Another R13 wip

2011-09-07T09:18:00.000-07:00

Here my new test on r 13 renderer. Model By Massimo Storari - Reality Studio

Cinema4D r 13 is cool

2011-09-07T03:00:00.000-07:00

Another little doodle ... made in a little pause with sculptris and Cinema4D r 13 ... new sss is cool!

hello,
this is a simple asset made in mograph and coffee node!

very simple but it work! :)

not working time!

2011-07-11T13:41:00.000-07:00

Questa volta scrivo in italiano ..... andiamo alla fine è il mio blog, posso vero?
okkei oggi è lunedì e durante il week end ho fatto una lunga riflessione su come bisognerebbe occupare il proprio tempo libero.
A parte il dedicare tempo alla famiglia, cosa molto importante, sarebbe opportuno dedicarsi alle proprie passioni, ai propri interessi, tutto quelle attività che rilassano insomma.
Qui però il problema è diverso, perche ? Perchè la tua passione è il tuo lavoro sei veramente fottutissimo, si ho detto fottutissimo!
Come si fa .... uno ci prova ad appassionarsi alla cucina o a riprendere in mano la chitarra ma poi dopo poche spadellate o schitarrate ti ritrovi li a pensare a codice ... shader o a leggere serenamente un libro su RenderMan!
Ma tutti gli altri come cavolo fanno... in realtà per come sono messo il not working time non esiste.... ma solo per colpa mia .... probabilmente sono fatto male!

Again Advanced Render

HEllo Here my little ArchViz Test.

Cinema4D SpeedMud Ar and Degamma no PostWork

Franz

2010-03-25T03:10:00.001-07:00

Hello all,

i am testing some new speedmud features and i build this little scene!

during this test i was angry to retest Advanced render Renderer from maxon!
only think i can say.... for this kind of shot is very good.
lighting is done by only sky object, used qmc GI and resolut is very cool, after 10 minutes of work :)
now i'dd like to play again with this engine to finsh this pic ... meaby i'll post some new wip.

bye bye

Franz

2010-02-14T12:19:00.000-08:00

Hello all,
AND FINALY SPEEDMUD IS RELEASED!!!!! :)
i am very happy for first user FeedBack.... and suggestion.
i have to say many thanks to a lot of user have buyed SpeedMud... this is a very good things to support future development!

now i have to complete CineThea (cinema4d to TheaRender Exporter) and some CG works and then i have a very full todo list on document called SpeedMud 1.1 ToDo!

all the best
Franz

On the way of documentation

2010-01-12T05:48:00.001-08:00

I AM HERE

2009-11-26T00:29:00.000-08:00

Hello all,

is a lot of time i don't post on blog... but i am still on Speedmud work.

Betatesting is strarted and i hope to release as soon an possible :)
here another little video, ( not very good is very difficoult for me to draw in little window during recording ).

www.kekko3d.com/FileFranz/SM/test2.mov

Here key feature already implemented :

Coordinate system and spaces (cartesian, polar, word and delta)

numerical draw (polyline, quad, circle, arc, 3 point arc, outlined or not)

numerical move ( form point to point)

dynamic guide trcing

point snap

edge snap

projection snap

Manual snap (disatance, subdivision, midpoint)

intersection with guide and edge, guide guide

standard draw plane

interactive draw plane

custom draw plane (3 point)

interactive grid

polygon insertion

automatic welding

automatic add edge point

distance quantization

Extrusion (extern or hole)

sigle segment undo

undo

current layer

and this is only the start ;)

hope you like it

Spline Snappig and guide intersection

2009-07-26T07:26:00.001-07:00

Hello all... some optimization,

Added spline snapping support and interactive intersection for dynamic guide.

here the video:

http://www.kekko3d.com/FileFranz/SM/guide_intersection.mov

Ciaoooooooo!

Welcome Dynamic Guide System

2009-07-08T07:18:00.000-07:00

Hello all,

from my first implementation of angular snapping i rewrite a new complete Dynamic Guide System.

guides are created from last traced point and from special point called Hotspot (green in my video).

this guides are created at global angular interval + parallel an perpendicular to the edges in between of hotspots.

hotspots are created on snapping point by pressing space bar, an hotspot is automatically created on last tracing point.

intersection and special point on guide are not already implemented.

www://www.kekko3d.com/FileFranz/SM/Interactive_guide_basic.mov

IMPORTANT : interface are not finished, don't worry about it.

hard working on

2009-07-01T04:44:00.000-07:00

Hello here some new 2 step in development :)

first is parallel and perpendicular snapping, for this i started to implement intersections algorithms and interactive guideline new functions.

http://www.kekko3d.com/FileFranz/SM/parallel_perpendicular.mov

Then i developed new interactive draw plane, connected with Standard Cinema4D Construction Plane Object. Perhaps a better solution to do this will be make my own Construction plane Object, but this will be the new step.

http://www.kekko3d.com/FileFranz/SM/interactive_plane.mov

At the same time i am rewriting a lot of core feature to make possible to subdivide it in different tool plugin, to have a better approach and C4D like Workflow ( shortcuts, menu and toolbar chance).

hope you like it

Franz

one more little step...

2009-06-18T07:42:00.000-07:00

hi All,

new guideline and angular snapping absolute and relative.

here a little video:

http://www.kekko3d.com/FileFranz/SM/guiline_anglesnap_Test.mov

.......and outline polygon is here!

2009-06-14T23:20:00.001-07:00

Hello first implementation of outlined poly ;)

rumors called speedmud!?!?

2009-05-31T22:58:00.000-07:00

i think some people want it!

but is a secret... is a very huge project in my bag.

if anyone is interested maybe i'll post some preview :)

And Now ?

2009-03-21T16:19:00.001-07:00

after some work i released 2 free TakeTool update and new Free plugin called LightMorph.

now i wont to come back in depth in 3d art for some times.

lasts moths i work a lot on develop stuff but now i need to come back on my personal work and ..... of course on my new video tutorial.

hope can show you something very soon.

But i don't stop to increase new features and usability on TT, in many case better idea born during hard work and deadline :)

working TT 1.1

2009-02-22T23:43:00.001-08:00

Now i am working on TT 1.1!
i am currently work on:
new parameters overrides system
new coordinate overrides system
new material swapping workflow ( change material in different take, with this you can have for example same scene with AR and Vray materials in same file)
batch rendering feature
TakeWizard Creation, to manage towsend of override during take creation.
hope i release very soon !

TT news

My l Taketool commercial version is very soon ( hope 1 -1-2009).

Now TakeTool can store render settings, PostEffects, camera and object enabling , and overrides on all object, material, and tag, and support completely VrayforC4d 1.1.

TakeTool 1,0 will be available for Mac and Win platform, both 32 and 64 bit, and is compatible with Cinema4D 10.5, and 11.

Here a litle feature list:

-take and subtake support, every subtake get parent take attributes

-animable takes ( think about TakeTool like an advanced stage object)

-complete suport for advanced render (also v3)

-complete support for sketch&toon (material settings and tag)

-complete support for vrayforC4d (material, settings and tag)

-file generation utility for batch rendering

stay tuned best Franz

TTnews

2008-06-14T14:45:00.000-07:00

hi all,
after a lot of work on my TT, i want to show some new feature and workflow.
in first version you must to change a lot of standard workflow to use take tool, now you should simply create a new take and work!
now takes ca nsave render settings and you can create local override fot tag and object to store different settings for light generator and tag for evry take. ;)
tomorrow i will upload a video sample ;)
New TT will be called TakeItEasy and it will be released very soon (afeter some test) FOR FREE.
Obiusly all suggestion is welcome!
This will be The last Expresso/coffee version of my tool, next release will be complete copiled version to have better performance and no limitation.

Please watch the video to understand the workflow.

Every comments for future develop are very welcome .

Cinema4D 10.x is required
