- [Patrick Goski] In Cinema 4D Release 19 Maxon has begun work on integrating AMD'sProRender. ProRender is an unbiased path tracer that runs on the CPU and GPU andit's written using openCL, which provides the greatest compatibility for usersregardless of their platform.Getting started with ProRender is as easy as choosing ProRenderfrom the render settings and then selecting the view panel that you wish touse as the preview panel and clicking on Start ProRender.Once the preview has started you can begin adjusting your materials and lighting tosee the results show up in the preview.ProRender works hand in hand with the new PBR Material and Light.In fact, it takes the PBR workflow one step further by limiting the availableattributes in the interface, providing you with solid guidance on what settingsaffect the end result, helping you create more realistic materials and lighting withease. The PBR Light sees far more options being locked off.This is because all lighting is based on physically accurate reflections of lightin the scene, which means far more of the light attributes arenot physically plausible.When it comes to working with materials, you will be guided towardsworking with the reflectance channel, but you are not limited to this and you canstill create materials using the color channel. This allows for easy backwardscompatibility between scenes. Most of the utility shaders,like the colorizer or the layer shader are supported, while other shaders,like noises, will be baked into 2D textures, meaning that the change inworkflow between physical and ProRender is minimal.When it comes to rendering your scene, you have a few optionsin the render settings. This is where you'll set up the offline render,better known as rendering to the picture viewer, and the preview,which is what you see in the view panel. For the most part, these two modes sharethe same attributes. This is where you'll be able to change the rendermode, including direct illumination without shadows, and an ambient occlusionrender that can be used for composting later on.You also have control over depth of field, the number of bouncesof light within your scene, the quality of the anti-aliasing, as well as theanti-aliasing filter type, irradiance clamp to control overbright values,as well as the default texture resolution, which controls theresolution of the baked textures for ProRender.Another important feature of the preview render is thepreview resolution. This allows you to downsample the size of the pixels thatare being rendered. While this results in lower quality in the view panel, it canprovide faster updates while working with the materials or lights.When it comes to the offline render, you'll also have optionsfor a firefly filter, which can help eliminate stray bright pixels.There's also options to control what elements in the view panel will berendered. By default, ProRender is going to render progressively and you haveseveral different ways of controlling how that's going to happen.You can set an iteration count, a time limit in seconds,a error threshold, or set it to Never with an iteration count limit.All of these allow precise control over when a render is considered finished.Finally, in the settings you also have the options to control whichgraphics cards are going to be used in the render. If you have multiple GPUs, you'llsee them listed here. If you right-click in the render settings, you'll also getthe option to add a tone mapping effect. This affect gives you controlover the lighting inside of your scene.When using the preview in the view panel, these changes will also beapplied during the render, providing you with a much better idea ofthe effect without waiting for the full render to complete.So, with Cinema 4D R19, ProRender provides everyone a chance toexperience GPU rendering regardless of their hardware platform.Be sure to check out the other videos on cineversity.comto find out more about the other great features in Cinema 4D R19.

Cinema 4D R21 is out! R19 Downloads links at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HfZtg4h-6SDnf2NPHRSMqRGEV-5ZGv0. With the integration of Radeon™ ProRender in 2017, Cinema 4D™ was the first commercial 3D application to integrate a GPU path-tracing renderer based on the OpenCL™ open standard. AMD developed Radeon™ ProRender as a modern uni-directional path-tracing renderer, which provides unbiased rendering, and features GPU acceleration. When you save your.c4d file in a full retail version of CINEMA 4D (not CINEMA 4D Lite R19, which is bundled with After Effects) with Render Settings set to the Physical or Hardware renderer, your file is rendered with those settings when the CINEWARE renderer is set to Current or Current (Draft).
