Super informative. Thank you so much for taking the time to showcase all the news.

Thanks for spending the time to share!! Great video and I learned a lot.

thanks Chris! Great runthrough and some really exciting new stuff to play with!

Great overview, thanks!

Brilliant as always man. Nice overview!

I nearly cried when I saw the Normal Editing manager. I've desperately needed this in my workflow

Thanks maaaaan! I'm currently taking in consideration the certification so your videos are just pure gold!

Thanks for the effort in showing us the highlights of this new version.

thank you so much for such a detailed analysis!)

Great stuff as always, Chris!

Great overview Chris!

great video

Legend great as always keep it on 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

amazing overview as always

I don't think it was mentioned but in the Rigid Body tag, go to the Dynamics tab and if you enable Custom Initial Velocity, there's a parameter for Shoot At. This can save you about 30 attempts at trying to "throw" something at a specific spot in your scene - like throwing a hat on a hat rack like I was trying to do last years.

I love seeing the new weighted normal stuff. It is not just a CAD thing where that gets handy. It is a absolut must have if you are working on game assets today. It makes baking mesh informations from high to low polymeshes so much easier. I used a plug-in for that the last years that was only running on R23 and was so finicky to get the right results. Having that one click solution now makes me soooo happy! ❤

Love your work, brother!!! X

Thank you very much!

Thanks for share

Thanks Buddy!

i was waiting for your detail upgrade video

I've watched quite a few of these "new features" videos for C4D 2024, and you're the first one to dive into topics that address some of my most significant issues with C4D. I am The 1%. I'm also in the process of Switching from MODO to Cinema 4D to streamline our rendering workflow nat work, but I still find myself returning to MODO for tasks like modeling, UV mapping, and geometry editing. The way the normals tag has been implemented in this update is impressive. It's something I've frequently had to resort to MODO for, especially when dealing with a lot of CAD models. I believe this tool in C4D is even better, and I anticipate using it regularly. While MODO has exceptional selection tools that are hard to rival, Maxon has done a great job with their new selection tool in this update. Thank you for creating this informative video!

You can use the normal editing greatly for foliage to make the lighting on leaves point outwards, making foliage look way better or do other advanced tricks.

Hey CS! Couldn't the new normals update be used to align/manipulate (a) clones' orientation when distributed on an object using 'surface' mode - I'm kinda assuming c4d uses an objects normals to align stuff this way when using this mode in a cloner? - Thanks for the breakdowns :)

Pattern selection is the shit. Also been playing with pyro for a couple of hours and it’s much faster and more stable.

I don't work with Cad, but @20:37 I feel like when you went below the reflective sphere, it looked like a wormhole effect. (tiny and pinched)

At 1:10:16 you're wondering about Geometry Accuracy, seems to be its the count of how many shapes it divides in. at 8 i saw 8 colored shapes, and at 20 you see 20 different colored shapes

Im not sure but it was me who wrote a letter to Maxon suggestions requesting the pattern selection tool three month ago

Voronoi Fracture + sticky rigid body = finally accurate, breaking stone or concrete or terrain or ground or whatever?

I'd love to hear more about the VAMP. I'm not quite sure how to use it, but I was wondering if we can transfer high details from a model to a low mesh. Just like Maya transfer attributes manager?

Ok Maxon. make me groan with new stuff I have to learn.

is using nodes for cloning less heavy when working faster in viewport, than the cloner or matrix. is it just another way to do things or is it more efficient?

In previous versions, when we did baking, the keys we set for "linear velocity threshold" didn't work. Has this been fixed now?

Anyone managed to find a fix/workaround for the gaps left by using Connector tag? Problem is shown in this video at 1h 21min

Do you know of any reason That would cause Vamp to not work at all on some objects? I tried it on a Marvlous Designer mesh and Zremeshed version and it work. Tried it on another piece and it didn't work. Createa a new scene and move it over didn't work. Did a test with a cube and it worked. Im not sure what the issue could be. Thoght it was a UV tile issue but even after moving everything to the 1st tile it didn't work.

so useful!!! thank you so much

I wish there was a menu in the layout with capsules, like a folded palette. They are too hidden away in the asset browser so of course noone knows about them but they're so super useful. They're definitely not in the right place where they are now. Also mad props to you for the capsules you made, I love using them.

@scenenodestips

You can dock icons for any capsule (including models/materials) in your UI. Just find/select the capsules you like in the Assets browser, then hold down Shift, and drag them onto the palette of your choosing. They'll show up as an icon group. If you like the results, you can save your layout as your startup layout.

You should just customize your interface and save as a startup layout. Many tutorials online. I think chris even has done a few showing how to customize your interface for the specific workflow you're needing. The interface is 100% customizbale with the ability to move and group almost every tool to be how you'd like. > Command manager > customize palettes > search tools or capsule by name and drag the icons onto a new palette.

@@scenenodestips It's true. And that is a good solution to current state. But the OP's point is proven by the need to reconfigure the layout. If you should reconfigure the layout, then Maxon should do that in the first place, no? His point about "no one knows about it because it is hidden" isn't fixed by individuals reconfiguring layouts. Just fixes it for him.

Hey hey. I’m still rocking my 2 1080ti cards as well. Looking to update to a 4090 but it won’t fit my current case.

Viewport improvements looks good. But in this scene it's still not much poly here 4:30. Need to try in very heavy scene.

Do we get particle advection for pyro?

Hello, I tested the new rigid body and found that it does not work with scaling. For example, if you have two rigid bodies and you scale them to touch them, they will not react correctly

I appreciate you going through the nodes and capsules. Man, I hate those things so much. It's bad enough having to use them for Redshift, but having to do it to build models now too makes me want to throw up. I get it, its flexible and efficient and all that. It's just the actual process of connecting nodes instead of actually getting to push and pull polys myself. It's one step further away from being an artist, one step closer to doing excel spreadsheet kind of mind-numbing, soul-crushing work. Is what it is, and I know it's here to stay, but I'm just going to go cry now, lol.

The new Vamp is a game changer !!!!!!!

I think it's a shame not being able to have access to your wonderful tools with just a C4D and Redshift subscription. Makes no sense when the tools are primarily for C4D and Redshift materials, as it's nothing to do with red Giant, Zbush etc.. 😥

please create function for projection deformer that include function of intersection meshes. Maybe some separate tool or plugin

Capsules please!

is rigging still single core. Have they enabled the new node for this yet?

So many issues with the asset browser in 2023. so bad i have to turn off all the databases on every file i open. I also don't understand why my cinema says "rendering exchange" seemingly infinitely.

About the normals that would be nice to be able to project normals from a sphere to a more complex objects, like a tree. Very useful for toon shading. Maya and Blender can do that in 2 clicks so I was hoping the new normal editors would allow that but so far no success. Thank you for the fast and complete video !

You can, he shows it off in the video as well at around 22:12 You can drop ANY object into the fields window. Just make sure to up the radius on the object settings of the object you add into the fields window. Also set the mode to surface instead of points. that way it takes the normals from the polygon surfaces instead of using the points of the mesh. Don't forget to use the freeze to soften the edges a bit if needed.

If the new viewport is faster because it's running on the GPU more, do you predict this may impact stability or performance of third party GPU render engines (e.g octane) on single gpu workstations if you're the type of person to leave the live viewer running in progressive' rendering while you work

In the redshift discord they did a comparison to how much Vram the new viewport takes and it's significantly less. So it should be a positive change for redshift users.

YAWNS- so you know they haven't done much when the main feature you're highlighting is speed. In my experience it's the human at the other end that is the speed problem. You can make rendering as quick as you like but if the human doesn't know how to use the software to its optimal then its makes little difference. I have also noticed majority of C4D users have little idea about modelling complex models or characters from scratch. Hence most tutorials I see have lots of spheres and basic shapes.

I also want to do 4d cinema animation pls talk me where to learn, your reply will help me a lot, I am finding a lot where to learn.

still not water simulation...come on everybody has it now... we need it too guys... I even used Phoenix FD with maya and 3Ds max back 2009.

Am I the only one who feels like Maxon now entered the "minimum effort"-state we already know from other subscription software devs?

Following Houdini would not be a problem the important thing is that they do not make c4d for scientists as for houdini.

I love cd4 but that monthly subscription is bs. At least if you going to pay a monthly fee, then it should be wjth the option to by (own). I know this is not anything to do with the video but excuse me. Great video and thanks for sharing.

Looks more and more like Softimage did.. RIP (that was my tool before I had to switch.. to C4D)… anyway very nice additions for procedural motion designs.. which start to really compete with Houdini.

Can c4d update the engraving and built-in body paint 3d😂

Cinema 4D is awesome and I love this update but snapping tool still sucking

This guy scares me AF!!

Man I started my 3d journey in C4D a few years ago, but switched to Blender after a while and haven't touched C4D in some time. Always had the idea Blender was inferior, but more economical option, but with what I know now, I can definitely say I am sticking with Blender. C4D was always a little ahead, but with Blender getting geometry nodes, sim nodes, new UV packing engine, new UI, Asset Browser etc, I am not sure if Blender is now ahead, but mograph has a serious competitor with Blender's geo-system. If C4D were free, I'd have to consider it more deeply, but as it is, Blender takes the win in my book. And I can't wait to see what the next major update, Blender 4.0 will look like. Cycles getting a big update, 'Eevee-Next', Sculpting updates, huge updates to rigging and animation, grease pencil is getting its third major rewrite, Geo system getting a bunch of new nodes etc.

The CPU version of redshift comes with cinema since a few releases ago. You can use it without an additional redshift subscription. It's also been optimized for the CPU more since last version. So if you have Cinema 4D 2024 you get redshift for free with it. If you want to use Redshift GPU you will need to get a paid license though.
