/ E0 Y: X7 K( S" b9 t* E& U7 {, _6 n4 JArnold for Cinema 4D (C4DtoA) provides a bridge to the Arnold renderer from within the standard Cinema 4D interface. Arnold is a global illumination system incorporating modern ray tracing and physically based shading techniques. Arnold offers greater speed, more power and higher quality. This gives studios using Arnold a distinct competitive advantage - especially in big-budget productions.

Over the past few years, Arnold has been used to create unique visual effects in major VFX feature films, animated features, and high-end commercial projects. Sony Pictures Imageworks was the catalyst for the professional adoption of the product and will use Arnold in all upcoming films.

  h( {1 }5 {! A; BArnold uses cutting-edge algorithms that make the most effective use of your computer’s hardware resources: memory, disk space, multiple processor cores, and SIMD/SSE units.

4 y0 _2 T/ ~) w. }The Arnold architecture was designed to easily adapt to existing pipelines. It is built on top of a pluggable node system; users can extend and customize the system by writing new shaders, cameras, filters and output driver nodes, as well as procedural geometry, custom ray types and user-defined geometric data. The primary goal of the Arnold architecture is to provide a complete solution as a primary renderer for animation and visual effects. However, Arnold can also be used as:
• A ray server for traditional scanline renderers
• A tool for baking/procedural generation of lighting data (lightmaps for videogames)
• An interactive rendering and relighting tool

/ s2 y" }# d. \% uArnold is an unbiased ray/path tracing engine. It doesn't use caching algorithms that introduce artifacts like photon mapping and final gather.

Features
• Seamless integration with C4D: objects (instances, cloners, deformers, generators), MoGraph geometry, hair and splines.
• Support for both native particles and Thinking Particles.
: H: v& {6 ?. ^• The fastest interactive rendering (IPR) of all Arnold plugins, allows parameter changes to be rapidly previewed without interrupting your work.
6 l8 {+ b/ F: G  e2 j% o. s8 V/ D! `• Arnold Shading Network Editor, a node-based material editor.
• A comprehensive list of shaders and utilities, including vertex maps and per-face materials.
  _& T% d: U1 d% n; D  o5 U• Volume rendering with OpenVDB.
• Deferred, render time generation of geometry with the Arnold procedural node.
• Native linear workflow.

( w9 t1 e: t8 cENHANCEMENTS
, @$ [' L. v- x6 V$ d- Display Arnold Light in the viewport
- Display Arnold Sky in the viewport
- Optimize Arnold Sky in IPR
$ L' s% v2 i0 T& T) |7 I* Z- Select light type directly from the plugin menu
/ y: E5 Z& p2 p- Make Arnold Light work with the C4D Lighting tool
7 {3 T9 g# F; ^9 o% ]  C9 i# M- Add a namespace option to ASS export

FIXES
* t* a1 j& B8 @5 B* W' U0 o- Arnold Sky rotation export is wrong
% r- ~$ {/ T! f7 e; o. E- Crash on quit when the Tx Manager window is docked
" o* R7 O) l8 p1 n9 O- Crash when IPR is redirected to the viewport and viewport is maximized
- IPR does not update when moving Focus Object of the camera
- Wrong ASS export using simulators (e.g. Emitter)
- Change label of standard.dispersion_abbe
- Fixed shadow opacity in shadow matte shader
- Show correct output data type in network editor
' B5 E# O( [- u* `9 j) C( E' N- Bring the network editor window to the front when clicking open
0 g; B  ^/ o, c) t- Crash when rendering xpTrail in Constraint mode with motion blur
NOTES
