With the release of XL 7.1 an advanced shader system has been included, SLA 2.5, which gives extreme control over the Material editor along with new powerful Volume Shaders. This tutorial will go over a technique that can be used to create a realistic nebula using only the bhodiNUT Channel Shaders. This tutorial was based off of the actual Orion Nebula.

With the release of XL Version 7 comes a powerful new set of features to create more realistic imagery. Among these new features are caustics, which are formed by light being reflected or transmitted by a number of specular (shiny) surfaces before interacting with a diffuse (light scattering) surface. The light cast onto a dining table by a wine glass is one of the most common examples of caustics. This tutorial is more of a quick start guide for helping new users set up the basics to add caustic effects to their images.

One of the many exciting additions to CINEMA 4D XL Version 6 is the new sound rendering capability. The Sound Renderer is a powerful tool that renders out "wav" files based upon Microphone and Loadspeaker positions in CINEMA 4D XL scenes. In this tutorial, we will show an example of how you can use this great new feature; a scene of a jet cruising by.

Since you can’t actually have particles travel along a spline in the current version of CINEMA 4D, you can create a workaround by emitting a spline with your particle object aligned to it. Here is a simple example of how you can set this up in your scene.

You've just spent hours modeling a perfect snake and you need it to slither just a short distance. Well, you could use bones to animate it, or if you happen to have made your snake with a loft NURBS you can have each segment follow a defined spline path and offset the sequences. That all sounds like a lot of work though. Here is a very quick method of getting your snake to move with a simple, neat slither motion.
