"Inspired by MoGraph's new MoDynamics and the excellent possibilities offered by CINEMA 4D's XPresso and C.O.F.F.E.E. for creating complex setups we created the film 'No Keyframes', which is based entirely on automated setups. Each scene represents a specific functionality, which in itself generates interesting effects. The film shows spheres as they travel through various environments, interacting with elements in these environments and causing different reactions in each of them. Contrary to the approach taken in classic keyframe animation it was important to us to create self-sustaining models whose behavior was controlled by the rules of physics, similar to a real-world physical environment. The results often surprised even us. This film includes a wide spectrum of CINEMA 4D features, which are combined to make the resulting effects even more complex and interesting."

"CINEMA 4D R11.5 serves up a wide array of impressive new features. The most notable of these is the new MoGraph dynamics engine [MoDynamics], which lets motion graphics professionals easily create spectacular images and animations. During the production of 'No Keyframes", however, we were impressed by another new - and at first glance quite inconspicuous - feature, namely the new Picture Viewer. With the new Picture Viewer, productivity can be increased greatly! I would say this is actually one of the most important new features since the version 4 for Amiga. The fact that animations can be checked during rendering, and the history list - which is created automatically in the Picture Viewer during shadow and light modification - speeds up the design process massively and is just plain fun to work with. The new Picture Viewer is the perfect tool for professionals and can even sometimes be used in place of external compositing applications. A large Picture Viewer fan club has already sprung up at AixSponza!"
