The scene shown, represents all the major counties of Bavaria, Germany, and a lot of smaller districts.  This is just 549 objects, and 217k polygons.

The objects, and geometry where built using a new, custom loader plugin, and DEM Earth.  The loader imports, an unlimited number of borders, with shocking ease, and sets them up perfectly for C4D  for optimal, fast and flexible usage. I used mograph to juggle them up a bit, and the shading is done via my Ninja color shader. These scenes could be made to work perfectly well, with any application, with just a few clicks.

This Bavaria scene, is a very small example of what I can now achieve in C4D with minimal effort. It is now possible to polygonize the borders of every village,town,county,state or continent  on this planet. Either a single district, or an entire continent.  This is quite unique, and very powerful. IMO, there is no other tool in existence that can do what this does, with this of ease of use.

•  I am thinking very about what to do with this :)

Improved – sloppy texture updating in editor on child objects when stacking multiple dem earth objects.
Added – Rounding setting. This lets you turn the good old square dem earth, into a round dem earth.
Added – New Background downloading for imagery.
Added – an issue preventing the strata being built after object was turned off.
Added  – an issue with the smart OSM Object, and the decompose option, causing everything to jump out of place.

Added – Composite settings for strata.

arriving ASAP. Still fiddling.

•  Improved – Strata.

I changed the way the Strata is built in preparation for  any shape, outline. not just a simple grid. the new method is much more robust and will work for any shape.

•  Added – Support for registered student versions of Cinema4D.

Previously it was not possible to support the free student version of C4D because of the lack of any 11 numbers. this has been resolved and students can now purchase and use DEM Earth, with a discount. Contact support for details.

•  Fixed – Binding issues. Separate objects line up perfectly.

In previous versions, there where problems matching multiple DEM Earths together. There was a difference in the north south offset, meaning you could not match things up  as well as you may want to. This has been fully resolved.

•  Added – Handles for length and width.

Better interaction with handles. More to come…

•  Added – Separate Width / Height settings, with best fit subdivision.

You can now modify both width and height separately. The subdivision method has been improved to try to maintain square subdivisions over both axis.

•  Improved – World.meter unit (this is the world scale multiplier from C4D space to real world space)

Some internal simplification produces a more accurate value. Multiply any  real world meter value by this number, to get a C4D meter value.

•  Improved – Significantly improved geo-referencing accuracy.

As a result of the core overhaul.

•  Improved – Major rewrite of core DEM Earth code

What it says. Big chunks of code rewritten and improved.  Makes more things possible.

New, faster DEM Server + bug fixes and download performance improvements.

• Added – EURO2 server – Lost/Damaged 30m tiles around Greenland and North Canada.
• Added – EURO2 server – Lost/Damaged 30m tiles around Russia & Ukraine & North Turkey.
• Added – New Server & choices, in prefs.
• Server ‘Europa1′ is the new faster DEM server.
• Server ‘Europa2′ is the old R1 server.
• Added – Support for GPX waypoints, without tracks or routes.
• Added – New code and functions to better predict missing tiles & reduce false downloads for 90m data.
• Fixed – white images with stamen Toner Map.
• Added – File import option to OSM Object. You can import  file with this, rather than downloading.

Enjoy
