Cinefex is broken. I have the tutorials up, but am directly linking to them here. I have not used cinema for...well, 3-4 years now and I have no intention on doing so, though I figure there may be SOMEone out there who will find this stuff useful. :) It was a good ride.

My apologies to any browsers that have tried visiting in the past few weeks. My host apparently was hacked and every index file through out my entire domain was altered. They said they fixed the flaw, but I had to re-upload all the files...not too tough...but when you are connecting at a very sad 21kpbs (yes im serious) it takes a little while. Everything is up and running smoothly again. Please visit the metafex main page for some new news that pertains to the domain. Thanks for continuing comments.

Well I updated the resource section of the site. It had an error because piero from phoenixart changed the link because he upgraded his site. I didnt realise it was a broken link, but is now up. Many thanks to piero for allowing me to link his awesome resource page.

Well hello there C4D'ers :). At this point in time I can no longer call myself one :( I formatted my system a while ago and have not re-installed it. I really dont think I will either. I had stopped using it even before my format. The October '03 update was the last time I used cinema. So...for now, until I get the itch to continue using the program...I think I am done for the time being. I am leaving the site up for archival purposes, and it seems to still be getting hits...and I am very pleased to see that. :) I thank you for all the support and nice comments I have recieved.

So again, Thank you and I hope this site continues to be a source of encouragment.

I fell terrible...I used to update like once a week and now I havent for a few months :( I regret this but also at the same time I have not used c4d as much as I used to...I have also slowed down production of all my graphics. I hope that this changes, ive just been really busy...and work can get hectic...So I do plan on updates in the future...just not at the moment...thanks for the understanding...and thanks for all the comments. I truely appreciate them...I really do.

If any body has any tutorial ideas, PLEASE email them to me...I would like to add more content...so...yeah. Thanks again for letting me know that this site gets seen and that its a help.

A popular function in 3d studio max is the noise deformer. We will do the same with Dishaper. An easy to follow tutorial on how to use dishaper to make bizarre abstracts.

After posting on CGTalk, and getting a couple tips, I decided that I would just jump into it and check out what I could do with the Chanlum plugin, by Happyship. Here are the results.
