This is the service update 16.050 for CINEMA 4D and BodyPaint 3D R16.

This update is highly recommended for all R16 users. In general there have been a lot of stability improvements, functional bug fixes as well as some performance improvements and idea implementations.

Important note for Team Render users:
Due to extensive changes in the code it is necessary that you unverify & verify your existing machines once after the update so that their status changes from red to green. In case you have difficulties doing so, contact our support department. If you experience connection problems and are using Bonjour, we recommend disabling Bonjour.
