nice,

any info or eta on the native particle support/ realflow plugin particles rendering through cinema 4d ?

cheers

[JDHill]

No, not yet. May I ask for your opinion on how you would envision these (they are two separate things) working inside of Cinema?

[Aniki]

Ah, ok so I can stop looking for it

thanks, JD.

Well, as I understood it, loading Particle bins via the RealFlow Particle Importer converts these into thinking particles internally anyways, right ?

else maybe teaming up with Peter Horvath on this issue makes more sense ?

cheers

It's not in the downloads portion of the portal yet. Am I missing something?

Can't wait to start playing with the hair.

[JDHill]

It is there for me, so perhaps try refreshing your browser, clearing cookies, etc.

[dyarza]

Trying again.

Thanks.

[dyarza]

Success, thanks.

Hi all,

I noticed that the intensity multiplier for IES is missing from the Material Editor, and would be great to have the lights preset like in the MXED.

Cheers
JC

[JDHill]

Thanks JC, I missed that one.

[Aniki]

any news/progress on the particle and rf mesh etc extension integration in the plugin yet ?

[JDHill]

No, not much news on those yet.

[Aniki]

Would be great to able to render realflow meshes with their motionblur info properly converted into maxwell;)

When I check the Pack and option, Cinema don´t pack the referenced .mxm

Cinema R12 Mac Os 10.6 and Maxwell 2.6

Thanks.

Question: why use a referenced MXM, if you want to copy it locally with the MXS? It seems to me like that would defeat the purpose.
