C4D Arnold Renderer

The latest version of C4D Arnold renderer is a well-known renderer software. The official version of the C4D Arnold renderer is super fast, and compared to the default renderer, the rendering results are more realistic. Its built-in node material editor is very powerful. The C4D Arnold renderer runs as a standalone renderer on Linux, Windows and Mac OS X, or as plugin for Cinema 4d r19, Maya, Softimage, Houdini and Katana.

C4D Arnold renderer software introduction

Arnold is an advanced Monte Carlo ray tracing renderer written specifically for the requirements of feature-length animation and visual effects. Updated to support Cinema 4D R19, SolidAngle C4DtoA v2.3.1 using Arnold 5.1 . Originally developed in conjunction with Imageworks at Sony Pictures and now their primary renderer, Arnold is used by over 300 studios around the world, including ILM, Framestore, MPC, The Mill and Digic Pictures. Arnold was the primary renderer on many films.

C4D Arnold renderer installation method

​​ 1. Install the renderer

​ ​ 2. Copy the files in the AMPED folder to any location (as long as the path does not contain Chinese characters). Here I copy it to the RLM folder in the MAXON folder of C4D.

3. Find the [Run] option in the start menu, open and enter CMD and confirm (a command prompt window will pop up)

​​ 4. Enter the following code and press Enter:

cd C:Program FilesMAXONRLM

Note: C:Program FilesMAXONRLM above refers to the folder path copied in the second step above

5. Enter the following code and press Enter:

rlm -install_service -service_name RLM-C4DtoA -dlog +rlm.log

​​ 6. Open the folder path you copied in the second step, run rlm.exe as an administrator, wait until the license exits, and then close

​​ 7. Return to the command prompt window and enter Enter. If it prompts that the service has been started, it means success.

       net start RLM-C4DtoA

​​ 8. Right-click the computer icon on the desktop, click Properties, click Advanced System Settings - Environment Variables - New System Variables (note that it is not a user variable)

Variable name: solidangle_LICENSE

Variable value: 5053@localhost

9. Complete!!!
