THE POWER OF MENTAL RAY FOR CINEMA 4D

THE POWER OF MENTAL RAY FOR CINEMA 4D - C4D之家 - viewtopic.png

Say welcome to the newest Update for m4d. Some cool new Features were added:
The core is now updated to mental ray 3.10.3.8.

iray:

Round Corners shader support
Displacement support (mia and c4d material)
better support for physical DOF camera shader
support for 2D c4d Shaders, such as Noise or Layer/Fusion shaders (previously only Bitmap shader were supported)
c4d shader animation support
Motion blur support
IES light support (mia_photometric_light shader)
preset:// texture support
speedups due to new iray 2.0 core

mental ray:

MIA, FastSSS and CarPaint and c4d Material Displacement support
some huge speedups in Scene conversion (depending on the scene, some huge scenes render now in 10 seconds instead of 2minutes!)
IES light support (mia_photometric_light shader)
Volumetric light support
MetaSL fixes for 64bit systems
GI settings for physical sky
MetaSL crash fixes
better Drag&Drop support for mia Material

Try the Demo version with our new Example scenes if you like.

THE WAIT IS OVER!

We're very proud to announce, that the times of beta testing for m4d are now officially over. For the last 1 1/2 years our team of programmers, 3D artists and UI specialists worked hard to make m4d one of the greatest and most sophisticated render implementations available.

Key-Features of m4d:
- Two renderers in one package: Raytracer mental ray and GPU-supporting pathtracer iray
- Implementation of interchangeable MetaSL shaders
- Supporting the awesome MIA Material with BRDF, Translucency, and much more...
- Fast Subsurface Scattering (Fast SSS) and Carpaint Shader (Coated Materials)
- Ready for Nuke & Co.: More framebuffers than you'll ever need!
- Illumination options for every taste: GI, FG, Importons, Unified Sampling, Irradiance Particles and IBL
- Native support of nearly all Cinema 4D's shaders and objects
- Great usability: Proceeding the ease of Cinema 4D's UI and workflow
- Motion Blur, Depth of Field and Photographic Exposure
- Ready for NET Render, MoGraph, Thinking Particles and Dynamics
- iray will use all available resources for rendering: CPU and optional GPU
- Live-preview of your scene with iray: the most advanced implementation of a GPU pathtracer available!

Thanks again to all our beta testers - especially our co-developers cloudscape - who have supplied us with lots of valuable practice-oriented information to make m4d what it is now: Lots of fun to work with and yielding unbelievable render results!

WHAT IS M4D?

m4d is an addition to MAXON Cinema 4D integrating the high-end renderers mental ray and iray.

Cinema 4D (C4D) + mental ray (MR) + iray = m4d

m4d is brought to you by at2 (developers of the famous Blackstar-Plugins) and brings the most well known and powerful render engine mental ray into C4D.

WHAT IS IRAY?

iray® is the world’s first interactive and physically correct, photorealistic rendering solution. With iray, users can quickly create life-like images of their creations by using intuitive, real world approaches and interactively exploring their results through the processing power of NVIDIA® graphics processing units (GPUs).

With m4d - mental ray for Cinema 4D you can now use this powerful feature of realtime GPU rendering. You can either switch your render engine from mental ray to iray, or open your own preview window on your workspace to get real-time render results while you are working.

WHAT IS MENTAL RAY?

mental ray® is a rendering software which generates images of outstanding quality and unsurpassed realism. It combines the physically correct simulation of the behavior of light with full programmability for the creation of any imaginable visual phenomena. The software uses advanced and proprietary acceleration and sampling techniques for faster rendering on even the smallest, single processor machines. At the same time, mental ray achieves optimal scalable performance through the exploitation of parallelism on both multiprocessor machines and across networks of machines.

Now, you can use the power of mental ray, one of the most well known renderers with MAXON Cinema 4D.
