5 J7 \3 `: T/ o& J& oArnold 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: O) [6 A# y8 j) W! M
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.

  Q- [) d2 v# L) g4 A
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
, o- f: y& S, m& Z! j# a; W• A tool for baking/procedural generation of lighting data (lightmaps for videogames)
4 S# w" o8 h5 O5 Q/ D4 f/ |• An interactive rendering and relighting tool

( h) Z% J% r" d  NWhy is Arnold different?
* b* E  z5 t9 o& t  CArnold is an unbiased ray/path tracing engine. It doesn't use caching algorithms that introduce artifacts like photon mapping and final gather.

Features
