 New updates enhance workflow in CINEMA 4D and BodyPaint 3D Posted by: amigo

Date: Tue Sep 09 2003
September 9, 2003 - MAXON's customers are used to benefiting from continual development in free updates. Now CINEMA 4D and BodyPaint 3D customers alike can appreciate the new functionality provided in MAXON's free incremental upgrades: CINEMA 4D Release 8.2 and the module BodyPaint 3D Release 1.1.
MAXON CINEMA 4D R8.2
More than two dozen interface and workflow improvements can be found in this latest upgrade for users of CINEMA 4D R8.
The material manager presents the greatest advances. More efficient organisation of complex projects is possible by consolidating materials into groups. Related materials commonly used throughout a scene are available at the push of a button. Even more screen real-estate can be saved by choosing from several display modes, such as icon lists or name lists or both.
To fit every user's workflow needs on a single machine, the menus and layouts can be recorded as customized sets and switched, whenever necessary.
To further the workflow enhancements, up to five mouse buttons including the middle mouse button can be assigned to functions. Along with the ability to switch the orbit, these features will make it even easier for users of other 3D applications to get used to CINEMA 4D.
These and several other smaller but equally stunning enhancements to the workflow secure MAXON CINEMA 4D's place among the top 3D applications.
More details on other improvements, including enhancements to the Thinking Particles module, a more flexible color chooser and much more, can be found on the products page.
Module BodyPaint 3D R1.1
All MAXON customers who have recently taken advantage of the BodyPaint 3D summer special, but are not quite ready to update to Release 2 of this amazing 3D painting application, receive an extra bonus: a free update to the older module BodyPaint 3D Release 1.
Apart from ensuring the compatibility with CINEMA 4D R8.2 and maintaining its available new functions, BodyPaint 3D R1.1 also includes a number of its own workflow improvements. An efficiently combined display of materials and layers, asynchronous dialogs for instant feedback as well as new possibilities among the UV-sets are offered at no additional cost.
The display within the editor has also been sped up with the use of OpenGL(TM) while orbiting around the model. During painting the editor automatically switches back to the highest quality software shading available.
