Arnold 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.

& ]% V( n) x: J  X3 @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.

# l, Q1 q3 }% ]: ~# y( ~Arnold 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.

# _* G# j( C+ A, R( A. W0 bThe 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

Why is Arnold different?
" q0 z* _: J9 E" N+ }$ T1 Z9 o/ s* M" iArnold is an unbiased ray/path tracing engine. It doesn't use caching algorithms that introduce artifacts like photon mapping and final gather.
