Solid Angle Cinema 4D to Arnold 3.1.1

The Arnoldrenderer product team is pleased to announce the availability of Arnold (C4DtoA) 3.1.1 for Cinema4D. This release introduces support for the new Scene Node graph (Neutron) in Cinema 4D R23.

Version 3.1.1 - Date: 10 Sep 2020

C4DtoA 3.1.1 is a minor feature release, that uses Arnold 6.0.4.0.

Enhancements

Support for Scene Node graph (Neutron) in Cinema 4D R23: The Neutron Scene Node graph introduced in Cinema 4D R23 is now exported to Arnold. Currently only polygon objects and instances are supported. Arnold shaders can be assigned to objects, but it's not possible to create any Arnold specific nodes in Neutron at the moment. (c4dtoa#1687)

There's a known bug in Cinema 4D R23.008, that plugins are not loaded automatically in Team Render Client and Commandline render. The plugins folder (e.g. c:\Program Files\Maxon Cinema 4D R23\plugins) has to be added manually.

In Team Render Client go to File -> Preferences… -> Plugins -> Search Paths -> Add Folder…


For Commandline, specify the g_additionalModulePath environment variable.

Arnold for Cinema4D (C4DtoA) supports most Cinema 4D features such as instances, cloners, deformers, generators, MoGraph geometry, hair, and ThinkingParticles. It also supports both animation and single frame distributed rendering in Team Render, allowing the use of all computers in a local network to speed-up Arnold rendering. Third-party plugins TurbulenceFD and X-Particles are natively supported, allowing artists to render high quality smoke, fire, and particle effects with fully interactive feedback. Other features include volume rendering with OpenVDB, a node-based material editor and a comprehensive list of shaders and utilities, including vertex maps and per-face materials.


Solid Angle SL is the technology company behind the Arnold rendering software, with offices in Madrid and London and customers throughout the world including Framestore, DreamWorks, ILM, Sony Pictures Imageworks, MPC, The Mill, Mikros Image and Rising Sun Pictures. Arnold was designed from the ground up to efficiently raytrace the complex geometric datasets required for feature­-length CGI animation and big­ budget visual effects, while at the same time simplifying the pipeline, reducing the number of passes, minimizing storage requirements and greatly enhancing interactivity for lighting artists.
