Excited for some ideas for the new Field Force for sure!

I like this release, bug fixes, stability fixes and improved modeling and UV tools. They are starting to address the biggest issues with C4D. Wish they could do more with this and add a Edit modifier similar Max editable poly, that would bring a huge amount of people from the competing software.

Great Video Thank you! Question, Chris have you been able to advect particles or dynamic objects using a VDB using Field Force?

did they update the houdini engine? It's still stuck on Houdini 16

Any news on After Effects and C4D light? Is it being updated also anytime soon?

it's cool to see maxon finally grabbed the way houdini works with all these major updates

Hey Chris! thanks for the DEMO! its amazing. can you please make a tutorial on aerodynamics with force fields. Thanks

Great update. By the way, you have lost weight and look more toned then older tutorial videos :)

I laughed out loud at 01:17:48 Thanks for taking the time to put all of this together!

Very underwhelming release. I love how everything Maxon are spending their time on with their long awaited annual updates, Insidyium have already implemented into XP...Field forces are just flow fields in XP...Meanwhile the fundamental features that make up a 3D package are being left to rot..UV Tools are garbage, bodypaint!? Xpresso!!!! (Xpresso is so powerful but seriously needs some love)...When the highlight for this whole release for me is being able to go beyond 0-100% on the align to spline tag...I can safely assume it's underwhelming to say the least. Another note: Spending so much time implementing Prorender to then acquire Redshift!? That's like signing a deal to stock Bobs coffee then acquiring Starbucks...

So just to get this clear - no plugins from R20 will work in R21? We will be dependant on the thirdparty devs to release new compatible versions (perhaps for some upgrade fee)? Just like with e.g. DEM Earth and xParticles last year when upgrading to R20?

Hello, Iam have issues once Iam done tracking the scene and camera solve then Iam not able to select anything with my cursor. Cant select or use transform for move or scaling. Do you know what might be the issue? Thank You for any help :) and thanks for the nice tutorial.

Nothing for hair fur grooming? scene optimization? tree plants grass generator? Smoothing dynamic? Clothing? Lighting? Rendering? Water simulations? Fire smoke? More modelling tools like quad caps? Select to circle? Feathers for birds? UV optimization? Like the new tool though. Most important quad remesher??? All we have new text tool, really ?? And some new library, lol

Maxon still haven't given enough attention to the UV toolset. The ability to arbitrarily distort UV sections would be great if that was a common procedure while mapping out the UV layout but seriously, who ever needs something like that??? you need accuracy, efficiency, usability all with the confidence the program is taking care of the layout. This hasn't been addressed, so it makes more sense to subscribe to Rizom for their unparalleled software. UV mapping is a key aspect of all CGI.

How long do you think it will take Maxon to announce an indie / nc license now that Maya has one for a third of the price of C4D's new subscription, especially after the Maxon guy at Siggraph claimed "we're bring 3D to everyone" just to announce a still ridiculous price and then get embarrassed by Autodesk the day after as they actually bring their tools to everyone.

@Joseph Brandenburg Oh I agree, a free non commercial license would be bringing it to everyone, but with Maya's pricing I would say even working class people can now afford to buy it and do 3D stuff for a hobby, and they won't need to buy x-particles, a 3rd party renderer and uv'ing tools on top of the base price. They could even get Max or Houdini on top of Maya and it would still be 33% less than C4D. I'd say that's about as good as it's gonna get with a for profit company. Blender is slowing becoming more serious competition for these paid tools too, which could be why Autodesk are doing an Indie license now. And to clarify with the ridiculous price, I think the new price is great for people who can afford it, I'm saving money as a result, but in the context of the presentation where the guy outright stated it was wrong to charge so much, that they need to change like other industries have to bring 3D to everyone, just to then announce it still costs 3 grand or a $60/month subscription, it was just absurd. They didn't really bring 3D to anyone new.

I see a lot of negative comments. Well you see a lot positive comments when it comes to Blender.

Nothing

The problem of C4D was always the same, is the easiest sofware you can start to use and get decent results, but then it comes at a very high price, for example if you buy just one month it is near $100, while you can use photoshop for only 9.99 per month. this creates a problem in the maxon user baser because this program is really easy to use for example for high quality text in videos, small comercials etc.. etc.. but the price is a bit high, so a lot of people go to learn blender wich is much harder than C4D.
