Hello everyone.
Many years ago I looked on in awe when I first saw that Pangolin made the 3d Studio / LD2000 era laser show tools.
At SELEM 2018 Pangolin announced the C4D plugin was now available on Beyond 4.0 on the Advanced level! Lightbulbs went off in my head. 3d edge-traced lightbulbs, that is. Much thanks! I was bummed when I saw the C4D/3DS plugins were originally both on Ultimate as so far I'm on Advanced. But now I have a shot at playing with this.
What would I need to do character animation from Cinema 4d into Beyond Advanced?
From what I can tell the current version of Cinema 4d Studio is the only one with character animation. What about using older versions? Since 95% of the functionality of the rendering software is tossed away when you're just edge tracing I wouldn't be sad if I could get away with Cinema 4d that is like 4 or 5 copies back. But I don't know much about it.
I assume it's possible to download / buy licensed "pre-wired" models and make em dance and stuff?
Years ago Autodesk mailed me a 3d Studio Character Studio demo CD with a video and it blew me away. So that is my reference to all of this character animation stuff.
Any pointers appreciated!
