After an update, the Connector Object may now support Rigid Body Simulations dynamic objects. Additionally, this release includes Aerodynamic Forces, which enable the definition of lift and drag effects. Caching simulations become more flexible with support for external caches for all types of simulations.

2. Revolutionary Particle System

One of the main features of this upgrade is the new Cinema 4D Particles system. With just a basic logic tree configuration, users can design complex particle systems. Shot, steady, and pulse emission controls are available for forms, meshes, and splines. A GPU-accelerated particle toolset coupled with the Unified Simulation System is also supported by the system.

3. Property Transfer

Transferring tag information from one item to another is simple with the Property Transfer feature. Point, Edge, and Polygon Selections, Vertex Map, Vertex Color, Normal, and UV tags are among the supported tags.

4. Asset Browser Improvements

The Asset Browser now automatically triggers the Place tool while dragging assets to a scene and instantly creates auto-generated dome lights for HDRI assets.

This update is highly recommended for all 2024 users. It empowers 3D VFX artists and motion designers to create complex scenes with ease. For more detailed information, please refer to the official Maxon support page.
