Magic Snow makes snow easy, effortlessly and fast inside Cinema 4D
Magic Paint is a new free plugin. It utilizes code coming with the C.O.F.F.E.E. SDK, which I expanded on. You can make cool 3D paint animations, snap and pick colors. Python is used for this, so you need to install the free py4d plugin to use it.

X-particles Plugin Coming Soon!
Filed under C4D List Blog
X-Particles is a new particle system for Maxon’s Cinema 4D. This system:
· is more powerful than C4D’s basic particle emitter in terms of options and control
· contains its own inbuilt control system that does not use Xpresso but utilises a system of question, controller, and action objects which are used in the object manager in the same way as other objects
· contains an inbuilt sprite generator
· is compatible with the standard C4D particle modifiers and (when generating sprites or other geometry) with the C4D object deformers and Mograph effectors
· contains inbuilt functions such as flocking, target following, and particle tracing
· is compatible with C4D’s dynamics system in C4D R12 and above
MAXON Announces a New Exchange Plug-in for CINEMA 4D and Adobe After Effects
Filed under C4D List Blog
Friedrichsdorf, Germany, October 31, 2011 – MAXON, the leading developer of professional 3D modeling, painting, animation and rendering solutions, today announced immediate availability of a new plug-in for Adobe® After Effects® CS5 and CS5.5 that allows motion graphics artists to export projects directly into CINEMA 4D R13. This new capability broadens CINEMA 4D’s domination as the industry-leading 3D motion graphics toolkit, known for its seamless connectivity to popular 2D motion graphics and compositing tools. This new plug-in is the perfect companion to the CINEMA 4D composition import already widely used by broadcast designers worldwide. With the combination of these two plugins, motion graphics artists working on Windows and Mac OS X will enjoy easy data exchange to and from both applications.
The CINEMA 4D export appears directly in the After Effects export menu and generates a .c4d file containing 3D layers, cameras, lights, solids, nulls and footage. Even nested compositions are supported. All major layer attributes including animations (rotation, position, parameter, anchor points, POI, etc.), expressions, layer parenting, layer locking and layer visibility are retained. Render and document settings in CINEMA 4D are adapted accordingly to the After Effects’ project settings.
“The After Effects-CINEMA 4D workflow is the proven choice for top motion design studios worldwide seeking to easily integrate their 3D and 2D workflows,” commented Harald Schneider, managing partner and CTO at MAXON. “We are pleased to offer our customers this new After Effects export plugin so they can benefit by the increased speed, efficiency and tight integration between these two powerhouse software packages.”
“CINEMA 4D is a 3D package After Effects users have already come to know and love because of its seamless integration into After Effects,” said Steve Forde, product manager for Adobe After Effects. “The ability to bring assets the other direction as well will certainly enhance productivity and further solidify CINEMA 4D as an ideal 3D solution for motion graphics artists.”
