It colour codes nodes in the node graph according to how long they take to process – by default, the slowest are shown in red, as in the image above – with mode detailed information available via the console. Scene nodes: workflow improvements, including support for heat mapsĬinema 4D’s Scene Nodes system gets another update, with the node editor getting a new heat map system for identifying performance bottlenecks. In the generator, thickness can be controlled by vertex maps or polygon selections and selection tags are generated automatically for the shell and each new end cap.Īccording to Maxon, the workflow generates cleaner results than using the existing Extrude tool or converting a mesh to a cloth surface, resolving intersections while preserving edges and corners.
Users can generate thickness inside, outside or centred on the existing mesh, working either procedurally with the generator, or interactively with the Thicken tool. New features in Ciema 4D 2023.2 include the new Thicken generator and Thicken tool.īoth convert the 2D surface of a model into a 3D shell, making it suitable for 3D printing, or to make it possible to apply render effects that require a suitable volume of material, like subsurface scattering.

The update adds a new Thicken generator for converting mesh surfaces to 3D geometry, adds new options for controlling Pyro smoke and fire simulations, and completely reworks Cinema 4D’s Commander. Maxon has released Cinema 4D 2023.2, the latest version of its 3D design and animation software.
