EASYCLOUD PLUGIN

Easy Cloud is a Cinema 4D plugin developed in order to help user to create and animate clouds with a few simple clicks.
THE PLUGIN REQUIRES PYROCLUSTER MODULE WHICH IS PRESENT ONLY IN VISUALIZE AND STUDIO CINEMA 4D R13/14 EDITIONS THE PLUGIN IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH V-RAY AND THE OTHER RENDERING ENGINES THAT DOES NOT SUPPORT PYROCLUSTER.

The plugin's working principle is very simple:
1) create and animate your polygonal object
2) activate the cloud baker tool within easy cloud
3) rebuild your cloud scene with the "Build Cloud Scene" tool

Known Limitations:

- The object that will be transformed into a cloud should have the following features:

1) The object must be Polygonal or Hypernurbs with only one poly object within hierarchy.
2) The final object shouldn't have more than 10.000 vertices (physical limit of cinema 4d particle system).
3) In case of rigging, the poly object should have the skin deformer within hierarchy (not grouped with other objects).
4) In case you use a deformer, the object should have the deformer within hierarchy.
5) If you animate an object for example with a translation, the animation should be applied directly to the object and not to its parent object.
6) The object shouldn't be animated by constraint parent or similar.
7) The cloud is made with PyroCluster, for further information please refer to Pyrocluster C4D internal guide.
8) The plugin requires PyroCluster module which IS PRESENT ONLY IN VISUALIZE AND STUDIO EDITIONS OF CINEMA 4D.

EasyCloud is available at the price of 22.00 Euros + VAT
