Here is the list of everything new in Cinema 4D R21: New licensing system for Cinema 4D.  New, improved caps surfaaces (e.g., for the Extrude object).  New UV transformation tool.  New auto-weighting for joints.  ProRender matierals can now a be made up of nodes  The Denoiser post effect can significantly speed up rendering.  New Vector volume type.  The Volume Builder can now also generate Volume Vectors (spatial vector distribution).  New Field Force object that creates forces from Fields.  Now volumes can be rendered with ProRender.  New Maxon License Server.  Offline Help is again available in addition to the existing offline Help.  New nodes for the Standard / Physical renderers. New display option for the viewport.  A mac menu bar can now be displayed  The texture view can now also be smoothed using antialiasing.  Modified functionality when starting Cinema 4D with minimal OpenGL display settings....

Overview on the most commonly used renderers in visual effects and 3D modeling /animation: >>>>> KeyShot: Simple Interface Rendering Speed Powerful Animation Advanced Features Easy Fast Accurate CPU-Powered, it takes full advantage of all cores and threads inside a computer Tight Integration: When you import 3D geometry, KeyShot maintains the entire model structure including part and assembly names Large Data Handling: Since KeyShot is CPU-based, any imported data is stored in RAM – not the video card. This allows KeyShot to handle extremely large data sets. There are no restrictions on the size of the data set as long as the computer has enough memory available. >>>> V-RAY: Progressive Rendering: Instead of creating the image bucket by bucket, it renders the whole output at once and quickly clears the noise in it. Probabilistic Light Sampling Integrated Embree Great for architectural renders VRayClipper Object Render Mask/Render Subset Deep Image Output...

The best free animation software The list we’ve outlined here includes any animation solution with an available free offering. It should be noted that this does not include products that are only free on a temporary basis, such as limited trial versions for new users. They may only support one user or one project, but they’re truly free offerings. Scaling, however, will often require full investments. 1. KeyShot KeyShot  is a fast and user-friendly 3D rendering software with animation capabilities. This tool allows users to go from a simple model to a stunning visual in minutes. KeyShot is a completely free animation software. KeyShot has a number of features to support animation and 3D rendering, including but not limited to: 2D animation and 3D animation HDRI lighting that allows you to light and adjust your scene as needed Camera control that enables users to simulate real-world camera behavior Dynamic texture mapping to simulate the rea...

These are some of the cool  new features in R20: MoGraph Fields  – Offer unprecedented content creation possibilities to the procedural animation toolset in MoGraph. The Fields feature in Cinema 4D R20 makes it possible to efficiently control the strength of the effect using any combination of falloffs – from simple geometric shapes to shaders and sounds to objects and mathematical formulas. Fields can be mixed and combined with one another in a layer list. Effects can be re-mapped and grouped in multiple Fields to control Effectors, Deformers, weights and more. Volume-based modeling –  The OpenVDB-based Volume Builder and Mesher in Cinema 4D R20 offer an entirely new procedural modeling workflow. Any primitive or polygon object (including the new Fields objects) can be combined to create complex objects using Boolean operations. Volumes created in R20 can be exported sequentially in OpenVDB format and can be used in any application or render engine th...
