Verge3D for Cinema4D (Call for Discussion)

I am probably at odds with many on this thread regarding C4D and the level of effort needed for Soft8Soft to support another 3D application. I think the level of effort should be put into advancing the verge3d application further rather than trying to find C4D users that might use Verge3d.

Verge3d is missing a lot of really good pipeline development tools. Tools that make puzzle editing easier. A consolidated customizable puzzle library, on and offline. A more streamlined method of installation that allows you to keep your stored puzzles. Not to mention getting Verge3D updated with the latest Blockly. There is so much that can be done to Verge3d that adding another application only slows down the overall growth and expansion of Verge3D itself slowing down its overall growth to be a great platform.

Soft8Soft…make your product way better, charge a little more and make it easy for us to make money with the product. That will drive more sales, for us…and ultimately drive more sales for you.

to Msaporito…..just curious…what did you pay for Blender and why?

To all the C4D users, you can still get your scenes to V3D…just export your projects as FBX and bring them into Blender test, fix issues, export to V3D. Lots of other ways as well…this is just one of many.

I third xeom & johnsmith post. Talking precious develop time away Verge + Blender. I can only imagine the pain of switching away from a 3d app you grew up on to a new one (eg blender) but I can only imagine it will still take less time than Soft8 has to invest to support.

We are thinking about getting sponsorship for this goal (need circa $30-50k to make it happen) on Kickstarter or otherwise.

How about 65K PER month for a Verge3d suite tailored for C4d?? Those dudes are loaded, right? Might also be a group of the most demanding Ds ever too,.

Already might be sounding a little e demanding without the Verge team even singing up for anything😊

I Never personally tried C4d (traditionally was always out of the range of my pocket book) so I just watched a few “best 3d packages ” videos to get a feel. I do really like the strength CS4 for things like motion art, titling animations and I might considered dumping Blender just for it….

IF ONLY ANY OF THAT FANCY stuff would ever translate thru the Verge3d engine to been seen… let alone be renderable on the web browers which is our channel of distribution.

Please keep that in mind pro-C4ds.

The medium here (3d web), is ultimately always constrained the browsers(hardware) of our audiences (just like everything on web), then the verge engine, and last our editing suite.

If the roles were reversed and I was forced to get started (with a free copy of C4D), I too would be like ‘damn if I was home in blender I would go bang bang bang and have that all done sweet!’

It just doesn’t work like that though. I hate the throw out a number lets say only ~10% of cool shit you could do in your 3d suite on a video export will make through to web playback.

It is just how it is. Right now, TODAY, though a combination of basic modeling, texturing, animation, lightening, etc… provided by any 3d 2s-suite, + VERGE + PUZZLES, you are in the 99 percentile off all 3d content on the web today (1% being guys who coded things by hand)

Just go with Blender.. keep everyone on the same page keep things going forward in unison.

We are stronger together than apart.

Just my opinion..

Stay focused on blender! Make Verge 3D work with geometry nodes like they did with altermesh in Unreal – see this and drool: https://altermesh.com The world is changing…
