InterPoser Pro 2.0 in the works!

admin — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 16:24:26 +0000

Okay, it won’t be much more than it is already but (as suggested by the 1.9.9.alpha creep) this will move it rightfully into the next version. Along with some minor improvements and new graphics, there will also be a much more complete Convert feature for R12/R13 which converts IPP morphs into Pose Morph Tag morphs, IPP IK chains into C4D IK chains, improved weights (using Weights tag), XPresso for FBM and PBM morph controls, and, hopefully, a working system to retain conformed clothing with the figure in C4D-compliant fashion. The idea is to have a way to make your Poser figures more C4D-compliant and then exportable using FBX or COLLADA for other purposes if needed (such as other 3D applications or for game engines).

I will also endeavor to update the PDF documentation completely to include all of the missed changes and maybe add some tutorials and how-to’s. The entire PDF document may be turned into an HTML-based reference to replace the limited one currently available.

For existing users of InterPoser Pro 1, there will be a minimal upgrade fee and the need for a new serial number. For new users, the cost will increase slightly from IPP 1. All-in-all, I want to make the upgrade transition as simple as possible.

Unfurl updated for NET Render issue

admin — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 08:27:27 +0000

All Cinema 4D versions of Unfurl have been updated to remove an issue where the plugin requests a serial number when running NET Render Client. It was simply a rebuild and the request has gone away. Same version of Unfurl. … Continue reading →

IvyGrower for Cinema 4D R13 Update

admin — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 11:46:17 +0000

An issue involving fold-able group sections in dialogs has made it impossible to get to certain sections of the IvyGrower tool. This may be a bug in Cinema 4D R13 or a change in behavior which hasn’t been made public yet since the C4D SDK documentation is still unavailable. I’ve gone ahead and just made them regular group sections. Also, the Ivy Size value on the Growth tab will appear 10 times larger than previously. This does not change the internal value but provides an easier interface to this enigmatic setting.

If you have already downloaded the R13 version then please redownload and install this update.

IvyGrower for Cinema 4D R13

IvyGrower is now available for Cinema 4D R13, Windows and MacOS. Many Thanks once again to Martin Hufsky for the MacOS build!

InterPoser Pro 1.9.9s for Cinema 4D R13

admin — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 03:45:52 +0000

The related issues with InterPoser Pro and IvyGrower have been resolved. A full update for Cinema 4D R13 is available for Windows and MacOS. Many Thanks to Martin Hufsky for the MacOS build!

Please note that the Cinema 4D SDK documentation and changes have not been made available yet to plugin developers so there may be unknown issues remaining. If you encounter anything that worked in Cinema 4D R12 that no longer works in Cinema 4D R13, please contact me with the specific information so that issues can be resolved as quickly as possible.

Cinema 4D R13

admin — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 05:09:16 +0000

Currently, most of my R12 plugins appear to work in R13 without any issues. Two of them are in the process of being updated since the R12 version has problems in R13.

InterPoser Pro R12 crashes in C4D R13. R13 builds for Windows have removed this issue and, so far, none others remain. A MacOS build is in the works and may be a few days or more before being ready.

Ivy Grower R12 no longer accepts seed points in R13. I am still awaiting technical support on how to fix this problem and will need to make R13-specific builds thereafter.

You will be notified as these plugins become fully available for download.

Thank you for your patience.

Unfurl update 1.0.2

admin — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 19:03:50 +0000

This update just hides the Unfurl tag in the tag menu. You must use the Unfurl Easy Setup command to add all of the necessary elements and for some preprocessing. The idea was to make it easy.

Unfurl update 1.0.1

admin — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 00:37:30 +0000

The drawing of polygon Gradients has been modified for better display. This is especially true for anyone on MacOS X.

- On a side note, if you are experiencing crashes of Unfurl on MacOS X under Cinema 4D R12 it would be much appreciated if you could contact me with specific information. While I cannot recreate this issue it doesn’t mean that there isn’t a cause. It could be C4D settings or plugin conflicts. We’ll need to help each other to investigate and reveal the actual cause involved.

Thanks!

New Plugin: Unfurl

admin — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 04:35:54 +0000

Avast, ye maties! (okay, enough of the pirate puns already)

A few months back, some Cinema 4D users were marveling at a polygon unfolding technique employed by Taylor James for an advertising campaign. At the time, I was working three jobs and missed the request for doing this in Cinema 4D. When I eventually found the requests and viewed the videos, realizing that no one had taken up the task, Unfurl was born. Enjoy!

Note 1: A video end results is available.

Note 2: Your feedback is always important to me. I am considering alternative methods of setting up the gradient unfolding flow such as vertex maps. If you have an idea please feel free to contact me!
