| Maxon Cinema 4D is rapidly rising to the forefront of professional tools for photorealistic illustation, animation, and video post-production work. With version 7, it expands its capabilities to include brand-new components, such as radiosity, caustics, SLA shaders, and several new plug-ins. Longtime Cinema 4D users upgrading from older versions as well as those designers and animators who are new to the program will find a multitude of valuable techniques, including using SLA shaders, programming custom enhancements, and optimizing workflow and productivity. This book covers Cinema 4D XL 7, as well as the companion 3D paint program, BODYPAINT 3D. This book is not a replacement for the manual as it doesn't cover all available functions and concentrates on the new features of Cinema 4D V7. |
