Have any of you tried TurbulenceFD with C4D? It truly is startling how good it is. Stuff I really struggled with is easy. On the other hand, stuff that was easy in ICE, well, I reserve judgement until I know more, but TurbulenceFD doesn't seem to have the controls to art direct the fluid (gaseous only, not liquid) to do exactly what I want if it isn't physically natural. Yet. In FX work, that is obviously of high importance, but I don't have enough time with it to say for sure.
C4D is really quite good at a LOT of stuff, though. Stuff we struggle with usually, that we just accept as "hard" or we have accepted as something that just takes a long time. In C4D, many of these things are not only fast, look good, but EASY. How often does THAT happen? I am in the same boat as others here. I am evaluating C4D, Modo, Houdini They all have their strengths, and one major weakness (they aren't Softimage).
