C4D 2024.4 Particles

That's what I saw too in a video about particles (though all the ones I found just focused on the generation and simulation, and stopped before talking about rendering lol!)

Hie Tom. Actually, you can render the Cinema 4D Particles without having to use the cloner. The cloner method was probably offered as an alternative solution for Render Engines that do not support rendering of the Particles yet. Within the object tag, you can choose different methods of rendering the particles. Hope to see such a feature soon within Corona. Thank you.

Yep, understood that the cloner isn't used directly when rendering through Redshift (though very similar stuff is going on then, just built in to the UI without going through a Cloner as an extra set up step).
