Hey Paul, nice work with all the T4D tutorials. I haven't got to watch any of them yet but I plan on it. You are cranking them out fast! I need to upgrade my home PC to a i7! Also, I just donated about 5 US dollars its not much but it's something I suppose. Keep up the hard work.

Thanks for the donation ever bit helps The 8 threads are really well used by t4d but cinema 4d is showing it's age by not having particles dynamics etc making use of all cores. Most people have dual cores and some have quads multi threaded plugins for heavy simulations are a must !!

[triplej96]

Your welcome and you are certainly right about C4D's TP showing its age. I suppose I can keep dreaming for a TP update.

I doubt very much if we will see a TP upgrade to rival TP in Max, the max version is made and maintained by cebas, i think maxon bought their version of pyrocluster and TP from cebas and so i don't think cebas has any intention of updating them and i doubt if maxon have the expertise to do so or would be willing to pay cebas to do so

To many people swallow the marketing hype for maxon TP believing in it's "awesome" power, it is clunky, outdated, and difficult to understand.. but it is what we have !! I would prefer they went with a more PFlow like system

[triplej96]

Sadly, that appears to be the case. I'm with you a PFlow like system would be awesome for C4D!

I was one of the people that swallowed the marketing hype for TP and Pyrocluster. In fact they were selling points to me I thought it was the same as Max's TP. Honestly if I knew that up front I may have bought MAX instead or at least first since its geared more toward a vfx artist.

On positive note at least we have T4D now.

Yes i am playing with the new early bird beta and it has some impressive improvements not least live preview that can show the sim preview render when scrubbing the timeline, you also get live updates to any shader changes you make, color etc. It also has adaptive grids !!

[triplej96]

Yep, I'm using the same build. Quite impressive. Also, C4D's native particles can now be emitters. Though, it seems when I try to use the new f-curve levels for shading my system crashes.

The fcurve seems to be stable for me but a bit "laggy", however i just pull and drag around as i am not that clued up on it !!
