Maxon takes all these ideas from the plugins that people do for c4d, i had plugins doing similar things, I remember that I download a new plugin, and in the next version cinema 4d they put that option. It’s great because they see what’s popular, what people use the most, and then they give it to us in a package. The fewer plugins, the better.
These low level tools seems more refined and better integrated than both MAX ones and Blender. In fact in Blender some of these are not part of the core but Addons. How is the Snapping system in C4d compared to these software? Hard to find proper modeling videos with any version of Cinema
Really one of the best "What's New in..." overviews around...your preparation, organization, presentation skills, and even honesty "I don't know exactly what this does yet, but I will find out and share next week" shows such respect for your viewers. On a minor Maxon note, not sure why the contextual icons don't offer a Redshift camera , like they do RS lights and RS sun/sky etc. Easy enough to customize, but not consistent. Looking forward to your NAB prez and sale!
happy to see them pay attention to some of those little interface things. So small, but they're all like "ahh that's a nice change." And stp file in the background is huge for me! I do animation for complex industrial products, so many pipes n stuff, and hopefully it will let me work while a stp file loads for 2 hours. Still don't know why they don't make preferences "ctrl+,". It's a simple fix but so many programs do it.
Yeah, I never really worked with CAD files, but when I started doing tests I can't believe how long it took them to load. Great addition to have in S26.
Last time I played with C4d was back in 2017/18, boy, things have changed. All I wanted was to recall how to insert an object from c4d to Ae with reflections and all. Man have I forgotten everything I had known about this software. What's the deal with the new material? I loved C4d for being easy, way more easy than Maya, which I also knew, once.. This whole thing just made me feel bad about even trying.
thanks for the update!, always enjoy watching your videos when a new C4D comes out. The import vector artwork feature is a long awaited nice improvement but the simulation updates at the end of the video are exciting!!!!
wow, hammer weights feature-- this is unbelievably useful for rigging mixamo characters that arent humanoid. just tested adjusting mesh issues that I was never able to resolve before. it worked INSANELY well.
You are my favorite video host in all of TH-cam. Because you talk fast and with great precision and authority. Not to mention enthusiasm and an upbeat attitude. You do not shout or bark at your viewer. There are no nasty audio artifacts (like cheap mic and room standing waves) in your audio portion. You do not affect any vulgar and trendy word pronunciations, thank god. Oh, and S26 looks cool, too.
39:03 The single best thing added in this update. This was huge for me, thank you maxon, I cant tell you how many times I changed parameters while scrolling when trying to move down a list.
So great update for Cinema and great review. I almost want to shift to the blender for the 3D modelling before now that all the tools I needed are already been added to the cinema maybe I just stick to it.
Maxon oughta buy FUSE / MIXAMO and make it a part of C4D. And we could use AI to tell the characters what to do, and when, and where to focus their eyes, and even design costumes for them.
as always you are the king! thank you for this wonderful video. unfortunately RS monthly price is so high for me still. Twice the price of Octane sadly.... I hope GPU can be native like Max and Arnold
yeah its confusing why they don't ship c4d w redshift when there are so may other options of render engine. maybe it has something to do with the terms of their purchasing of RS. who knows.
Rendering is a feature that can not be seperated from a 3D software. But they did it. Maxon did not develop a modern engine. They bought one of them and custumers are paying it thats all. There is a strange deciple audience that tends to applaud immediately no matter what is put in front of them. I can’t believe this anymore. Really.
very cool low level tools for modeling that even 3ds max doesn't have them by default or they dont work as smooth. Small tools but together they already give a more serious impression about C4D as a modeling tool. Maxon is to be saluted! Development of Polygon Modeling pretty much sucks nowadays so all respect for them. Keep it in this direction including small but useful modeling tools that other software users take it for granted. Does Maxon have a board where they receive and discuss feedback from users about software improvements?
@@RocketLasso i just love your teaching method mellow well explained but clearly enjoy what you doing videos! The zbrush folks always breeze through everything too fast... and are not great at explaining the "why" of things.
Don't bet on this one - I did some ''ink in water'' sims in Blender pretty fast and smooth (since I don't use it on daily basis), yet it was pretty much impossible for me to do it in C4d without XParticles (which I don't have).
A classic question for anyoneknows the issue: What to do for that going on jiggle after the simulation stopped? Can't we solve that without poking the project settings because there are other objects with different simulations?
Great breakdown, you know, i checked the Rocket Lasso Live channel and subscribed but i couldn't find the stream in which you did that R with that kind of cobweb with liquid tears that looks really good, you said that was 2 weeks ago but i really couldn't find it, do you remember the name of the stream or how can i search for it?... Greetings and thanks in advance.
My only question: at Time 1:26:57 , Why did you start out with the Helix spline primitive... if your goal was to have a perfect straight-line spline? Couldn't you start with a perfect straight spline? Or is there something I'm not understanding here (entirely possible).
Hi Chris, I'm not sure I understand you correctly. When I see what you did with the new uniform cloth simulation, it seems to behave more like a soft body than the old cloth simulation. So is the new cloth going to replace the old soft body in a sense? It feels like we have some duplicate tags doing almost the same thing.
Chris you're a tough guy but please stop patronising Maxon. On minute 27:46 you can see that the bridge tool creates extra double polygons, these are not new features, these are new problems.
aah, i just got into making soft rn and tNice tutorials is so helpful and your voice is so sootNice tutorialng btw! thanks for tNice tutorials tutorial
If you give the plane a Cloth tag and fix it on 2 points, then it will begin to oscillate endlessly. It's so ridiculous. Why is there no reduction of fluctuations ? Damping in the settings slows down the fluctuations, but does not remove them.
Great video as usual, thanks. I was hoping that the ZRemesher would work with textures, for tidying up photogrammetry, but unfortunately not. Do you know of a good method?
i wish they hadn't removed a bright theme option :/ because: i don't like dark interface of the specific program.At least: it is very fast,lightwave,stable,but still lacks some of the features,comparing to blender.
Anybody know why I can't see the "Rigid Body" Simulation tag? I see Cloth, Rope, Connector, Cloth Belt, Rope Belt and Collider. Also, new to C4D so sorry if I misunderstand....Thanks!
All of the "old" simulation tags (including the Rigid Body Tag) have been moved to the Bullet Tag menu. Bullet is the name of the engine on which they are based.
hey everybody , i have a question , when export particles from houdini or any program as alembic and import as point to c4d 25 and 26 , i cant change the position of alembic (points) . but ican do this on c4d 21 - 22 -23 and 24 , anybody know why cant be change potion of point cache alembic file ?
You did a lot of work making this video, much appreciated. C4D is "animation made fun again" with its new dynamics.
We need a "Panic Button" to interrupt ANY calculation. The Esc key doesnt work often...
Agreed!
+1
the new release is pretttty dope. redshift cpu will make working with mac collegues SO GOOD!!!
You are the best at describing new features. Great update and great video.
@37:43 oh look its the blender layout :D
Looks like the team had a long hard look at Blender before deciding which new modelling tools to add!
honestly without basic feature parity, there's really no point competing

@@pandagames4192 Thats how most software is built anyways.
@@pandagames4192 well, the alternative is the 3ds strategy where autodesk doesn't bother because there is already a plugin for it.

If C4D can handle Ai clipping masks now, After Effects has no excuse. 😂
Wow! Chris I'm so glad i stayed until the end that ricochet with rope example was mind blowing! Thank you!

Finally Maxon took care about modeling tools! Really really was needed 👍👍👍
this was an excellent overview! Thank you Chris, I am glad you do what you do.
Was looking for rope connector and then chriss connected it very well ! Thanks .
I thought it was blender in the thumbnail, I have no idea their UI were that similar!
Nice. You left the best til last.
Thanks for the overview, Chris! It is always pleasure to watch your videos!
wow, hammer weights feature-- this is unbelievably useful for rigging mixamo characters that arent humanoid. just tested adjusting mesh issues that I was never able to resolve before. it worked INSANELY well.
These new features are extremely useful
Making Zbrush part of the package is an absolute deal-sealer for me. Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic idea!
blender user here and feels like some of these "new" tools are not that new. More like catching up to other programs
@@nunomota9838 lmao keep dreaming
Always so helpful! Thanks for all you bring, Chris. :)
hot damn, i wish i watched this sooner. Thank you for putting this together Chris! :D

what throws off is the step sequencer. i ntally associate it with a soft/clip whether it's being used or not. also when you do
thanks a lot, always enjoy watching your videos when a new C4D version comes out
man... thank you... i saw your face and i knew this was going to be exactly what i wanted/needed. You're the best
39:03 The single best thing added in this update. This was huge for me, thank you maxon, I cant tell you how many times I changed parameters while scrolling when trying to move down a list.
38:50 killer feature! thanks god maxon did it
I'm on a M1 Mac and Maxon app manager won't let me update to S26... I keep getting an error. Guess I just have to wait?
Still no snap system update !!!!!
Best s26-news tutorial in the internet. Thank you so much!!
Some more robust mesh booleans would be nice to add to all the other significant modeling improvements
I still can’t paint on textures in the 3d viewport with Redshift materials. --- Edited after I received an email from Maxon support ---
Thanks Chris! You've got me pumped for S26!
thank you my friend it's very kind of you
Expectation: Maxon will improve a new work area on ZBrush that turns the interface more friendly
Reality: improving C4D with ZBrush resourrces
THIS is an awesome update!
Nice Blender Plugin. :)
I just did my first test on zremesher with a CAD file I have and this does not work correctly at all
Quadremesher plugin did the ZRmesher job for years.
So great update for Cinema and great review. I almost want to shift to the blender for the 3D modelling before now that all the tools I needed are already been added to the cinema maybe I just stick to it.
Wow! New version gives me some hope to stick with cinema4d. 😅
great to see we get tools that are in 3ds max for over 10 years yay
Maxon oughta buy FUSE / MIXAMO and make it a part of C4D. And we could use AI to tell the characters what to do, and when, and where to focus their eyes, and even design costumes for them.
Redshift is now integrated on c4d ?
So it took 22 years to add a circularize tool. Jesus Christ............ Finally they are getting closer to Maya. Thanks for the breakdown Chris!
Nice tutorial I just got the yamaha PSR E363 and I connected it as a midi controller however I can't figure out how to draw the notes with my
nice to see the master Chris Smith!

Maybe one day when I can clone myself : )

Chris, you would be such a great addition to the Houdini community! Would you ever consider dabbling in Houdini a little?
The rope sim is great, Blender is so behind when it comes to simulating anything.
Don't bet on this one - I did some ''ink in water'' sims in Blender pretty fast and smooth (since I don't use it on daily basis), yet it was pretty much impossible for me to do it in C4d without XParticles (which I don't have).

From 36:25 onwards Is there a way for us to change the default Italic style for New layouts text?
Is Z-brush native to c4d now? or just package along with the Maxon service.
It's packaged along with Maxon 1
It's packaged with Maxon One subscription, but the ZRemesher is built directly into Cinema 4D now!

Wow v26….. I worked with C4D until v12. That was around 2010 I believe.. best 3D app if you ask me. To bad I do not have a license anymore.
For me I just wanted C4Dviewport to be more responsive with heavy scenes.
Modeling tools get nice upgrades.... But why Maxon wait so long?
Great video as usual, thanks.
I was hoping that the ZRemesher would work with textures, for tidying up photogrammetry, but unfortunately not. Do you know of a good method?
Yes! Now you can create a parametric UV map using the new Automatic UV node (inside the Scene Nodes\Scene Manager or in the classic Object Manager)
