Thank you so much for taking the time to walk us all through the new cool features of C4D. It always helps a lot to have a visual representation of how stuff is applied 🙏🙌

[nickli]

pretty sure the field driver tag was a simplified version of xpresso setup. In the old xpresso, you can link "falloff" node (which outputs 0-1 values from fields ) with a range mapper and plug it into whatever parameter you want to drive.

I say it with every release, but I swear I wouldn't know what 90% of the updates can actually do for workflows (or how to start using them) if it weren't for this video.

[DBONFIRE]

Thanks for teaching us the new features, Chris!🔥

[miguelmadailfreitas]

Thank you so much for all your insights, Chris! it's crazy how fast all tech and softwares are evolving day by day, and how hard it is to keep up with it all, so kudos for doing all that plus giving so much to the community!

[tobiaslind]

Also, remember that the RKT Field Driver works in older versions of Cinema 4D.

[nuncatto]

Always the best at showing us the new features. It's the first thing I do every single year after seeing the announcements. Doing Gods work, Chris.

[andrearusky]

Wow I can't believe Maxon finally fixed that pre-roll issue with delay effectors! It was about time!!!

[KidVector]

This is no criticism of you Chris, but it boggles my mind that Maxon can be working on and also naming something like Field Drivers and that you have no visibility on it given that a) you're a C4D expert b) you're a C4D evangelist c) you're a C4D plug-in developer d) You're a C4D asset browser content creator!

At an absolute minimum they should be consulting with you on what features you'd find valuable in future releases. They might well have done in the past, but really they should have you on retainer, given how valuable your insights would be. And in this case avoided a lot of duplication of work.

Finally no more Blend Cloners! Field Drivers to the rescue! That was one of my most used setups for my environments, and it was superslow especially with custom rigs, User Data, XPresso etc.

[zovguagnelli]

I stopped using Springs, and Blend with the Delay Effector in 2014. It's great that only 10 years later, the Force PreRoll feature has been implemented, now I may start using them again.

[abinari]

preroll is perfect for cloud rendering scenes with fields and effectors (especially the lovely delay effector)

[adamtubak]

thank you chris.. you are making getting back into doing more in cinema after a hiatus a joy!

[simontrickfilmer]

I wish they do more workflow tools. Like implement theyr own snap move tool, or the transformtool by michael welter or a better solo.

[eddytheeditor]

Cheers Chris. Your breakdowns of new features are very much appreciated!

[neoqueto]

Force Pre-Roll is probably the BEST part of this update

[ahmeduzair]

your tutorials always help me understand the newer updates to its absolute depth . i am eternal thankful for it .

[MrSheduur]

For the past couple releases they have added these toys and situational things, yet they still have not done anything worthwhile for character animation improvements. So many years now where there was basically nothing for that. We all know that C4D will not be the big rival to Maya in that regard, but they should at least add something that brings things up to speed. Even Blender is better now in this area...

[has.studio]

Chris, thank you so much for making this video.

[pushcreativity]

Like clockwork, you upload the video I always absolutely go to first, the What's New video 👍
