4.0.3 - Arnold for Cinema4d
01 Feb 2022
C4DtoA 4.0.3 uses Arnold 7.0.0.2 and is a minor feature release bringing support for the User Data tag and a number of bug fixes.
Note: Known issues in the legacy Arnold Shader Network Editor since Cinema 4D S24:
- Drag & drop nodes to the node editor does not work as expected:
- Drag & drop an Arnold Material to create a reference. A Cinema 4D Object Operator node is created instead of an Arnold Material reference node.
- Drag & drop an object to create an object reference. A Cinema 4D Object Operator node is created instead of an Arnold object node.
- Drag & drop a Vertex Map to create a Vertex Map shader. A Cinema 4D Object Operator node is created instead of an Arnold Vertex Map shader.
- Ctrl + drag a shader in the node editor in S24 creates two copies instead of one. shift + drag and Shift + Alt + drag does not work.
Installation
- Download the Arnold for Cinema4D plugin
- Follow these installation instructions .
System Requirements
Cinema 4D
- R21.026 and above
- R23.008 and above
- S24.111 and above
- R25.010 and above
Windows 10 or later, with the Visual Studio 2019 redistributable.
Linux with at least glibc 2.17 and libstdc++ 4.8.5 (gcc 4.8.5). This is equivalent to RHEL/CentOS 7.
macOS 10.13 or later.
CPUs need to support the SSE4.1 instruction set. Apple Mac models with M series chip are supported under Rosetta 2 mode.
GPU rendering works on Windows and Linux only and requires an NVIDIA GPU of the Ampere, Turing, Volta, Pascal, or Maxwell architecture. We recommend using the 470.74 or higher drivers on Linux and 472.12 (Quadro), 472.12 (GeForce), or higher on Windows. See Arnold GPU for more information.
Optix™ denoiser requires an NVidia GPU with CUDA™ Compute Capability 5.0 and above.
Enhancements
- User Data tag: User data attributes defined on a Cinema 4D User Data tag, assigned to the object or its parents, are now exported to Arnold. (C4DTOA-2205)
