Former effects artist turned director, Scott Stewart, looked to SPIN

if anyone has Maxon C4D can you tell me how they run their licenses?

Are they permanent licenses or do they expire within a certain amount of years?

question about Furnace’s Wire Removal tool

Hi,guys.I selodom use wire removal tool of furnace in Nuke.Cause the computer may be slow when rendering if I use several wireremoval node in one script.
for example, a shot with many lines to removed.let’s say 8 lines.That means 8 wireremoval node in the script? Could I remove several lines in one wireremoval node?I didn’t find the way…..If I use 8 wireremoval node in a script,that’s a nightmare !(Rendering may last several hours….)
I know there’s other ways to remove wires in video,but learning more about furnace may do help one day.
