REISS STUDIO Releases BodyStudio 2.7
Software Allows Poser 5 Content to be Incorporated with CINEMA 4D
SANTA CRUZ, Calif.&emdash;February 2, 2005--Reiss Studio, in cooperation with Curious Labs, the publisher of Poser, has developed and released BodyStudio 2.5 for Windows. BodyStudio seamlessly integrates Poser 3D character animation technology into MAXON CINEMA 4D. This innovative plug-in software allows Poser users to easily render and playback Poser animations directly inside of CINEMA 4D.
Artists that work with 3D software will notice the many improvements that have been made from the original version of the popular Pro Pack plug-in for CINEMA 4D. Reiss Studio is a leading developer of 3D plug-ins for Poser translation software.
Dirk Beichert of MAXON said, "We're thrilled to see an easy solution for CINEMA 4D users to integrate Poser characters in their work. Countless MAXON customers have asked for a connection with Poser."
Josh Reiss, CEO of Reiss Studio said, "We are very excited to be bringing the highly successful BodyStudio technology to CINEMA 4D. It used to take teams of people to create characters, but now the artist can work with pre-built and pre-rigged characters and easily drop them into their CINEMA 4D scene and start rendering."
Some of the new features of BodyStudio 2.5 are:
- Support for CINEMA 4D R7, R8, R8.5, and R9.
- Playback of Poser Animations from within CINEMA 4D. The geometry will animate and playback in CINEMA 4D.
- Maintains link to Poser files- After adjusting shaders or making additional modifiers in CINEMA 4D, the artist can go back into Poser to change the figures position, the changes automatically update in CINEMA 4D.
- Playback of Poser 5 dynamic hair
Poser 5 adds the ability to create dynamic hair. With BodyStudio, the dynamic hair will playback in CINEMA 4D.
- Playback of Poser 5 dynamic cloth
Poser 5 adds the ability to create dynamic cloth. With BodyStudio the dynamic cloth will playback in CINEMA 4D.
-Reload Poser files from within CINEMA 4D
Instead of reloading your entire CINEMA 4D scene, you can just load the updated changes from Poser.
- Shader Translation
BodyStudio translates your Poser shaders to CINEMA 4D Shading Networks, and assigns them to the correct polygons on your characters. For easy transition, all of the base Poser shading parameters are translated into CINEMA 4D Shaders.
Access to the largest source of pre-built 3D characters and props in the world.
For a limited time, BodyStudio is available at the introductory price of $179.00, and can be purchased at www.curiouslabs.com/go/bodystudioc4d and www.reiss-studio.com as an electronic download.
