[@CGFUN829]

Me?

[@altberg__]

merk is back with a bang. :) looking forward to test.

[@nitromusik9275]

Wow im genuinely impressed with your clever integration of generative ai into the natural C4D workflow! Thats way better than i expected when i first heard of Airen 4D. Looks like you are ahead of what seems possible right now. Congrats.

[@Merkvilson]

I added many new features after releasing the previous Airen video, and I'm glad people like it, but for my personal preference, this is not enough. I have lots of plans and ideas for improving Airen, and version 1 will be at least ten times better than what it is right now. but version 1 won't be the last release. I'll make Airen 2, Airen 3, and keep pushing it forward.

[@stuz0r]

Dude this is insane! You've been extremely busy it looks like. Well done, sir!

[@Merkvilson]

Thanks, man! I hope It will be helpful to you in creating your excellent art!

[@MarkK-mi8ub]

So exciting. Thanks for the update!

[@Merkvilson]

Thanks for the comment. I'm glad people like it ♥

[@PerryCooper3d]

This looks bonkers, I’ve pre ordered - can’t wait to play with this and see what’s possible!

[@Matthews_Gueret]

Waw 🥇. Very impressive Merk ! you're the best ! Hope I could test & use this fabulous plugin tomorrow 😉

[@TutoView]

Awesome plugin~! I'm looking forward to the 23rd!

[@animatoroneill5948]

Perfect end to my AI talk this morning. Thanks!

[@Lowenmensch408]

This is very exciting, pre-ordered it already weeks ago 😀 waiting for the countdown woohoooo

[@affectreflect]

Brilliant stuff..Does this use similar logic to stable diffusion and controlnet?ive seen a houdini wrapper for sd that does similar stuff(limited though)using depth map extraction from simple 3d scene and segmentation to have these kinds of outputs

[@roosaklas20]

Looks amazing! Great job Merk

[@grantchesterdesign]

Can it render sequences or is it only stills? And how easy is it to customize the render settings and render aov’s / puzzle mates etc?

[@omeravarkan]

@merkvilson This is the best and most sensible integration of AI into 3D workflows. @Maxon needs to fully support your efforts. All the best, can’t wait start using Airen! Hope to see a mac version soon!

[@mattero]

so amazing! very excited to see what it can to

[@moonpilot101]

Game changing - very keen to give this a try!!

[@omni_frame]

looking so cool, for previs and lookdev i feel it will be amazing!

[@Merkvilson]

Thanks. As I said, it's only 10% of what it is supposed to be. So you can raise your expectations even more. I'm going to at tons of cool features into Airen. ♥😁😁

[@DynamicPhil84]

Mindblowing Merk! This is going to change the way the whole C4D community designs and renders. Can't wait!

[@neilhilken]

This is huge, thanks Merk!

[@ryantalbot_art]

This is insaaaaane! Excited to try it out.

[@tsotnetunes]

Can you export image sequences? How consistent do they look?

[@randmcnally.]

how is this model trained? is there a base data set that it refers to? will these textures and images be able to be used for commercial work?

[@iamwoozy]

+

[@Merkvilson]

of course it can be used for commercial work.

[@motigi]

I did not expect something that good after watching the first video. It's absolutely awesome and I can't wait to use it!

[@Merkvilson]

Haha, I'm glad to hear you like this. Currently, Airen is finished by 10%, so the upcoming versions will impress you even more than this one.

[@alijaberlb]

Wow, truly amazing!

[@dino8902]

Super impressive! I really hope to use it on my mac as soon as possible

[@Merkvilson]

I'll start developing Mac version right after I finish the Windows version.

[@EffingtonCouldBe]

OMG - gotta have this! Your other plugins for c4d are brilliant so I know this will RAWK.

[@lowmoon9025]

Looks like a generational leap for creativity and ideation. Amazing!

[@fabiobrunello]

This could be the turning point, I can't wait to get my hands on it!

[@raoulmercier99]

amazing! It will be a must have

[@TWR-drums]

Not actually random, I am interested in this but I want to get a feel for its capabilities on my system in my workflow. Is there a trial version of any kind?

[@alaaadm2497]

you work is out of this world seriously

[@HagopKaneboughazian]

wonderful integration of AI into C4D. The image generators alone are very useful.

[@legalityoflife5741]

How does it handle consistency? Does it keep the same artwork - if animating from different angle?

[@Merkvilson]

Stability AI is working on a consistent AI animation rendering model, which subsequently will be added to Airen. But before that happens, I'll add some little animation features. At the end of the next week, I'll add an option for creating animated textures/materials.

[@EnikTracer]

Its Incredible work!

[@Merkvilson]

Thank you! ♥ This is just a first step.

[@malikarbab5437]

Amazing work!!

[@johnbica]

Amazing man. I'll buy it when it includes animation option. Congratulations on the beautiful work.

[@Merkvilson]

Thanks, buddy! I'm sure you'll love the upcoming updates!

[@philippeLebret]

2 questions, is this compatible with plugin such as X-particles ? and is this provide animations possibilities or it is pictures restricted only ? Thanks

[@Merkvilson]

1) Airen can render any type of particles as well as splines, voxels and other kind of non-polygonal geometries. 2) The current alpha version is not capable of rendering an applicable animation, however it is absolutely possible to achieve consistent video rendering with an upcoming Ai technologies that will be integrated into Airen.

[@philippeLebret]

@@Merkvilson YES here it is a real perspective !

[@TheAngrySky]

This is fire!!! Well done mate!

[@Merkvilson]

Thanks buddy!

[@josephatodaro]

This is insane. I seriously can't wait.

[@user-kl3gw9gd7m]

This looks incredible!

[@Rentoa]

this is pretty amazing! nice use of the AI. quality as always...

[@sm151219]

for wich version from cinema 4d is it i have 20 and 23

[@scoobiom]

Definitely to be considered a random comment! But while I'm here.... whooooooaaaaaaaa maaaaan the texture/displacement functions alone! 🤩

[@DenysGlagoliev]

Its supercool, Merk. And it is will be more cooler to use this plugin for animations

This is huge and amazing , was using blender plugin for similar workflow

[@minimalfun]

This is incredible !

[@AdamMarshall16]

Very keen to try this out

[@rgbadesign]

Another question, when purchasing the plugin, will subsequent updates be supported?

[@Merkvilson]

yes, all the future updates will be available for previous customers.

[@user-ne9ok9dc9g]

How many seats are available for the pre-order version? Is it one seat per license?

[@Merkvilson]

Currently, there is no fixed price for multiple licenses. However, you can request an additional discount if you purchase for multiple users.

[@kuunami]

This could be a game changer for me.

[@pawel2097]

Can´t wait for that! hopefully soon with animation support :)

[@Edward.Latour]

It is amazing how well considered the usability is already working. This probably also branches well out via the node graph representation. What level of customization are you aiming for with Airen? ( VAE, LORA, TensorRT checkpoints?) Well done, Merk, and splendid timing!

[@Merkvilson]

User will be able to choose their own models also well as Loras, Vaes. etc.

[@Edward.Latour]

@@Merkvilson💫 🦾 very well!

[@user-cs8wv]

awesome! I've got a question before I make a purchase. If I buy it once, will I keep getting updates down the line? Or do I need to pay for each new version that comes out?

[@Merkvilson]

You'll get free updates for two years. After this, a new update will be available for $49, but you can keep your version even without updating it.

[@BENBOBBY]

As I said in your other video, this looks incredible!

[@timoclauberg_3d]

What Version of C4D will be supported in the final version? Thank you for your hard work.

[@Merkvilson]

Currently, it works with R25+ versions, but I can support older versions in future updates.

[@rbnks2506]

That is impressive!. I was wondering how this works with Animation, Is the AI image steady when rendering more then 1 frame?

[@Merkvilson]

It will work with animations just like any other render engine. Airen is going to be an advanced render engine and not just a little toy. Users also will be able to create animated materials and shaders.

[@nitromusik9275]

@@Merkvilson im impressed with your creative and clever use of generative ai but dont you think its to early to claim video will be looking good? Do you have some sort of proof of concept?

[@Merkvilson]

​@@nitromusik9275 It's not a secret that Stability AI is working on a new Animation Rendering Model that will be an appropriate solution for 3D rendering. I have contacted their developers, and I assure you it will be a big step forward in the 3D industry. It may not be 100% accurate initially, but it won't take much time to finalize this tech. I will also integrate Sora when it gets available. Airen user will have an option to login in OpenAi account from the plugin and all the OpenAi tech will became available directly inside Cinema 4D. This is not some sort of hard task. I can integrate Dalle 3 and ChatGPT even today, so it will be able to create some basic objects in Cinema 4D by writing a prompt, but I think this is not what C4D really needs right now.

[@user-um1mw4fp1z]

Amazing!

[@Beeam3D]

This is just nice!

[@rgbadesign]

Could you please tell me which versions of Cinema 4D the plugin supports?

[@Merkvilson]

It was tested on R25, R26, 2023, 2024 releases. Some older versions will also be supported.

[@rgbadesign]

@@Merkvilson thanks

[@rgbadesign]

One more question. Is this price as a one-time payment or is the plugin somehow related to the subscription?

[@Merkvilson]

After puchasing Airen on gumroad marketplace, the user receives a permanent license. I have no plans for subscription model.

[@LANZCOS]

is it possible extraction map and texture or mesh from AI generated render image ?

[@Merkvilson]

Yes. That will be one of the Airen key features.

[@user-dw1bi1yn4n]

​@@Merkvilson When will that features approximate update be? Is the schedule undecided?

[@haasekopp1614]

Looks very promising!

[@JayM.-zf2lq]

is there any chance this could be available for blender ?

[@declanwilliams8300]

Can I ask what versions of Cinema it will support ?

[@typm90]

Awesome! this module like approach is much more convient then writing with promps. I'm wondering: do you get the same results on every machine with the same setup?

[@typm90]

Creating textures / HDRIS with airen is so powerful for it's own.... This is Rad!

[@Merkvilson]

Yes. By default, Airen uses fixed seed for generating images, so your scene will render similarly (per-pixel level) on different computers.

[@ryanelliott197]

Absolutely wild

[@nitromusik9275]

Can i use it on mac? I only see a windows version? If not, do you have any idea when Mac users can get their hands on it?

[@Merkvilson]

Currently, I'm working on Windows, and I have to finish this version ASAP. I'll start developing the Mac version right after I finish the Windows version.

[@samvac]

Wow 😍

[@TWickedFX]

Hope givaway hasn't ended. amazing stuff

[@MikhailK1]

This is great!

[@ryanenoscreative]

Incredible! Would love to have R23 support!

[@rgbadesign]

Cool! Can you please tell me what resolution I can get?

[@Merkvilson]

Up to 16K. It is possible to increase this value even further, but this is more than enough.

[@user-tk3og2ic9n]

Wow, this is so amazing. How can they make a plugin like this? You are a genius!

[@felicious.animation]

OMG - this looks amazing! Does it also work with animation or right now just for still renders? Very excited to test it out

[@Merkvilson]

Animations will be supported in upcoming updates. Currently new Ai Video tech is developed that is aimed for 3D rendering. Animated materials will also be available.

[@felicious.animation]

@@Merkvilson just bought it on gumroad and very excited to try it out 🔥

[@felicious.animation]

@@Merkvilson I bought it on gumroad, but when will it be released. I really looking forward testing it out

[@user-ox6cb7zj4i]

I'm glad that an AI rendering program is finally coming out in c4d. I hope there are additional features that will make it easier to edit the resulting images.

[@Merkvilson]

Functions will be supported for editing existing renders by adding Ai effects, Upscaling and changing styles.

[@itgrewlegsandwalkedaway8212]

This will change the industry forever.

Can you demonstrate abstract scenes?

[@Merkvilson]

You will see Airen generated abstract textures at 1:28 It can also render abstract images based on the 3D scene.

[@parseeek]

Cool! 👍
