If you have ever opened a new official build of Blender, you may know the button in the upper center of the window that says "Blender Render". You probably only know this button because it is the button that switches to the Cycles renderer. The cycles renderer plays an important role in 3D configurator [...]
While there are many rendering methods in Cinema 4D, there are four main third-party render engines that you need to know about, if you are working on a 3D configurator project: Arnold, Octane, Redshift and Cycles. In a series of articles, we'll take a closer look at the four different tools and discuss why [...]
In the following article we would like to discuss the use of the Octane renderer in Cinema 4D. The Octane renderer plays often an important role in 3D configurators projects. If you have never heard of Octane before or if you are curious to use Octane in Cinema 4D, you should definitely read this [...]
The FurryBall RT plays an increasingly important role in our 3D configurator projects.. In AAA Studio has discontinued the development of FurryBall RT, its GPU-based production renderer for 3ds Max, Maya and Cinema 4D, and reduced the cost of the software to a "symbolic" price of 29 €/year.
