glass renders are now much more accurate, with a new absorption colour and a Distance setting in the Transparency channel."

"Included in all CINEMA 4D editions, BodyPaint 3D sees some useful improvements to its paint tools. These include support for Photoshop brushes..."

"For larger studios looking to integrate CINEMA 4D into pipelines, Advanced Render's CineMan converts CINEMA 4D scenes (including lights and materials) into RIB files, enabling you to render scenes using any RenderMan-compliant renderer, including AIR and 3Delight."

"The system also now includes the Projection Man projection-camera mapping system, originally developed for Sony Pictures Imageworks and used in movies such as Open Season and Beowulf."
