Cinema 4D S26 - Subscription - Single Seat

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, easy to 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 Maxon's archives and events schedule for more information.

Other Features

Create

Polygonal Modeling Polygons are the building blocks of 3D. With Cinema 4D’s complete polygonal modeling toolset, it’s easy to craft everything from cars to creatures	Parametric Modeling Cinema 4D offers a wide range of parametric objects that give you structure to build from and offer the ability to make changes at any time.	Volume Modeling Cinema 4D’s OpenVDB-based Volume Modeling offers a procedural way to create complex objects by combining basic shapes in Boolean-type operations.
Sculpting Create organic models with Cinema 4D’s intuitive sculpting tools. Pull, smooth, flatten, cut, pinch, etc. your meshes like digital clay.	Poly Pen This is in fact the Swiss Army Knife of 3D modeling. Create, select, move or delete points, edges and surfaces comfortably without changing the tool.	Polygon Reduction Polygon Reduction quickly reduces the amount of polygons in models while preserving smooth UVs, vertex maps and selections, for lightweight meshes.
Texturing Cinema 4D’s material system lets you create photorealistic materials with multi-layered material channels, reflectance, procedural shaders and more.	Node-Based Materials Create complex materials for Maxon's Physical Renderer. Intuitive, flexible and powerful, as you would expect from a node-based system.	BodyPaint 3D BodyPaint 3D has a comprehensive set of tools for painting detailed textures directly on your 3D objects - turning models into beautiful works of art.
UVs Cinema 4D provides everything you need to make the painstaking work on UVs enjoyable - whether it's for hard surfaces or organic shapes.	Capture 3D Models with Moves by Maxon Quickly turn a series of pictures into a 3D model inside of Cinema 4D.

Animate

Animation Basics Virtually any object, material or parameter can be animated. Keyframing can be done manually, with auto-keyframing or parametrically.	Character Animation Cinema 4D offers a wide range of easy-to-use and reliable animation tools to help you create and animate life-like characters and creatures.	Car Rig Whether you're animating cars for commercials or VFX this powerful and intuitive Car Rig preset makes it easy to prep a car for power-sliding action.
Simulation Create dynamic relationships between objects, generate hair and cloth, or use springs, motors, and aerodynamics to generate spectacular simulations.	Tracking Tracking of objects or camera positions is crucial for the integration of 3D elements into footage. C4D offers on-board tools to accomplish this.	Character Object Allows you to easily build flexible rigs for any type of character, based on presets for bipeds, quadrupeds and more, all crafted by top animators.
Mixamo Control Rig Easily apply motion clips from Adobe’s Mixamo library to your Cinema 4D characters and modify or retarget them in just a few simple steps.	Toon Rig Animate like in Looney Toons. This versatile character rig offers all the features you need to animate cartoon-style.
