**"I'm curious, as I no longer use the program (haven't had a license in years, and can't afford one now), but does Maxon create models for C4D? "** Hi No they program modeling tools and add them to the native tool set of their product line but they also have leased/bought third party tech from other companies like Cebas for some VFX tools and used  the well known bullet physics engine for their newest hard body Dynamics  engine"modynamics" Now Maxon Cannot claim to be a "Complete 3D VFX solution for Film & TV" ,(that at present costs more that Autodesk Max& Maya,) and Blame Cebas for the aging Craptastic Volumetric particle Shader pyrocluster in C4D that nobody uses.

This is Maxons burden and Fault that VFX pros e are switching to MAX to use Fumex or buying old seats of lightwave to use hypervoxels or exporting their camera animation Data  to blender 2.5 to use blenders free Smoke simulator to comp in later.

Similarly DAZ heavily promoted "their" new Dynamic Cloth plugin. Now it is  "their feature to support and they cannot slag off all of the many gripes their users make , on to optiflex or whom ever made it.
" The Poser team at Smith Micro, a much smaller entity, creates software and, IIRC, assigns and/or outsources the creation of the figures it includes with  Poser."

Again  Like DAZ or Maxon SM is NOT Blameless for the fact that They hired Substandard Figure modelors for Alyson& Ryan and complaining directly to SM about it is justified.
