Solid Angle Arnold goes live - C4DtoA Information Thread

congratulations guys, looks very nice

as i own every render engine on c4d so far, where can i buy it?
(or exchange nfrs)

best greetings from vrayforc4d team
stefan

thanks. You didn't buy Arnold yet? Well head over to Solid Angles homepage and catch up then

double post

so it is not one package i can buy from you?

would i need to get first arnold from them and the plugin from you?

This plugin is still in beta and not publically available, but you can buy Arnold for XSI or Maya right away, engine is the same.

ok understand sorry
the i better wait ,is not so urgent
how arnold works in know from other platforms and testers

Hi Daniel,

Is Arnold specific to 3D apps? Or can scenes be prepared in a Arnold Scene format similar to what we now have with Vray? I ask because my studio has access to a farm setup to render Arnold on Maya. We'd like to know if we can exploit this when Arnold becomes available for C4D.

Thanks!

You can export the scenes to the proprietary Arnold format *.ass which can be rendered by directly via kick.exe. Afaik this applies to MtoA and SitoA as well. So shouldn't matter where you setup your scene.

So you actually kick.exe the .ass ?

Those guys fear nothing...

Well actually Arnold kicks ass, now you got it

Oh yes!! I can't wait to play with this!

RealFlow Particles via Arnold Particles Object and DOF, excuse the excessive light bleeding

All this looks very promising! Please keep us updated.

Does Arnold have some kind of distributed rendering?

Regards
Claus

From what I can see from the solid angle site the there aren't render nodes you just have to buy more seats at £875 each which is where I think many people will be turned off! Its a good price for one seat, inline with the other top renderers out there but no discounted render nodes is a shame. Quality looks amazing though

Considering Renderman the pricing sounds fair to me
Also don't forget the volume discount and the very fair rental pricing policy!
