MARCH 25, 2004 Quick Tip: Maxon BodyPaint 3D
From BP you can save out the image to texture your .amx file in Anark. Anark prefers .png files, but I like to work with .psd documents, which are Cinema 4D-friendly.  Anark Texture Swap Once you've gotten your texture saved from BodyPaint (or you've baked the texture elements), you'll need to save out your scene as a .AMX model for Anark Studio. [an error occurred while processing this directive] Once your .AMX is in your Anark library, import your BodyPaint .psd file as well and drag it onto the texture fork of the model. The UVs should snap together properly.   Free Downloads Everyone has demo versions which will allow you to try out the features of the software. You can get both Cinema 4D and BodyPaint 2 demos at Maxon Computer. If you want to check out Anark, here's my suggestion; Download the Web player first Anark Downloads. Then, check out the galleries and read some of the forum posts. When you have 3 days in a row to play with the software, download it then. You only have 15 days to use the unlocked version, but you'll be able to see a lot of the software if you dedicate your time to it. Maya's PLE (Personal Learning Edition) is still free. Yep, free - for non-commercial use only (110MB download, or $20 CD). You can get your PLE of Maya by clicking here.

Any suggestions, rants or other comments are welcome in the Cinema 4D Forum. I can be found talkin' about stuff in the After Effects forum.
