Show Notes:
Maxon Cinema 4D S22Arnold and Otoy collaborationArnold GPU on their RNDR serviceOtoy to support Arnold's standard surfaceOur Thoughts on the New C4D S22 Features:
Automatic UV's
Chad
super easy to use, very convenientnot bad but no real control over distortion settingsI like the overlap mirrored geo, nice way to save spacecant reset to default settingsShawn
3 Impressive out of the box automatic solutions licenced from Quel Solaar.Easy to use!New UV Workflow
Chad
Great start, way better layoutgood enough for mostslightly confusing workflowcouple of quirksdecent auto packing and auto unwrapneeds a relax brushno UDIM supportoverlap mirrored geo is niceno ability to right click and reset your settings to defaulttad slow on complex meshesShawn
Wonderful new UV layoutLove all of the view modes (Show tiled texture) for exampleWould love to see a nice grid in UI beyond 0-1 UV space.Need Alignment tools (Snapping does not seem to work)Modeling Improvements
Chad
Steps in the right direction, but a long ways to go to compare to Maya + Maxbridge is ok, but still far behind what other DCCs are doinguntriangulate works wellShawn
Love the new mirror selection! HugeVertex normal via the phong tag is greatUntriangulate Command is much improvedClose Polygon Hole function is much betterFix non-manifold geometries command very welcomeNodal Material Export to FBX
Chad
not really anything here that interests meShawn
Seems great for those who still use Physical and Standard RenderersGoZ Bridge
Chad
I don't use Zbrush but this seems usefulShawn
Works great! Was not possible in R21 officially and now supports Polygroups!Viewport Enhancements
Chad
viewport enhancements is a step in the right direction but doesn't work with redshift. Was hoping it would be closer to what Maya and Blender have.viewport filters are a great quality of life feature. BUT the individual presets are not found in the customize commands options and cannot be turned into a button or shortcut. However, the preset selector can be docked in the UI, but this is not ideal.would be easy to set up for play blastsShawn
Viewport filter icons ruleSetting up Viewport filter shortcuts DON'T work as expectedLove the new viewport resolution optionInstances now show full geometryHair now looks amazing and much closer to final rendergLTF Support (Export Only)
Chad
I don't do AR, but this seems very useful to those that doShawn
Another great exchange format.Great for WebGL needsIs a one-size fits all file format (SketchFab)
