This new plug-in complements the CINEMA 4D composition import the combination of these two plug-ins allow motion graphics artists working on Windows and Mac OS X to exchange data to and from both applications.
So all in all, your repeated assertions that we are somhow morons for not gleefully lapping up your schtick and comparing us to the office intern in an attempt to belittle people just underlines why I am going to f&ck adobe right off and go to some of their competitors who likely can afford to actually pay for some genial customer support staff and whose manuals I will probably choose not to read, as is my perogative.MAXON Computer announced the availability of a new plug-in for Adobe After Effects CS5 and CS5.5 that allows motion graphics artists to export projects directly into CINEMA 4D R13.
Martin was absolutely right in saying we shouldn't be expected to read the entire user manual for every piece of software before installation, which is absurd, I was right in saying it is standard practice to include a warning in the installer, and yes it is a legitimate legal/security concern because various legislations might force companies in certain sectors to vet maxon prior to installation. It's probably a frustrating thread because of a choice by yourselves very early on to criticise people for installing software before reading the whole user manual cover to cover as if we are being handed out this great tool by the kind hearted charity of the saint of adobes goodwill and we're too much of a bunch of feckless dossers to appreciate it.
Seeing as Microsoft see it fit to make my machine part of a distribution network for their software updates, it seems entirely possible that Adobe may be trying to do the same thing, and given the legal and financial implications of the installation of 3rd party software the lack of notification could give rise to serious legal issues. Is it, or is it not allowing my machine to be pooled hardware without my explicit consent to do so? Your response handily evades the question of whether this is potentially adding a backdoor for the users computer to be pooled into a server farm. I also find it highly odd that organisations with a near monopoly in software need to have unpaid users who are not employed by said firm to provide support on their software and yet defend their actions with a somewhat militant perspective rather than said firm aknowledging and dealing with the cause for complaint. If you dont know much about Eduard Mykhailov, be sure. It is even more amazing that he chooses to share that content with the community, so we can all continue to learn and grow as motion designers. It is truly amazing the amount of content that Eduard has made over the years. At least, that's what reputable firms do. Amazing Turtle Animation Breakdown Using After Effects And Cinema 4D. Personally I think it is well established within the software industry to include a warning on installation about 3rd party software and give users an opt in/out during installation. But, I’ve got a ponderous list of other things to do, so that was a rainy-day thing. I’ll probably just uninstall After Effects, since I only installed it to play with it, and discover that I can use it for. Is this going to compete in a resource wrenching way?!? Inquiring computer geeks what to know! The dilemma? That I have to establish a Maxon presence just to find out if Maxon has established a de facto presence on my PC!
I want to find out if this “Render Farm” thing is Opt-In, or is my PC going to, now, be thrust into render-service, by default?!? And, if so, how “nice” will it be? I mean, I already use my PC for CPU/GPU intensive things. Whew !?įurther frustration and incredulity when opening Maxon Cinema 4D, only to be confronted with a Second Party authentication layer!?!? Why isn't it an Adobe Cloud authentication?!? You mean I have to establish an account with Maxon, to use an Adobe product?!?
So I Googled, and learned, first, that " Team Render" is all about adding my Computer to a Render Farm!?! Wait, WHAT?!?! Then further pawing through the search results revealed the connection to Adobe and ultimately to After Effects. That was my reaction this morning, when I saw the entries in my "Recently Added" list:
