lotsofpixels recently released fusionThing, a Cnema 4D plugin that parametrically creates and welds geometry based on simple meshes.

Update 16.8.05: Massive render rendered at 2K, downsampled to 1K, no further postpro except captions:

Hehe, actually this is really more stress testing and get my working procedures with Cinemaxwell up and running than "real" scenebuilding... I completely agree that a more elaborate lighting would improve the picts quite a bit :-)

It turns out that as a rule of thumb about 2.5-5 MTris works fine with my 2.5 GB RAM and other big applications running side by side.

Well, actually, this is only one very specific use of it, you can do a lot of quite different things with it.

Excellent Kabe!

I love fusionThing too!

Kabe can you post a wire of your component pieces for image #1- I love the delicate lacing!

I am posting a link on the cgsociety thread to your work here!

Kabe please, put an emitter inside of these, and put it in some smaller room where we can see the shadows. Or put 3 smaller emitter inside, each with a different color. Would be really nice to see how the colors blend. Would also be a nice test for other engines actually....

very very cool work :wink: ...One silly question, can the geometry be exported from cd4? obj? 3ds? (sorry not too familiar with c4d... :) )
