CINEMA 4D v10 Exciting rendering capabilities let designers create like film animators

摘要

It might strike some people as odd that a product called CINEMA 4D should be reviewed in a technical publication. Wouldn't it be better in some kind of entertainment newsletter? No. Cadalyst is the perfect place to look at this software. Why? Because of the ever-increasing use of engineering 3D data in traditionally non-engineering disciplines. But that's not all! Engineering functions benefit greatly from non-engineering software (just try to get along without Word or PowerPoint if you don't believe me). You need to make animations of your new product going through its motions. You need to show a prospective client what your new design will look like. You need to put together an assembly manual. You can do these and all sorts of other things with this software. Let's take a look. CINEMA 4D v10 is made by MAXON. It's intended to be a tool for the pipeline. As such, integration is vital, and CINEMA 4D v10 works well with most software packages. It is platform independent. Only 5% of the program is OS dependent, so it's very stable. It also takes advantage of multiprocessors, meaning that it's fast and can handle very large files. CINEMA 4D v10 is easy to learn and use, which is important because unless you work in the entertainment business or your company has you dedicated to this sort of thing, you won't be using it every day. Most high-end 3D modeling systems make a lot of noise but aren't really friendly to casual users.
