What's New in Cinema 4D

SMOOTH MOVES

Cinema 4D R23 includes key enhancements to the animation, such as workflow making it easier to create and manipulate keyframes. Produce fantastic new character animation rigs with R23. Similarly, manage your character poses, retargeting, and skinning.

• POSE LIBRARY: Character TDs and Animators celebrate! A new Pose manager allows you to easily store, recall and blend key character poses as scene-independent assets. Save variations of your object's parameters that are not tied to the scene and re-use them in different scenes. Works with characters or any type of parametric object.
• DELTA MUSH: Delta Mush smooths deformations while preserving detail. The deformer itself smooths any deformation above it, and works particularly well with joint-based skin deformations. An additional tag allows the smoothing to be adjusted per object.
• CHARACTER SOLVER: A new workflow allows you to create Character Definitions for commonly-used rigs and easily retarget animation regardless of joint orientation.
• TOON & FACE RIGS: Two new presets for the Character Object allow you to easily define character rigs for animating joint-based animation of a face.
• FILTERING IN ATTRIBUTE MANAGER AND TIMELINE: Filter the Attribute Manager to show only the attributes animators need to see, and zero in on specific tracks with Timeline filtering.
• BETTER KEYFRAMING: Animate quicker with more intuitive auto-keyframing and commands to easily set keyframes for entire hierarchies and groups of objects.
• COPY / PASTE EASE: Copy an ease curve to different keyframe segments or tracks without affecting the values.
• MARKERS: Create markers based on BPM, jump between marked ranges and navigate between markers with an all- new HUD.

THE PERFECT ARRANGEMENT

Maxon Cinema 4D R23 gives you access to all the powerful UV editing capabilities introduced in Cinema 4D S22. Additionally, we now have New tools geared mostly at UV workflows for hard-surface models.

• UV SNAPPING: UV Snapping is now completely integrated into Cinema 4D's core snapping toolset, with support for point, grid and pixel snapping.
• MULTI-OBJECT SUPPORT: UVs of multiple objects can now be viewed concurrently in the UV Editor. Use UV packing to arrange the islands of all objects into a ONE shared UV Tile, as well as selection and manipulation tools to fine-tune UVs over multiple Objects.
• ALIGN, STRAIGHTEN, RECTANGULARIZE: We can now align Islands based on selected Edges, Straighten Edge Selections and rectangularize UV islands.
• UV EDIT / LAYOUT ENHANCEMENTS: Enhanced views in the interface and the UV layout window make your workspace more responsive, and combined with the new tools make editing UVs an intuitive and stress-free process.

YOU'VE GOT THE LOOKS

Magic Bullet Looks: Easily apply one of over 200 preset film looks, import LUTs, or work with individual tools for color correction, film grain, chromatic aberration, and much more. Red Giant’s Magic Bullet Looks technology is integrated into C4D’s render settings, so all of this works in the interactive viewport and with your final C4D renders. Best of all, you can save your own Looks presets and pass them between many other host applications like After Effects, Premiere Pro and FCPX, and more.

SCREEN-SPACE REFLECTIONS

Dramatically-improved Screen-Space Reflections and the new Viewport Core introduced in S22, means you can generate outstanding preview renders out-of-the-box and better visualize the final composite.

LOOKING UNDER THE HOOD AND INTO THE FUTURE

Scene Nodes in Cinema 4D R23 offers a sneak preview of the performance you can expect from the next generation Cinema 4D core and object system. Nodes enable you to explore massive Distributions and Procedural Modeling in advance of the further development of capabilities and integration of familiar Cinema 4D workflows that foster creativity and experimentation.

TIGHT WORKFLOW HARMONY

• PYTHON 3: The core Python engine of Cinema 4D has been updated from Python 2 to Python 3, offering greater performance and security.
• OBJ: Extensive enhancements to OBJ import/export offer much improved performance, better support for PBR materials and vertex colors, and support for sequenced files.
• FBX: FBX now offers the option to export the baked animation of bind joints and to export marker ranges as Takes.
• USD: This first step in integration allows users to import / export models, cameras, and lights in usd, usda, usdc and export usdz.

MORE NOTEWORTHY FEATURES

• TWISTED REALITY: Deformer objects now have better viewport representation showing their direction and function. Whether using deformers for modeling or animation, it's easier than ever to align and scale deformers properly to procedurally modify your mesh.
• REMESH GENERATOR: An implementation of the open source Instant Mesh algorithm takes shape as a procedural generator, allowing automatic retopology and quad-based polygon reduction.
