What's New

Maxon Cinema 4D

Cinema 4D 2023 brings standout features for all Cinema 4D users and integrates technology across the Maxon family. This release provides some of the most-wanted features among our artists - comprehensive modeling symmetry, in-place asset management and native OCIO support. Unified Simulations gain artist-friendly features and support for soft-body simulations. The latest update for Moves by Maxon makes it even easier to capture face and body movements. We’re bringing the best of Maxon technology together with integrations across Maxon One into Redshift, Red Giant, ZBrush and Forger.

Cinema 4D Feature Highlight

Simulation

With the new Unified Simulation System you can achieve more realistic-looking simulations that incorporate multiple objects with different simulation characteristics such as cloth, ropes and soft bodies. The Unified Simulation System allows simulations to be calculated on either the CPU or GPU and is highly multi-threaded, offering improved performance with complex cloth simulations.

Modeling With Symmetry

Creating 3D objects has never been easier thanks to a broad collection of new procedural and interactive modeling tools. Automatically transform the topology of any mesh using ZRemesher. Create entirely new shapes with a bevy of powerful new interactive modeling tools, many of which can also be applied procedurally via Node Capsules. Advanced spline nodes power new capsule possibilities, while improved Vector Import support makes it easier than ever to work with Illustrator and SVG artwork.

Modeling with Symmetry allows mirrored changes on the model. Users can define the symmetry using the world grid, the object axis, a custom workplane, or even the topology of the model.

Asset Browser

The Asset Browser provides easy access to libraries of preset content stored locally or online, including a vast collection of 3D objects, materials and capsules available to Cinema 4D subscribers. The library can be browsed or searched, and each asset includes rich metadata and keywords. Assets are downloaded on-demand, so there's no need to pre-download huge libraries of assets. They're also cached on your local computer, so your favorite assets are immediately available for re-use.

Watch Folders allow the storage of assets anywhere on the file system.

Ocio Color Management

OpenColorIO (OCIO) is an open-source color management system that allows users to easily manage their color throughout all stages of the production pipeline in a predictable and consistent way. In Cinema 4D, the Academy Color Encoding System (ACES) enables content creation without the limitations of small color spaces. If artists have OCIO installed, they can produce in ACES in current or future versions of Cinema 4D.

Moves by Maxon

With Moves by Maxon for iPhone and iPad Pro you can capture facial and full-body movement, and instantly bring them into Cinema 4D. Whether you want to record your facial expressions or capture your best dance moves and martial art poses, Moves by Maxon is the perfect app

Improved Goz Zbrush Connection

GoZ (for GoZBrush) is a dynamic bridge between ZBrush and other 3D packages built around a specific file format, the GoZ file. In a single click, send your model from ZBrush to one of the supported applications. You can also send your maps to do a render, edit geometry, or add an element to your model. Then, send the updated items back to ZBrush, still in one click! GoZ works with different Tools or SubTools, visible or not.

With GoZ, you can use your time to work on your model, not managing your import and export.

What is Cinema 4D?

Cinema 4D is a professional 3D modeling, animation, simulation and rendering software solution. Its fast, powerful, flexible and stable toolset make 3D workflows more accessible and efficient for design, motion graphics, VFX, AR/MR/VR, game development and all types of visualization professionals. Cinema 4D produces stunning results, whether working on your own or in a team.

Award-Winning Mograph

MoGraph is a procedural modeling and animation toolset that gives motion designers the ability to quickly and easily create complex and abstract animations. At the heart of MoGraph is the Cloner object which allows you to duplicate objects in a variety of ways. Add MoGraph’s powerful collection of Effectors to the mix and you can put everything in limitless motion using sound, fracturing, fields, and so much more - often without creating a single keyframe! MoGraph is the go-to system for professional broadcast graphics designers and was recognized by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences with a Technical Achievement Award in 2019.

Easy To Learn & Use

Cinema 4D is widely recognized as one of the easiest and most accessible 3D packages to learn and use. To soften that learning curve Maxon offers thousands of tutorials on Cineversity and hundreds of Quick Tips. Maxon’s Training team also hosts weekly and monthly live webinars to help new and existing users succeed. – check out our archives and events schedule for more information.

Cinema 4D with Redshift

The powerful combination of C4D & Redshift makes 3D tools blazingly fast and takes rendering to the next level. The outstanding reliability of Cinema 4D allows the artists to deliver magnificent outcomes with no hitch and in a faster way. REDSHIFT is the first fully GPU-accelerated & biased renderer designed to meet the accuracy and demands of high-end production rendering works in Cinema 4D.

Maxon One

Maxon One comes with legendary incorporation of Cinema 4D, Red Giant, and Redshift to deliver fast-paced 3D production, motion design, VFX, and high-end rendering compactly. The industry-standard tools of this amalgamation allow the artists to work with fluid dynamics and 3D particle systems. The tools like film looks, color correction, video effects, green screen compositing, transitions, and A/V sync can efficiently handle all your post-production workload with no delay at all.
