CINEMA 4D RELEASE 18 COMPLETE FEATURE LIST

• New Quaternions workflow
  • There is now a Quaternions group in the Coordinates tab
  • The key attributes for Quaternion Rotations have a new option for Quaternion Interpolation types. The user can choose between different interpolation presets there.
• Constraints workflow
  • Parent Constraint
    • The new “Local Offset” attributes field presents the internal offset that the constrained object will have with the “parent” targets
    • New Interactive Transform checkbox allowing the user to interactively edit the constrained parameters
    • New Record button provides an easy way to keyframe the Local Offset and Strength values of the targets
    • Negative scales and constraints are now supported
    • New Parent Constraint parameters
      • “Local Offset” are animatable parameters representing the offset the target (parent) has from the constrained object (child)
      • “Interactive Local Offset” is a checkbox that enables the user to interactively adjust constrained parameters and have the Local Offsets update to the new adjustments
      • “Auto-Reset (Legacy)” is the Auto-Reset mode which is now implemented as a Legacy mode, for compatibility reasons with old scenes
      • “Update Local Offsets” is a new cycle button that will allow to update the Local Offsets based on the constrained object’s coordinates, or setting one of the Targets as a new main target. This will allow for a seamless transition to that target.
