an update to the mac mini was announced so early in the rumours that i thought it can not be true because the mac mini never received such a frequent update, instead i believed them which made me waiting and waiting and waiting you get the picture. Hi one thing i learned is not to trust the rumours and make your own brain. cinemas only real weak point is Nurbs Surfaces which are ridiculous, using them let alone modelling with them is catastrophe, though SuBD former Hypernurbs is terrific, something Rhino could improve on either at least in matters of modelling with them. I learned Maya later at my university, torturing myself through the lessons i did some work but switched back to cinema which is way easier to handle and has the same tool set.

the reputation seems to have confined it so much that people informing them selves about which software to use are being told by people not knowing the software and just talking over read up opinions, that Cinema is basically just for Motion Graphics which is a serious understatement and seems to persists just like the neverending mac windows debate.Ĭinema was one of the first, if not the first commercial tool which allowed to paint directly onto the surface with the tool named bodypaint. rather than knotting my brain into grasshopper.īut that also created quite a bit of a shadow over its actually abilities which are no less than Maya or any other comparable Software out there. which is also the reason i still use it as a formfinding instrument. Yes thats true, cinema has gotten a strong reputation for visual effects in the last several years, that is due to a tool introduced back in 2006 which allows stunning and simple to build up parametric animation, very much like grasshopper could be used just way easier to configure. the functions are neat gimmicks but i have to move fast once i have an idea, getting knots into my fingers brains and patience is just no good then. navigation is one of my core elements to function fast and sufficient, something which i am very concerned about rhino either.

also changing the navigation to a more standard like as they have done just a few versions ago did not help getting it right in my opinion.Īlso one simple thing which was just unbelievable, which nobody seems to worry about is how fast you can zoom in and out, there is not a single setting for it and researching the web up and down did not yeald any freaking results… well if i can not even move and navigate as i want then its just no fun, no matter if its free and how many really nice features it provides.

blender is a serious tool, not that i am trying to bash its ability, but its just too awkward right now. relearning all the fancy stuff will not be that simple and many functions are not that easy if at all to handle in blender according to a vast feasibility study i made. also i still can use cinema so i am not that urged and i have used cinema for more than 20 years. wasting days trying to set it up i finally gave up. I tried a script from who had taken the basis from if i am not mistaken which was supposed to set the navigation to rhino like, but it did not work properly for mac, depending on which mode you where in the navigation stopped working and utilized the standard navigation again driving me nuts.
