The integrated C++ API now includes strict Python script verification protocols. This safety net catches syntax or execution logic bugs before they cause application crashes in the middle of production pipeline executions. 2. Core Stability Fixes maxon cinema 4d studio 20242 redshift 3524 new
在 3D 创作领域，每一次工具集的重大更新都意味着创意边界的又一次拓展。近期， 版本与其旗舰级渲染器 Redshift 3.5.24 的协同发布，为所有视觉特效、动态图形及产品可视化艺术家带来了显著的效率提升与创作自由度。这不仅仅是一次常规的版本迭代，更是一次从模拟、材质到渲染管线的全面革新。
This is made possible by Redshift 3.5.24’s new + differential rendering (only re-rendering pixels that change).
We tested the combination against the previous stable pair (C4D 2023.2 + RS 3.0.70) on an Intel i9-13900K / RTX 4080 / 64GB RAM.
Hard-surface modelers will rejoice: the new tool allows users to select edge loops, polygon islands, or point clusters based on mathematical repetition (grids, radial arrays, or custom volumes). This is integrated with Redshift’s render view, meaning you can preview procedural masks on high-poly geometry without applying material tags first. The integrated C++ API now includes strict Python

The and Redshift 3.5.24 updates focus on performance leaps and tighter integration of the Unified Simulation System . The most notable change is Cinema 4D 2024.2 moving to a brand-new core that is reportedly over twice as fast as previous versions. Maxon Cinema 4D 2024.2 Highlights
The Redshift RT interactive rendering mode is currently exclusive to Windows and NVIDIA GPUs.
The true power emerges when you use these two versions in tandem. Here’s what only this combination enables: enhance procedural modeling
The release of Cinema 4D 2024.2 Redshift 3.5.24 marks a significant leap for Maxon, focusing on refining its unified simulation framework and optimizing rendering performance for next-generation hardware. These updates introduce tools that streamline animation workflows, enhance procedural modeling, and provide more granular control over complex physics-based effects.

: Significant improvements were made to RSLights in the viewport and scene scanning for faster render starts.
Added support for rendering regular and deep AOVs (Arbitrary Output Variables) from a single ROP without needing to reload the entire scene.
BlueGriffon® has a long list of famous
ancestors and proudly inherits from all of them: Netscape®,
Mozilla® Composer and Nvu. It is powered by Gecko, the same
rendering engine you can find at the heart of Firefox®, and
is filled with tons of powerful features:

most complex CSS features of BlueGriffon will be explained in the
Manual, but we won't explain there in details how works for instance the

FAQ
Can I pay in US$ or another currency than Euros ?
PayPal will automatically convert our prices in Euros to a price in
the currency your PayPal account is using.
What's SendOwnl?
They're our Shopping Basket processor. We used to use e-junkie (a
weird name for a business, right?) but recently moved to SendOwl.
What are the "Taxes" I see when I order the product?
It's VAT and it's only added to purchases made by european
individuals and companies. That's absolutely mandatory, since we're
also based in Europe. Nothing we can do about it, sorry.
It does not apply to customers outside of the European Union.
Since the 1st of January 2015, European VAT is based on the
location of the buyer, not the seller's. That's why the VAT rate
applied to our products for two customers based in two different
european countries can differ. That's a EU Directive and there's
nothing we can do about it. That's also why we don't show the price
with VAT before you select your country of residence during
checkout...
I purchased a license and all I got is a link to the User's Manual,
a license key and a transaction ID, no software ?
That's totally normal. BlueGriffon® is a free
download. Install it and enter your license information
through the Preferences panel.
What happened to the Add-ons? What happens if I still use a version
of BlueGriffon with add-ons?
Our previous line of add-ons was discontinued and add-ons made for
versions of BlueGriffon older than 2.0 will NOT work with this
version 2.2... It is then HIGHLY recommended to delete your pre-2.0
profile that is in ~/Library/Application\ Support/BlueGriffon
on OSX, AppData/Roaming/Disruptive\ Innovations\ SARL
on Windows and ~/.disruptive\ innovations\ sarl on
Linux) OR, even better, create another profile (see the User's
Manual).
I lost my license key and/or transaction ID or I can't activate my
license, can you help ?
Yes. Please contact us by email and be
ready to answer some questions before we send you back your
credentials. If you could provide us with your Transaction ID, that
will save some time and emails.
What's the difference between BlueGriffon and BlueGriffon EPUB
Edition?
The Web editor and the EPUB editor used to be two different
products. We merged the two products into one starting with version
2.2
How will you notify us about future versions?
BlueGriffon® makes a very simple call home when you
launch it to check if a new version is available. An alert will show
up if that's the case. You can tweak this behavior in the Updates
section of the Preferences panel.
What's your Privacy Policy about that call?
Let's state it very clearly: the only data we store about
BlueGriffon® and coming from you (besides your purchase
order itself) are of two kinds:
When the application activates or verifies a license, it sends
us your license information and an application ID. Nothing more.
We don't store these calls at all. Never.
When it checks if a new version is available, it sends us the
date of the request, the version of BlueGriffon you're currently
using and the appID mentioned just above. We store only the date
and the version number. Absolutely nothing more. We do not
aggregate these data with our license database. And we do that
only for global statistics.
We do not store and will never store your IP address or even the
operating system you're using, BlueGriffon does not transmit and
will never transmit your identity, language, information about the
documents you're creating/editing, etc..
Be sure we don't care less about privacy than you do.
