Maxon CINEMA 4D โ leading 3D motion graphics, visual effects, painting, and rendering software. The software enables digital content creators worldwide to produce highly engaging content quickly and easily.
It makes that for industries with all character tools, integrated stereographic capabilities, stream-lined multi-artist collaboration, and physical rendering.
Maxon Cinema 4D includes all the functions to create high-end 3D images and animations. Launch the application and start working; it is that easy.
For those whose work demands more than the basic application, MAXON provides numerous modules that can be integrated seamlessly. CINEMA 4D Studio is the very best that MAXON has to offer for professional 3D artists.
As well as containing all of the features found in CINEMA 4D Prime, Visualize and Broadcast, CINEMA 4D Studio adds advanced character tools, hair, a physics engine, and an unlimited client network for rendering. The result is that Maxon CINEMA 4D Studio can tackle any project you throw.
Despite being equipped with advanced 3D tools, CINEMA 4D Studio remains user-friendly and intuitive. Creating complex 3D effects, such as hair, is surprisingly easy and fast, with Maxon CINEMA 4D handling much of the work. For instance, hair automatically swooshes and sways as you move your character, and setting up collisions between thousands of objects only takes a few clicks.

Modeling
You can import and export any file format, allowing seamless integration into almost any pipeline. The modeling toolset supports working with parametric or polygonal objects, subdivision surfaces, and various deformers and modifiers. Its non-linear modeling feature lets you modify parametric objects while remaining lightweight and fast.
Materials and Textures
All standard and advanced options for creating the perfect surface for your models are available. Materials have 14 different channels and you can customize channels for specific needs (e.g. game engines). Use images or movies as textures or advanced shaders such as Subsurface Scattering or Backlight. This software offers an industry-standard 3D painting toolset for high-end texturing.
Animation
CINEMA 4D Studio is a versatile animation tool, offering a comprehensive suite of features. Beyond the standard tools you’d expect from a high-end 3D package, it boasts advanced character animation tools, cutting-edge rigid and soft body dynamics, cloth simulation, event-based particle systems, cloners, effectors, and even natural hair that responds realistically to the wind.
Lighting and Rendering
CINEMA 4D Studio provides a variety of light and shadow types to illuminate even the most challenging scenes. Its render engine efficiently utilizes all available processor cores to deliver high-quality results quickly. Additionally, the Studio version offers advanced lighting tools, including IES lights for realistic light distribution, global illumination for indirect lighting, and a physical sky simulation for realistic outdoor lighting, among many other features.
Workflow and Customization
Configure the program layout and you can create your scripts or plugins.
Available in several languages, including English, French, German, Italian, Russian, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Czech, and Polish.
