Solid Angle Cinema 4D to Arnold 3.3.10

The software developer Solid Angle announced the launch of Arnold (C4DtoA) 3.3.10 for Cinema4D. This update uses Arnold 6.2.1.1 and is a minor feature release which adds UDIM support to texture baking and bug fixes to the the Asset Browser, X-Particles trails and Explosia Fx volume renders.

3.3.10 release note - Date: 12.10.2021

Enhancements
- UDIM support in texture baking: Bake Texture utility has new options to output all or selected UDIM tiles. (c4dtoa#2539)


- Remove unused light groups: Unused empty light groups are now automatically removed when changing the light group name on an Arnold Sky or Arnold Light object. A new button is added to the Light Manager which removes all unused light groups. (c4dtoa#2561)
Bug Fixes
- c4dtoa#2560 Bounds mismatch error in Explosia FX render
- c4dtoa#2563 Crash when rendering X-Particles trails using thickness multiplier
- c4dtoa#2564 Crash when setting Alembic path from a python tag
- c4dtoa#2565 Relative texture path is broken when moving material to the Asset Browser

Arnold is an advanced cross-platform rendering library, or API, developed by Solid Angle and used by a number of prominent organizations in film, television and animation, including Sony Pictures Imageworks. It was developed as a photo-realistic, physically-based ray tracing alternative to traditional scanline based rendering software for CG animation.

Arnold uses cutting-edge algorithms that make the most effective use of your computer’s hardware resources: memory, disk space, multiple processor cores, and SIMD/SSE units.

The Arnold architecture was designed to easily adapt to existing pipelines. It is built on top of a pluggable node system; users can extend and customize the system by writing new shaders, cameras, filters and output driver nodes, as well as procedural geometry, custom ray types and user-defined geometric data. The primary goal of the Arnold architecture is to provide a complete solution as a primary renderer for animation and visual effects.

Arnold renderer


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.
