Dreamworks maintains OpenVBD and it’s supported by many major software companies. And here, is good a place as any to add that OpenVBD, is an open-source C++ library, part of the growing portfolio of open source tools that the VFX community is building for itself. ![]() Volumes created in R20 can be exported sequentially in OpenVBD format and can be used in any application or render engine that supports OpenVBD. Any primitive or polygon object (including the new Fields objects) can be combined to create complex objects using Boolean operations. Volume-based modeling-The OpenVBD-based Volume Builder and Mesher in Cinema 4D R20 offer an entirely new procedural modeling workflow. Effects can be re-mapped and grouped in multiple Fields to control Effectors, Deformers, weights and more. They can be mixed and combined with one another in a layer list. Fields are not limited to the MoGraph feature. With version 20, Maxon has introduced the Fields, which makes it possible to efficiently control the strength of the effect using any combination of falloffs-from simple geometric shapes to shaders and sounds to objects and mathematical formulas. ![]() MoGraph Fields-MoGraph is Maxon’s procedural tool to create motion graphics. The company has added on to its capabilities with an expansion of its Motion Graphics toolset, MoGraph, as well as new volume-based modeling tools, simplified CAD files import and a node-based material system. ![]() Maxon is a 3D modeling and animation tool with a strong presence in the VFX industry and for motion graphics artists. They’ve got that stable cadence down, as befits a German company, though the company has a strong North American presence as well since the US is Cinema 4D’s largest user base. Maxon introduced Cinema 4D release 20 at Siggraph, 2018 this year and rolled out the new software weeks later. Maxon kicks off a new era with a new version of its flagship.
