nice,

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

cheers

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

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

Aniki

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

Can't wait to start playing with the hair.

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

Trying again.

Thanks.

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

Thanks JC, I missed that one.

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

No, not much news on those yet.

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.
