Predominantly used in NPR or 'non-photorealistic' rendering, Piranesi also works well adding effects and interest to photorealistic images as here, in a beautifully detailed image by Jacek Mielewski, an architect at MAAG in Warsaw, Poland.
Compatibility
    Cinema 4D R10.5 and R11

 

This plugin enables Cinema 4D R10.5 and R11 to render a scene to an EPix file (a plugin for R11.5 is also available).

The download contains all the files you need for Windows (32-bit and 64-bit versions) and Mac OS X.

To add the EPix plugin:
  1. Unzip epix_cinema4d.zip into your CINEMA 4D Plugins folder.
    Make sure you select the option to use the folder names in the archive if you are given a choice. This should create a folder epixwriter containing three files Epixwriter.cdl, Epixwriter.cdl64 and Epixwriter.dylib and a subfolder 'res'. The plugin will not work if all these files are placed directly in the epixwriter folder without creating the subfolders as in the zip file.
  2. Restart Cinema 4D.
  3. Adjust the Render settings:
    1. Add the EPix writer Post Effect.
    2. Set Antialiasing to None.
    3. Specify the Image Size.
    4. Optionally, specify a Path in the Save Image section.
  4. Render to the Picture Viewer.

    The EPix writer will produce an EPix file for each frame rendered. If a Save Path is specified, the EPix file will be written to the same folder using the filename with a frame number and a .epx extension added. Otherwise, it will be written next to the scene file, using its name with a frame number and the .epx extension added.

    Note that the EPix writer cannot produce EPix files for oblique parallel projections, such as the Frog camera.
