It creates branches, twigs, creepy looking plants and black metal band logos. A custom user interface gives full control over all attributes.
Point Morph is a Cinema 4D r13/r14 plugin that helps user to create and animate complex poses quickly.
C4DZone developed this plugin in order to bypass some frustrating limitations of the PoseMorph Tag which is actually one of the best and easy tool to create and animate poses in Cinema 4D.
Point Morph works by copying the base pose into a new a new object so you can use tools like iron and slide that usually don’t work with PoseMorph because they modify the base pose even if you are working on a custom pose.
You can use all kinds of tools but of corse the custom pose need to have the same number of vertices of base pose.

Kurulumun is Python driven Cinema 4D plugin that generates curly splines. Heavily inspired by Structure Synth’s Nouveau variations it brings ability to Cinema 4D to generate curly parametric splines, that twist 90 degrees around a random axis.
Super Source Falloff
Get more creative freedom for your Cinema 4D falloff shapes.
Super Source Falloff is a Cinema 4D plugin that makes it easier to design and animate detailed falloff shapes, giving you more control over your Mograph effectors and many of the newer deformers.
Easily create detailed, irregular, animated falloff shapes – from variable width falloffs to complex multi-object falloff shapes.
Use polygon objects, splines and most primitives to define the edges of your falloffs – all at the same time.
Both points and surfaces of polygons are tested to create more accurate falloffs.
Use up to 40 objects to control the inside and outside edges of your falloffs.
Super Source Falloff will take into account deformers that are applied to your control objects.
Works in mograph effectors and many of the newer built in deformers.
The plants are mainly done using the CINEMA 4D hairmodule and render fast.
The plants need C4D R12+ and the hair-module (MoGraph needed for the demo-scene)
In this tutorial, Tim Clapham takes you through the process of building a controller for a deformer object. In this example we take a null object and then use the position values to drive the strength of a bend deformer with a basic Xpresso setup.
Voxygen is a fast and efficient voxelizing Generator which converts polygon objects into voxelized objects whilst retaining UV coodinates.
I’m pleased to announce the immediate availability of the updates for DeGamma (0.41) and Storm Tracer (1.39.03) for Cinema 4D R14.These new updates are significant rewrites taking advantage of new changes and additions to the Cinema 4D API in R14 that allow for tighter integration and better structures and memory management.
DeGamma 0.41 is now much more tightly integrated with the Physical Renderer, supporting blurry effects such as depth of field within all of the Fishy Distorter lens distortion effects, including “Little World”. This includes features such as custom bokeh shapes and blades.
Meanwhile Storm Tracer 1.39 has had it’s data structures overhauled using the R14 memory management. This means faster render times due to faster pre-passes and lower memory usage when dealing with large particle counts.
In addtion on the PC side the pre-passes have been multi-threaded where possible leading to a further substantial speedup on the Windows platform.
Storm Tracer is available from thirdpartyplugins.com here : http://www.thirdpartyplugins.com/stormtracer/
And DeGamma is also avaialble from thirdpartyplugins.com here : http://www.thirdpartyplugins.com/degamma/
Further information can be found through the above links.
Storm Tracer 1.39 and DeGamma 0.41 are free updates and are available for immediate download by existing customers running Cinema 4D R14. Anyone wishing to update their DeGamma or Storm Tracer serials from an earlier version of Cinema 4D should follow the instructions given on the Third Party forums here :http://forum.thirdpartyplugins.com/…pic.php?f=8&t=3
