Verlängerung (1-Jahr) Maxon Cinema 4D Jahreslizenz

Place Tool

• Places selected object(s) on the surface of other objects and aligns to normal
• Handles for rotation around normal of the surface and scaling relative to the bottom
• Multiple selected objects or hierarchies are treated as a single object with a combined bounding box.
• Ability to clone objects (ctrl modifier)
• Simple collision detection mechanism to avoid overlapping with other objects in the scene

Scatter Tool

• Scatters selected objects on surfaces along brush strokes
• Scattered objects are placed with the bottom of their bounding box on the surface
• Creates "Scatter Object" in the Object Manager and outputs Render Instances or Multi-Instances
• Tool offers settings to adjust and randomise scale, rotation and object ID (i.e. which of the selected objects is being scattered) for paint strokes
• Allows to editing of individual scattered instances through other tools (such as Place, Move, Rotate, Scale, Dynamic)

Dynamic Place Tool

• Temporarily turns selected objects into dynamic objects for placement
• PRS gizmo to move objects around, rotate and scale the selection (as in clump together / move further apart from each other)
• Automatically generates useful collision shapes for selected objects and for the static environment
• Offers the ability to run a dynamic simulation to drop the selected objects to surfaces

Databases

• Supports online databases to allow for individual and on-demand asset delivery.
• The user can create their own databases or use databases provided by default.
• Supports Objects, Materials, Scenes and Node-Based Assets.
• It is possible to hide assets from a specific database without disabling or unmounting this database.

Download

• Assets are now available individually on-demand.
• Online updater has been deprecated. Presets library will be downloaded from the website. Notification of application updates and available language packs will now be seen in the Quick Start panel.

Search and Filtering

• The assets in the browser can be searched and found with a text based search system.
• Special search operators (also text based) can be used to find items based on specific attributes like size, creation data, dependencies, etc.
• Search strings including the operators can be saved as a Smart Search. The Smart search will appear in the Categories list and will perform the search as defined every time the user clicks on it.
• The option Category Search Mode displays the search results not as a plain list, but separates the results in categories.
• Specific filter options are located at the top of the browser as tabs and allow the user to quickly display only the assets which are Objects, Materials, Media, Nodes, Scene Manager Operators or Scenes.
• There is an option to switch filter options automatically based on the context (Object Manager, Material Manager, etc.)
• Some context menus offer the command Reveal in Browser, this allows the user to find the location of the specific assets in the browser hierarchy.

Keywords

• The user can create and assign keywords (tags in some applications) to the assets.
• The keywords will help the user to find specific assets.
• The Keywords can also be added to the Category list, so the user can list all assets, which have this specific keyword applied.

Favorites

• The user can mark specific assets as favorites.
• There is a predefined Favorites smart search in the Quick Access area.

Details Area

• If an asset, category or any other item in the browser is selected, its details can be listed in the Details area. Multi-selection is supported here.
• In the Preview tab of this area the user can see and change the preview of the specific asset.
• In the Info tab of this area the user can see and in some cases even edit some of the specific information like name, type, size, resolution, polygon count, proxy, etc. This information is different for different asset types.
• The Dependencies tab lists other the assets which are used in the selected asset - e.g. textures if a material is selected. This also lists dependents - e.g. in which materials this texture is used, and also lists dependencies on 3rd party plugins and node spaces.
• The Keywords tab allows the user to manage the keywords, which are assigned to the selected asset.
• The Versions tab lists all available versions of the specific asset. There the user can also manage them and create new versions.
