Linear Deformer Scripts
 

An Overview of the Linear Deformer Scripts

The Linear Deformer Scripts pack is a pair of scripts that create a Linear falloff deformer.
This allows you to utilize the plain effector to quickly adjust a selection of points with falloff.
It streamlines the workflow by automatically fitting the effector to your object, creating a vertex map based on your selection, and restricting it to that map.
The other script simplifies baking this deformation down to the mesh to a single click.

CV TileStitcher, Overview
 

A description of CV TileStitcher and how to use it.

CV TileStitcher is a Photoshop script that re-assembles the rendering results from a tiled camera out of CINEMA 4D. The script supports multi-layered images including nested lights. This comes in handy for artists rendering huge resolution images with the tiled camera and Net Render. The script works with Photoshop 3, 4, 5 and 5.5.

Note: Make sure when you render, that you render out an animation that exactly the number of frames/tiles you have chosen in your tiled camera.
