! v" t% y: Q) U: TArnold 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.

6 e: \& ]& ?& D- ?/ Q5 Q" M$ sOver 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- o1 `  w% [  gArnold 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.

# K# E' F  Z" r( g9 F+ u2 D% M  CThe 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)
) d# r. O+ j2 e6 A• An interactive rendering and relighting tool

. t6 V$ v5 A* [8 x6 j1 V: SArnold is an unbiased ray/path tracing engine. It doesn't use caching algorithms that introduce artifacts like photon mapping and final gather.

• Seamless integration with C4D: objects (instances, cloners, deformers, generators), MoGraph geometry, hair and splines.
& ~: i3 v4 v$ q- i+ v) H• Support for both native particles and Thinking Particles.
; P' g; Z( \6 j+ V• The fastest interactive rendering (IPR) of all Arnold plugins, allows parameter changes to be rapidly previewed without interrupting your work.
• Arnold Shading Network Editor, a node-based material editor.
1 ?5 b* {* T3 \6 f( u0 M% t• A comprehensive list of shaders and utilities, including vertex maps and per-face materials.
9 ^" W* f" ?: H( _, j' P* U• Volume rendering with OpenVDB.
