Hey @3dduff, Welcome to the Maxon developers forum and its community, it is great to have you with us! Getting Started Before creating your next postings, we would recommend making yourself accustomed with our forum and support procedures. You did not do anything wrong, we point all new users to these rules. Forum Overview: Provides a broad overview of the fundamental structure and rules of this forum, such as the purpose of the different sub-forums or the fact that we will ban users who engage in hate speech or harassment. Support Procedures: Provides a more in detail overview of how we provide technical support for APIs here. This topic will tell you how to ask good questions and limits of our technical support. Forum Features: Provides an overview of the technical features of this forum, such as Markdown markup or file uploads. It is strongly recommended to read the first two topics carefully, especially the section Support Procedures: How to Ask Questions. About your First Question These are developer forums, and while you have posted in the correct off topic forum, I am not sure how well placed your topic here is. We as the SDK team have little to do with the active development of Cinema 4D outside of SDK features. But Deadline is not as dead as you make it out to be. AWS simply has shifted their focus to Deadline Cloud. There are also a c4d bindings for Deadline Cloud. I think they still struggle a bit with asset management, but the product is quite mature. The Deadline team is also active on these forums. I understand that some users will see Deadline Cloud not as an equivalent replacement, but 'deadline has stopped active development' is simply not a correct assessment either. The best way to make a feature request directed at Maxon is to create a ticket in our Support Center and share there a suggestion. When you are looking for a user-to-user discussion, you are probably better served with the Redshift forums. Cheers, Ferdinand
