Hi all,
Hi Tyron,

As our c4d plugin made a good step in the right direction, i wonder if we get a
integrated mxm material (in the c4d material manager) like it is in 3dmax and maya.

this would be very very helpfull as an additional workflow for the c4d material. i always use mxms not c4d materials because mxm is just far superior.

i really like the way maxwell gets connected to max and maya, and i do hope that we c4d users arent left behind. the tag system has its pros and cons, but i think for professional-use it cannot fully replace a real mxm material, that can be managed by the cinema tools like any other material(c4d, FR, Vray,etc).

i wish a good start for the new Year to all Users and to the NL team!
Best&cheers
Stefan

(p.s.: and please support relative paths for bitmap textures and/or a collect for output feature like in studio:-)

Yes, great idea. More integration please.

Once i figured out the new plugin, even i have to admit that it´s a step forward in some ways, especially the support for C4D materials.
Still needs a fix for the inaccurate alpha renders, and the child translation of materials within groups doesn´t work that well, but let´s hope that´s going to be dealt with "soon".

Have a great New Year everyone.

I third this request! Well put Stefan.

As an aside, any official word that the plugin will continue to be developed over the SHORT term? It seems to me NL still has quite a load on their plates with all the other plugins and 1.2 early next year; except for maya and max (read as jealousy). My fear is that it will be another year before the C4D plug gets another look.
