As i speculated R10 comes in a week now we wait for the ads/intros on the new website :)

[Continuumx]

Something is definitely amiss, the C4D logo has changed somewhat...hmmm...

[mnemoniq]

Maybe juste the update version to 9.7.63.0.1 :twisted:

[Continuumx]

Maybe juste the update version to 9.7.63.0.1 :twisted:

I am thinking this is much bigger than that. When has a "Be back soon" ever been posted in this manner. Its most likely a pre-christmas treat from Maxon!

[STRAT]

the special release of R10 on maxon's 10th anniversary on the 10th of the 10th?

[brammelo]

I find it hard to believe they would let us cook and simmer for 6 days in a row - because that's how many days it is between today and the 10th. Must be something else.

[Continuumx]

This is simply beautiful. Shall we dissect it to gain more clarity?

I'm figuring they are just transferring to a different host, considering new downloads have crawled to a halt most of the time :twisted:

- Open the pod bay doors, HAL.

[robotbob]

hmmmm - well i am wondering why you had to bring your site down just to put a new one up. Thats not really good web practice. so i guess you are trying to create a stir in the rumourmill. and thats not that hard to do round here.

[FR33K]

haha crazy 10 posts within 5 minutes R10 is killing all of us :D

I recon they will ditch the frames and present us with frame-less web site with ajax navigation :)

"Come back soon"... How soon damm you!! :scream: We'll end up using the bandwidth allowance constantly refreshing the page. :)

So Maxon finally set Jupiter on fire making it a twin sun for all to behold?

Drum Roll Please...

[LucentDreams]

maybe just a new website design with some pretty graphics ;)

wow I swear my nose looks longer in the reflection of my monitor

[ooo]

So it's world animal day today! Let's see what animal comes out of Maxon's dark dungeons. No monkey please!

[Joerg271]

Well coworkers of Maxon have probably some around the ears.
- preparation for the anniversary celebration
- publication of the Cinema R10, possible modules...
- renewal of the new web page

Ever it was not as exciting as now... :-D

Greeting Joerg

[JamesMK]

wow I swear my nose looks longer in the reflection of my monitor
I've had that too at times. Turned out the CRT front had somehow warped a bit and gone all concave. Probably due to an unusually strong high-pressure front or some other weather phenomenon.

[TaTaC]

I love Maxon..

[Rodrigo.Caravaca]

A little cibernetic bird told me days ago that you can forget about a new advanced render.... maybe its true...maybe not... who knows?

Lots of gossips are flowing around the net with the new V10....

[brammelo]

A little cibernetic bird told me days ago that you can forget about a new advanced render.

Friedrichsmorf 2006-10-10

HAXON Press release.

All good things must come to an end.
We are happy to announce the new Cinema R10 and license system.
We would like to thank the thousands of Cinema users over these past 20 years building up the Cinema standard.
As per 2006-10-10 we rule the world with our standard and would like to offer the future since now all pre R10 .c4d files will only render black and white and all animations will stop working.
This is only a natural step of progress and now you have the chance to make the ultimate upgrade and save -thousands- of dollars and euro.
Since all support for pre R10 is stopped in this natural progress we now offer the
UNLOCK license system.
For only Euro200 per .c4d file you can open it once more in the new R10 Reciever Module (Only 1500 Euro per cpu) and save it The R10 SAVIOR Module (Only 600 per cpu) and then continue your work in the the R10 PRETEN Module (Only 500 per cpu with R9 features /900 euro with R10 features).
Get the R10 GETITON BUNDLE for only euro 20000 and all the above modules are included for a service period of a whole month!

Regards
The HAXON Crew

ROCK ON, MAXON!

[Erik Heyninck]

Pyro is now part of AR2.6, new schemes, new icons, layered objects and BP up to 32bit.
Powerslider (where did I see that one before?), rigging,...Great for animators. Let's wait and see what's in for the others.

[Srek]

Let's wait and see what's in for the others.
Much :)
The layer system alone is a godsend for all people doing architectural stuff and similar.

[BCEmcke]

Looks like some excellent additions. Any word on the student licenses?

[ghopper]

Nice work on the new website - congrats to the designer - looks very neat now and thanks for getting rid of the frames ;)

[lllab]

well on the first sight it looks very nice, good changes!
i like the interface much, nice icons, and the new OM looks usefull.

i formyself am amazed that there is no AR3 but to be honest i can imagine worse things;-)
congratulation Maxon!

hope the demo is downloaded soon.

thanks

that's not a real god send to me as a proffesh archi artist, what's more interesting me is the AR advances. what's the story on this fellers?

sorry Srek, dont mean to sound bolchy here, just cant find much info on maxon's site about much

[kosso_olli]

Yeah, what about AR? Any changes?

AR wasn't the focus of this upgrade. In R10 interactive render region was added to AR and Pyrocluster is now part of it instead of an own module.
Cheers
Björn

[Ernest Burden]

i formyself am amazed that there is no AR3 but to be honest i can imagine worse things;-)

I can't. I really, really wish you success with the vray product, because that is all that can save the day for me if there's no AR3.

And layers, it will be interesting to see. When I first got C4D I was crying about no layers, then I discovered how much better the OM worked and I don't miss 'em one bit.

[unseenthings]

getting the demo atm :)

this is a great surprise indeed

cheers

Tyler

So it *is* available already?? (when the page stops getting slammed, of course) -- I keep getting 404's when I hit the page after filling out the form. :/

[STRAT]

no AR upgrades? you gotta be kidding

[Ernest Burden]

AR wasn't the focus of this upgrade.

If Maxon couldn't see the importance of upgrading AR then I don't know what to say. Nice work on the rest, I guess.

[lllab]

Layers??!!!

thats cool!
love You:-)))

cant wait the demo is downloaded....

cheers
stefan

edit:ps. ernest- we try our best for sure.

[STRAT]

the most important part of any 3d app for a proffesh archi visualiser is the render engine!

[Zendorf]

I am also getting that error on the download page:sad: Is it actually available yet?...I presume the servers are being hit hard if so....

[leed]

And layers, it will be interesting to see. When I first got C4D I was crying about no layers, then I discovered how much better the OM worked and I don't miss 'em one bit.


yes, me too, using C4d and happy with the object manager, Archi viz needs an enhancement- development to the AR. as for not being a focus, well Ok but I for one am very disappointed.
I still will not be able to render GI over a network.

Lee

[moka.studio]

is there somewhere a complete list of changes for r10?

1st impression:
Some things look nice, still I am a bit disapointed.

By looking at the info on the maxon site ( still waiting for dowload), my 1st thoughts are that the GUI looks much better ( thanks Per, i suppose).
Timeline improvement, Scene management : sounds great, are the main improvements to me, also the inclusion (looks like it) of the power slider is nice, new Sniper (thanks Paul I guess): nice.
-CA, sounds great I suppose ( not my main area), curious to give it a try.
-BP / UV as part of core: makes sense.

The rest is kind of disapointing ( again I will reserve judgement after trying it out).
AR 2.7 ? pyro cluster is IMO an outdated module, to include it as part of AR does not improve things... no distributed rendering? bad, no (real) improvements to GI: bad,
- no updates to the modelling toolset: BAD.
- still complicated pricing scheme: bad. Why is there no bundle which includes all modules, why are Hair and Mograph separate? Gets more confusing than it was, and pricey.

[moka.studio]

I am also getting that error on the download page:sad: Is it actually available yet?...I presume the servers are being hit hard if so....

try going through the german page, I was also not getting a download to start from the english one.

[Erik Heyninck]

I'm quite shure that AR3 will be next. And that 10 will be needed for it.
Some 460Euro to upgrade from XL9.6 to XL10 is not exaggerated.

Only thing is: once again all plugins will need updating...


BTW, Bjorn: are stitching etc now added to the BP tools?

[wuensch]

Improved timeline, LCSM unwrap, betetr morphs,CA Tools (Muscles!)
VAMP-- is assume that is something similar like XSIs GATR(which is a KILLER feature)--is it Xmas already--

for my personal taste: perrrfect.

Olli

[Rantin Al]

Maxon UK must have been hobbled.

http://www.maxon.net/pages/downloads/demo_d.html

for those who want to download from the german site

if its true that the modelling tools arent improved in direction silo and modo I will cry all day this is for sure i hoped so much for the edge loop slide tool... come on maxon give us a fast 10.1 :bounce:

[ooo]

Downloading right now, but it is sloooow so it'll take a few hours although I'm on broadband...

But it all sounds freaking cool! Thanks for this surprise. Do I get it right that BP3 is included in the core and that BP3 includes the core? So everybody (also non-C4D-users that buy BP3 will get themselves a C4D copy?) Sounds as a smart move!

odo

[christianS]

come on maxon give us a fast 10.1

And so it begins :-(
I think we should wait until we have tried it before we start to weep
May take some time though, download is pretty slow now

Do I get it right that BP3 is included in the core and that BP3 includes the core? So everybody (also non-C4D-users that buy BP3 will get themselves a C4D copy?) Sounds as a smart move!


From what i understood there are some modelling-features in there. I guess a subset of the polygonal modelling toolset.

i think the new version looks good. Of course a ar3 would've been nice, also an updated pyrocluster and dynamics. But you can't have everything at once :-)

Could some of you abort your downloads please? :-)

Chris

[lllab]

well, beside the missing GI news i like the update very much, just ordered my studiobundle update:-)

i also think after this changes next will be AR. i think it was very important to give us layers and interface and workflow functions.

look at the latest max9 update- it costs 200% but has less than 50% new features than c4d10.

The thing that l'm looking forward to the most is what has changed in the CA department.

[Byla]

One question to beta testers:

- Interactive render region: does it work if lights/materials are changed as well? Is it almost the same as the XSI q shortcut without the treshold slider?

[Tank_3D_Attack]

One question to beta testers:

- Interactive render region: does it work if lights/materials are changed as well? Is it almost the same as the XSI q shortcut without the treshold slider?

Yes it works if lights/materials are changed PLUS you have a slider for "Quality". The lower the quality slider the faster the result.

Thomas

[Continuumx]

Can we get some kind of word on plugin compatibility with R10? Any problems?

[Byla]

Yes it works if lights/materials are changed PLUS you have a slider for "Quality". The lower the quality slider the faster the result.

Thomas

aha! So it is like XSI then ! Yupiiieeee

And another question: picture viewer. Can it save frames or not so you can compare rendered pictures ? Like in Maya :blush:

[Tank_3D_Attack]

Can we get some kind of word on plugin compatibility with R10? Any problems?

Well all of the 3D ATTACK Plugins work with R10. Not sure if the rest out there does so I can't speak for every plugin that exists.

[Tank_3D_Attack]

aha! So it is like XSI then ! Yupiiieeee

And another question: picture viewer. Can it save frames or not so you can compare rendered pictures ? Like in Maya :blush:

You will be able to save the "preview" area. So, yes...you will be able to compare ;)


Thomas

Thanks for this information Tank! Sounds to be very good!

[Erik Heyninck]

I have also a question for beta testers, regarding BP: are stitching, mirror etc now also included?

[mt_sabao]

The interactive render region is really good and usefull! But on the other hand the enhanced opengl preview doesn´t work, it says my work gfxcard doesn´t have all the extensions (ati 9600). Am i missing something? Cmon, with Hexagon in my 4 year old laptop i can get reflections and shadows!

Am looking forward for this, but maybe wait that i get home and try in my 7900gtx.

Also, our WFCam4D doesn´t seem to be working. Was expecting to see how it would work together with the interactive render region.
We have to look into it.

[Tank_3D_Attack]

I probably forgot to mention that every plugin has to be UB (if you are on OS X) in order for it to work with R10!

[JoelOtron]

Well--thats not gonna work for me for a while. Good to know.
So no more PPC version?

[mt_sabao]

No, doesn´t seem to be working with 10.

[RickBarrett]

Can we get some kind of word on plugin compatibility with R10? Any problems?

I don't have any info on specific plugins, but in general plugins created for Release 8+ that don't involve animation should continue to work. Plugins keyed to the C4D serial number will of course require new keys. Also, plugins that haven't yet been recompiled for Universal Binary won't work until that's been done by the developer.

[Srek]

R10 is only available as an UB Version for Mac that runs on intel and PPC Macs. A Code Warrior compiled PPC only version will not be available.
Plugins that are not available as UB versions will not work on Mac.

The "Show OpenGL Capabilities" button will show you, what's required for programmable shaders. The 9600 ist 2.5 years old (1st generation of "programmable shaders"). For a gcard, that's old.

Ok I am getting to like BP in 10. just a quick question though.
Can you move a brush along a spline, say to draw yellow lines on a road?

A bit miffed about the plugins though, not compatible,
Can you run 9.6 and 10 together?


Lee

[mt_sabao]

Pheww--great--thanks

Ok, good news is that marco pulled some of his voodooc++magic and it works. Bad news is it crashes C4D 10 if i render in the viewport.
Ok, i´m not going to highjack this thread. will give you more news about this in the wfcam4d thread.

brush along a spline, nope still can't do that, cool idea though.

you can run 9.6 and 10 together, their serials hsouldn't conflict to my knowledge, but do note that R10 is not backwards compatible at all, so a file saved in ten can only open in ten.

Bit of a thread ressurection you've got going on here. This thread was just about the redesign of the Maxon website at the beginning of the month to announce C4D R10 (should be pretty clear from the thread content). I'll close it now as it's served it's purpose.
