Key Highlights of CINEMA 4D Release 11.5:

• Superior Rendering Performance Including New Bucket Rendering

  Significant re-tooling of the render engine in R11.5 helps artists render more rapidly and efficiently. R11.5 takes advantage of state-of-the-art multi-core processors and adds new features such as render instancing and bucket rendering to provide users tremendous improvements in efficiency. Render-intensive tasks such as sub-polygon displacement have been accelerated immensely. CINEMA 4D users can now create scenes of greater complexity, as even billions of polygons can be rendered on modest hardware.

• Enhanced Picture Viewer

  The new Picture Viewer in R11.5 offers a vast set of creative tools for reviewing and editing images and animations, saving artists valuable time. Features include a render history with the ability to compare renderings, image filtering and adjustments, post filter effects, and improved layer management. The RAM player also enables users to play back animations with sound even whilst the rest of the job is still being rendered. This gives users the ability to check animations for problems as they render.

• Improved Interoperability and Integration

  Users of Release 11.5 can now more easily integrate CINEMA 4D into existing production pipelines: Numerous improvements have been made to CINEMA 4D’s highly praised connectivity to Adobe After Effects, including support for additional object types. Support for Apple Motion now includes the export of 3D data. Support for Autodesk FBX 2010.0 allows for quick and easy interchange between a variety of 3D applications

• Powerful New Motion Graphics Capabilities

  The motion graphics module MoGraph – a staple with CINEMA 4D motion graphics artists due to its quick workflow, fast rendering and easy export to compositing applications – has been upgraded to version 2 and provides powerful new motion graphics functionality. New features in MoGraph 2 include: MoDynamics, an optimized physics simulation package with which hundreds of objects can easily be made to collide or be affected by such forces as gravity or friction; PolyFX for providing quick and easy explosion effects; MoSpline for cloning existing splines and animating them with forces and effectors; and many more exciting features for broadcast artists.

• Support For New Operating Systems

  MAXON continues to build upon its legacy of providing compatibility with the latest advanced operating system release features: Apple – R11.5 is fully compatible with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, including access to up to 64GB of virtual memory. Microsoft – R11.5 is fully compatible with Windows 7, including enhanced file dialog.
