Cinema 4D

What works

Installation goes without a hitch. Using the Wine Configuration I set Cinema 4D up to use the Windows ME libraries, the rest of the configuration was left default. Cinema 4D starts up, however the registration message that would normally appear above the splash screen was instead hidden behind it. I was able to grab and move it with KDE and went on to register the program successfully. After start up the interface disappears behind an OpenGl overlay. By pressing ctrl+e you can bring the preferences window and set the viewpoint to use software rendering after which C4D's interface works just fine. The default blueberry scheme draws rather slowly making the interface difficult to work with, the other schemes don't have any noticeable impact on C4D's performance. Cinema 4D appears to have no other problems.

What does not

OpenGl acceleration does work the but the if the viewpoint is docked to a window with other docked items the entire window is covered by an OpenGL overlay, undocking the viewpoint into a single window does make OpenGL more workable though the menubar and viewpoint handles wont be visible.
