CINEMA 4D R10.5 Review In Post Magazine

TØR JØHÅNSEN test drives new features and loves the ride!

"With their recent whopper of an upgrade, Release10.5 (which could have easily been a full, new Version 11 release), CINEMA 4D has a ton of improvements…"

"MAXON seems to be picking up a bigger piece of the 3D pie these days. I'm not sure if there's just more work to go around or IF folks are migrating over? One clear advantage I see is the cross-platform nature of C4D…"

"Because none of us works in a vacuum, C4D includes support for a host of industry-standard file formats… Support for vector formats extends to Illustrator import and Flash and EPS export. Assets can be exchanged with other 3D apps in DXF, 3DS, OBJ and other formats, and entire scenes can be imported using NewTek LightWave 3D and FBX formats."

"I've actually found that C4D makes a perfect partner with the Adobe Suite of apps. In fact, I don't think anyone integrates better than MAXON - for motion design studios that flirt with both 2D and 3D, this is the only way to go. The Adobe-MAXON combo has proven to be such a success, they're actually "on tour" together this spring, hitting cities from Vancouver to New York.
CINEMA 4D R.10.5 adds cool new features and numerous improvements to help your workflow, from its conception to the screen."

"It's easy to create basic animation in CINEMA 4D and the upgrade makes it easier than ever to fine-tune timing and create motion magic."

"Relative Keys in R.10.5 allow you to easily adjust the length of a motion sequence without changing the basic timing. This makes it simple to speed up an animation sequence without affecting its overall timing. This is similar to a great feature I use all the time in After Effects to quickly re-time segments."

"In addition to the major changes, many smaller changes have been made to the timeline to help improve your workflow. "

"CINEMA 4D's Heads-Up Display has proven to be an outstanding workflow aid. This powerful tool has been greatly enhanced in R.10.5 to make working on complex projects easier than ever before. "

"R.10.5 introduces a revolutionary way of lighting your 3D scenes. With the new lighting tool you don't arrange lights within the scene. Instead, you arrange the lighting itself. Quite a time saver."
