NaviCam For C4D
NaviCam - Cinema4D Plugin from Holger Biebrach on Vimeo.
NaviCam is a Plugin for Cinema4D. It enhances the camera-navigation inside the editorview vastly. Just point with your mouse on any spot in your scene, NaviCam will jump right to that spot, centers it and sets the camera-pivot. Editing a 3D-scene becomes faster and makes more fun.
If you have ever worked with a SpaceMouse, you know how an improved camera-navigation can speed up your workflow. Think about the amount of time you spend moving and rotating your camera-view. The advantage of NaviCam is, that you don´t need any hardware device, so you can keep your fingers on the keyboard.
But even in combination with a SpaceMouse, NaviCam works perfectly and turns it into a powerfull team-play.

MAXON releases CINEBENCH 11.5
What is MAXON CINEBENCH?
CINEBENCH is a real-world cross platform test suite that evaluates your computer's performance capabilities. CINEBENCH is based on MAXON's award-winning animation software CINEMA 4D, which is used extensively by studios and production houses worldwide for 3D content creation. MAXON software has been used in blockbuster movies such as Spider-Man, Star Wars, The Chronicles of Narnia and many more.
CINEBENCH is the perfect tool to compare CPU and graphics performance across various systems and platforms (Windows and Mac OS X). And best of all: It's completely free.
Who Should Use MAXON CINEBENCH?
Anyone who needs to evaluate hardware performance should add MAXON CINEBENCH to the test tool arsenal.System administrators can use CINEBENCH to help make purchase decisions, journalists can use the results in reviewing hardware, hardware manufacturers may utilize the feedback in optimizing their latest products - or just any computer owner can evaluate his or her individual system. Unlike abstract benchmarks, which only test specific functions of CPUs or GPUs, CINEBENCH offers a real-world benchmark incorporating a user's common tasks within CINEMA 4D to measure a system's performance. For those who have to do a serious amount of testing CINEBENCH R11.5 also provides a command line option, allowing users to run automated test procedures.

Getting Choppy
I decided to have a go at creating a choppy sea animation using Cinema 4D, Photoshop, HDR Shop and After Effects.
After Effects filters are as follows: Vignetting lighting, lens blur, levels, curves.
I used the standard Cinema 4D render, but i will try out a V-Ray scene quite soon when i get time!

V Ray for C4D Sun Guide
Yesterday i was playing around with the V Ray sun light! i some times i can not seem to get the light positioning right so i tried out using the sun expression that comes with Cinema 4D.
I have created a little test scene you can play with the lighting and get quick renders! but i have also left the buildings in there to see what the sun looks like with larger detailed objects.
The Sun Expression has most of the real world values latitude and longitude along with the date & time.
Above shows a little guide i have made the time is set to around 1:30 in the afternoon and the coordinates are supposed to be set to the north pole.
Latitude 90, 0 , 0 N
Longitude 0, 0 , 0 E or W
I wouldn't say that the guide i have made reflects real world positioning but if it helps you then that good to me!
Please let me know if it helps you!

The V Ray sun parameters basically what they do!
