MAXON Computer unveiled Cinema 4D Release 11 (R11), the next generation of its 3D animation software suite, at SIGGRAPH. The release promises advanced capabilities that deliver dramatically improved ease of use and workflow, image quality and integration into any production pipeline. Highlights include a non-linear animation system, a new global illumination render engine and dramatically improved render speed.
Other features of Release 11 include the Projection Man matte painting system developed for Sony Pictures Imageworks, support for the COLLADA file format and CineMan, a RenderMan-compliant tool that connects to Pixar’s industry-leading rendering solution. Improvements have also been made to MAXON’s popular texture painting toolset BodyPaint 3D Release 4.
According to MAXON, rendering speeds on the average are now more than twice as fast as with the previous version. CINEMA 4D R11 also boasts an all-new Cocoa-based architecture supporting 64-bit processing under Mac OS X Leopard. The release is expected to ship in September.
