Solid Angle Cinema 4D to Arnold 3.1.0 | 1.7 Gb
The Arnoldrenderer product team is pleased to announce the availability of Arnold (C4DtoA) 3.1.0 for Cinema4D. This release introduces a new Arnold Scatter object, viewport proxy settings for procedurals and includes several changes in the Tx texture workflow.

C4DtoA 3.1.0 is a major feature release, that uses Arnold 6.0.4.0.

Enhancements

Arnold in the main menu bar: Arnold is now moved to the main application menu bar instead of the default Plugins/Extensions menu. A new option is added to the Preferences to control the location of the Arnold menu (main menu bar vs Plugins/Extensions menu). (c4dtoa#1553)


Arnold Scatter object: A new Arnold Scatter object is available in the plugin menu to distribute instances over a selected surface. (c4dtoa#1618)

Viewport proxy in Arnold Procedural: Procedurals have a new option to use a proxy geometry in the viewport to achieve a better frame rate and save memory. The proxy mesh is generated with the native Optimize command which expects a tolerance distance input. (c4dtoa#828)

Tx generation mode in Preferences and Render Settings: Auto-convert textures to tx and Use existing tx files options are merged into a Tx Generation mode option. Possible values are auto (default), manual, or none. The default mode is specified in the Preferences which can be overruled in the Render Settings of specific scenes if needed. (c4dtoa#1614)

- Convert textures to Tx in the background in the IPR: When Tx Generation mode is set to auto, the IPR now generates Tx files in the background and does not block the UI. The render does not start until the Tx files are generated, yet users can work freely in the scene during this time. (c4dtoa#1584 c4dtoa#1625)
- Tx update status in Tx Manager: The Tx manager now shows if a Tx texture needs to be updated, e.g. the original image is modified, color space settings or other maketx options have been changed, etc. This works only if the default (auto tx) maketx options are enabled. (c4dtoa#1617)
- Specify color space when generating Tx files from a folder: Textures from a folder are now listed in the Tx Manager allowing users to specify color space per texture and convert only selected files. (c4dtoa#1665)
- Switch between Tx and original texture in Tx Manager: New options added to the Path... button on the toolbar to replace selected textures with Tx or restore the original path in case the file exists. (c4dtoa#1670)
- Update IPR when the viewport is not visible: Now the IPR updates properly even if the viewport is closed or behind another tab. The only limitation is that there are no updates while changing a slider, only when the slider is released. (c4dtoa#1636)
- Export absolute paths: A new option is added to the Scene Export dialog to always export assets with absolute paths if enabled, even if paths are defined relative in the scene. (c4dtoa#1640)
- Unified displacement, normal_map, and vector_map shader UI: These shaders now have the same layout. (c4dtoa#1678)
- Logging improvements: A header is printed now to the console to separate logs of each render calls. (c4dtoa#1677)

Arnold Enhancements

- Automatic file path remapping: String parameter values can now be automatically modified according to the OS Arnold is running on. For example, this is useful when the artist workstations are running Windows but the renderfarm nodes are running Linux. Configuration is done with a JSON file that contains the strings to search and replace for each OS. This configuration file can be selected through the ARNOLD_PATHMAP environment variable. (#9311) For example:

Rim light control for the Toon shader: A new rim_light_tint float parameter was added to the toon shader to tint the color of the rim light using the base color of the surface. See the full documentation. (#9003)

Performance improvements on Windows with many cores and texture-heavy scenes: Several performance improvements have been made, particularly for those running Windows, using many cores, tiff based textures, and/or reading many textures/sec. Expected speedups can be anywhere from a few percent to orders of magnitude faster on many-core Windows machines. (#9515, #9685, #9686, #9695, #9709, #9761) For a medium complexity scene that uses exr based .tx textures we get the following speedups on Windows :

- String parameter path metadata: A new path metadata can be assigned to string parameters to give specific hints about how they will be handled. Currently available values are: file, folder and folderlist. Arnold will expand environment variables, apply the remapping, and handle backslashes on string parameters with the metadata. (#4969)
- AA_adaptive_threshold in log: The options.AA_adaptive_threshold used is now output in the log file. (#9841)
- Upgraded OSL: Arnold now uses OSL 1.11.6 bringing multiple optimizations and bug fixes, see the full list of changes. (#8917)

GPU Enhancements

- Global AOV shaders: The aov_shader option is now supported on GPU. This option defines a list of shaders that the renderer will evaluate after the regular surface shader. With this, it's possible to add shaders to set specific AOVs without modifying the original shader tree. See the option documentation. (#9394)
- Initial support for attributes in OSL: You can now retrieve user data bound to shapes via the getattribute function or via a lockgeom parameter attribute. This initial implementation still has some limitations when compared to the CPU implementation. Queryable attributes are currently restricted to those bound to the current shaded shape and attributes of the active render camera. Querying node parameters is also not yet supported. (#9666)
- Initial support for tracing in OSL: You can now use the trace function to trace rays in OSL shaders along with the getmessage function to retrieve information regarding any intersected object. This initial implementation has the restriction that you cannot yet query parameters on an intersected object. (#9797)

Arnold for Cinema4D (C4DtoA) supports most Cinema 4D features such as instances, cloners, deformers, generators, MoGraph geometry, hair, and ThinkingParticles. It also supports both animation and single frame distributed rendering in Team Render, allowing the use of all computers in a local network to speed-up Arnold rendering. Third-party plugins TurbulenceFD and X-Particles are natively supported, allowing artists to render high quality smoke, fire, and particle effects with fully interactive feedback. Other features include volume rendering with OpenVDB, a node-based material editor and a comprehensive list of shaders and utilities, including vertex maps and per-face materials.

Solid Angle SL is the technology company behind the Arnold rendering software, with offices in Madrid and London and customers throughout the world including Framestore, DreamWorks, ILM, Sony Pictures Imageworks, MPC, The Mill, Mikros Image and Rising Sun Pictures. Arnold was designed from the ground up to efficiently raytrace the complex geometric datasets required for feature*-length CGI animation and big* budget visual effects, while at the same time simplifying the pipeline, reducing the number of passes, minimizing storage requirements and greatly enhancing interactivity for lighting artists.
