Xfrog 4.3 for CINEMA 4D R 10
Saturday, August 16, 2008 6:08
Xfrog 4.3 adds a number of procedural Objects to CINEMA 4D. By combining these Objects with each other and with any other Object within CINEMA 4D you can quickly build a wide variety of organic models and animations.
The Branch Object is for easily setting up elaborate multi-level branching structures with numerous parameters to give them a natural look.
The Phyllotaxis Object arranges other Objects on an abitrary surface of revolution, according to the rules of nature (golden section). It is, for example, used in the sunflower example above to arrange petals and seeds.
The Hydra Object arranges Objects in a circular pattern.
The Curvature Object creates Splines which can be used as a basis for naturally curved leafs or twigs.
The Variation Object allows you to use multiply different Objects with Branch, Phyllotaxis and Hydra.
The Tropism Object lets your spline-based objects (like the Branch, but also the CINEMA 4D SweepNURBS) bend towards an abitrary direction or position.
The Deviation Object is a simple way to add natural detail to your Branches, by deviating a Branch Object at the places where other Branches emerge.
Combining these powerful new Objects together with existing Objects enables you to easily create complex organic models and animation far beyond the existing capabilities of CINEMA 4D software.
