NEWS FROM MAXON

Free CINEMA 4D R9.52 Update - Also available for 64-bit

MAXON, November 23, 2005 - Software developer MAXON is pleased to announce a free upgrade for CINEMA 4D Release 9.5. In addition to a number of bug fixes, this update boasts over a dozen optimized features and additional improvements. Since MAXON was the first developer worldwide to release a 64-bit version of its software, CINEMA 4D R9.52 is also available in 64-bit!

The R9.52 update includes such improvements as changes to the Content Browser that make it even easier to use, expanded drag & drop functionality and an improved menu structure, making this easy to learn application even more efficient. In addition, a new shader has been added to CINEMA 4D - the ChamLum shader. This shader illuminates the surface of objects with a soft, slightly fuzzy look - great for rendering realistic skin. Furthermore, a Content Browser library containing shaders, light setups and a bunch of useful goodies is also available for free download.
