Cinema 4D XL R9.5 Advanced Render: The Super Module

Pinhead's Cinema 4D XL R9.5 series continues with Part 4.
' The renderer in Cinema is, without question, the fastest on the market and the efforts that Maxon puts into this module are significant and very noticeable. One of the latest additions being the Sky plugin.
AR's ease of use; features and quality of output make it my renderer of choice. I suspect if you try it, it will be yours.
If you are a masochistic pixel head and enjoy white line brain fever while waiting, perhaps not pour vous. '
Join Pinhead while he seeks gainful employment at the Smellmuck ® Greeting Co. and tours new features in Advanced Render.


To accompany the article Paul and Lee Hasch have written some tutorials to help users get started with the Sky plugin.

As always, we would like to extend our thanks to all of our freestuff contributors for the wonderful items you share with the community.

Free Stuff Spotlight This week's item in the spotlight is TonyHag's Elea Outfit Leather texture. Thanks, Tony for sharing this and all the other items you've contributed to the freestuff areas.

Freestuff Vault
Wandering through the vault can be exhausting at times, so it is always good to find a comfortable chair to sit in. Thank goodness, I ran across Wappen's Armchair for Bryce 5. Just what I needed... Thanks, Jörg, for the break and for all the items you've posted in the Free Stuff areas.

In the News and Header Images
Woodie's been captured by the Rabbit Guard of the Goa'uld Quozl. Alexa and the rest of 3DC-1 went to P3X-DAZ to rescue him, but Alexa got separated from the rest of the team. Now she's trying to find the rest of the team, Woodie, or both, but all these corridors look the same...What's this? Looks like Woodie was able to take out a couple of Rabbit Guards before he was overpowered...Now where is he?

The header was rendered in Poser 6.0 by TonyLynch and features Alexa 2 wearing her catsuit and short boots. Her hair is FK Designs' Kyra hair from Twin fair, Rapsody and Kyra hair for Alexa2. The corridor was constructed using VanishingPoint's Modular Science Fiction Environment. The images in the Gallery Pix are xceiverx's The Final Strike, bazze's Phantom (V2), DolphinsDreams' Within my Dreams, and PaulFrancis' Teton. The chair in the Freestuff Sampler is Wappen's Armchair, mentioned in the Freestuff Vault.
