"CINEMA 4D R10.5 Comfortably Retains Its 3D Crown," Says PCPro
"What really makes this program stand out from its rivals is its comparative ease of use."
If you are looking to add a powerful 3D program to your graphics arsenal, then CINEMA 4D cannot be beaten for ease of use, claims PCPro in its March 2008 issue.
"What really makes this program stand out from its rivals is its comparative ease of use," says the UK's leading magazine for IT professionals, IT managers and power users.
PCPro singles out XRefs, the new lighting tool, and DWG import as some of the most exciting of the dozens of new features on offer in the 10.5 update - MAXON's biggest-ever dot five update.
"For many, the real stand-out feature will be the new Lighting tool... Traditionally it's a complex chore... Not any more. It actually makes tremendous sense to control your lighting directly through its effect, rather than indirectly through source parameters."
"The addition of comprehensive import support for the AutoCAD DWG standard (is) great for architects and technical designers."
"Another extraordinary new feature to find at this price is the ability to work with XRefs - objects that cross-reference other objects in a separate, but linked file. This is particularly useful in workgroups, since multiple users can work on component models while another works on the master scene and animation. It can also be useful for individual users, with XRefs acting like instance objects to ensure maximum consistency and efficiency."
PCPro sums up: "This is CINEMA 4D at its best - real innovation making 3D modelling simple. With impressive power, ease of use, innovation, value and extensibility, CINEMA 4D R10.5 comfortably retains its 3D crown."
