Hey Peoples :D

I jsut saw the topic on cheetah (c4d's clone). and for the split second i was on the site i noticed they have a really usefull feature. It's called a "render manager" Basically it saves all the images you have rendered and then you can go back through them. I would love to have that feature coz well firstly it makes it easier to save progress shots, and it's jsut heaps handy to compare different lighting set ups and such.

Maybe it exists, but if it doesn't here is a short kinda "concept"

Idea:
Make an inbuilt browser into cinema 4d that saves all the images that have been rendered and you can browse through them (back forward buttons) you can choose to display multiple images at once, to compare renders. And maybe some batch saving thing.

-Obviouse problem:
Will take up ALOT of hard drive space

Solution:
-Make three options:
=always on (for those with 500gb harddrives)
=clear everytime you turn off cinema, so it's jsut there while you're working on a project.
=always off

Anyway Cheers,
Per-Anders

There's also a plugin by Majoul called Mes Images that does something like that. And it's free.

You need to launch the plugin, then load a folder (or several images manually).
Then, you double-click on one image, and click on another one. You should see a little red vertical bar, this can be moved to compare images.

Here is the direct link to the plugin : http://perso.wanadoo.fr/archizone/fc4d/Mes_Image_92.zip

And Majoul's plugins page (lots of neat stuff, take a look at "MrVue" too) : http://perso.orange.fr/archizone/Accueil.htm

If I have time, I'll translate MesImages with his permission.

so it's just a program that lets you compare images? Well i got infranview for that, the point is that this plug0in would make it easier while working.

I also have severe problems with understanding French:) The "compere" line is the trick.
However, what makes PictureViewer (in 10comm) the ultimate thing, is you don't have to render to file, you can directly compare any editor renders. This is crucial for checking loops for example. EditorRender the first frame, rightclick to load into RAM, render the last frame, right click and load into 2nd RAM slot. Drag the line back and forth. Re-render and load into one of the RAM slots, Very quick and intuitive.
Sorely miss this in the UB version of Cinema.

But maybe this is also posssible in the Mes plugin?
