The3DStudio.com reviews CINEMA 4D and BodyPaint 3D
CINEMA 4D and BodyPaint 3D are favourites at The3dStudio.com
Read what The3dStudio.com has to say about CINEMA 4D:
"
C4D is a very modular program so you can purchase a basic version of C4D
and then scale up as needed
So, there should be something for pretty much any budget out there."
"Users of previous versions of C4D should feel right at home with R9
"
"The interface is one of the best things going for C4D as it really lowers the learning curve, especially when compared to other 3D programs out there."
"Clothilde is the new cloth engine
and allows for some amazing cloth simulations."
"Character modelers and animators will love the Dress-O-Matic feature of Clothilde."
"We have always liked the animation system of C4D, and that has gotten even better with the new Motion Blending feature of MOCCA."
"C4D is a great program with a full feature set at a very low price."
"Bottom line, if those of us at The3dStudio.com were stranded on an island and could only bring one 3D application with us it would be CINEMA 4D."
Don´t miss what The3dStudio has to say about BodyPaint 3D:
"BodyPaint 3D R2 really is the Photoshop of the 3D world."
"The CINEMA 4D integration is flawless and is everything you would expect
"
"The stand alone application allows you to import and export into several 3D applications via plugins
3ds max, Maya, LightWave, and now even Softimage|XSI."
"One of the new features is the Setup Wizard
ItŐs a pretty slick feature that will let you worry about more important things like painting the model."
"The RayBrush technology allows you to see the actual rendered effect as you paint on your model
no matter how many times you see it in action you will be amazed."
"Projection Painting
ItŐs like taking a piece of glass and putting it over your model, then painting on the glass and having it projected onto your model so what you see is what you get."
"Filters
the ability to use Photoshop filters right in BodyPaint 3D R2
"
"MultiViews
You could have one view show a raytraced image while another shows a shaded view. When you paint on one view the others will update in real time."
"BodyPaint 3D R2 comes complete with all of the paint tools you could ever want."
"Bottom line, if you do any sort of texturing in your 3D application then you really need to try BodyPaint 3D R2."
