MAXON CINEMA 4D Prime software is a package for creating, editing, visualizing and animating 3D objects and effects. Editorial MAXON CINEMA 4D Prime is suitable for computer graphics artists who want to add 3D graphics to their arsenal. MAXON CINEMA 4D is used in such industries as architecture and construction, design and engineering, film and television, creation of games and interactive applications, etc.

Intuitive interface CINEMA 4D Prime allows you to create high-quality three-dimensional images in a few hours after acquaintance with the application. Teaching programs make the development of the system simple and fast. Using CINEMA 4D Prime together with existing applications for 2D graphics opens up many new design possibilities. Powerful tools make it easy to develop images and animations for any application.

CINEMA 4D Prime – an economical solution for starting work with a three-dimensional environment. If the user needs more functions, he can always update his program to any version of CINEMA 4D – Studio, Broadcast or Visualize.

Modeling

The most common basic forms are represented in MAXON CINEMA 4D as parametric base components that can be converted to polygons to create more complex objects based on them. Together with the objects, various deformers and other generators can be used. Splines serve as the basis for extrusions, lofting, rotation around the axis and curvatures. The system offers an arsenal of UV editing solutions that ensure proper alignment of models and their materials.

Texturing

To work with textures, the most popular image formats are supported, including PSD layered images. A wide selection of 2D and 3D 3D shaders allows you to create procedural surfaces and images of glass, wood or metal. Using layer and filter shaders, you can combine images with shader effects and filters.

Animation

The Timeline window allows you to create separate tracks for each animated parameter and provides layers that allow you to organize and adjust the visibility of objects, tracks and key frames. The main tracks provide easy control of all the keyframes of the object or scene, the plot tool helps to shift or scale any part of the animation. Key frames can be created for almost every parameter of an object, material, or tag.

Rendering

The lighting system CINEMA 4D with built-in rendering driver allows you to set the lighting of scenes in a short time.

Integration

Visualization passages are created in any desired format (in a sequence of images, AVI or QuickTime movies). The generated project file automatically converts all the sequences together into the proper format. Depending on the application used to compose images, additional data such as 3D cameras, 3D lighting or reference objects can be exported.

MAXON CINEMA 4D Broadcast software is a package for creating, editing, visualizing and animating 3D objects and effects. The MAXON CINEMA 4D Broadcast edition provides everything you need to quickly and easily generate a dynamic design for the air. The solution is intended for users who are engaged in animation design and are looking for a 3D editor in addition to their own set of tools. CINEMA 4D Broadcast contains all the features of CINEMA 4D Prime, as well as special tools for animation design, including cloning and rendering tools (for example, global lighting), a professional library of 3D models, cameras, lighting settings, video clips, and much more.

Specifications MAXON CINEMA 4D Broadcast:

Modeling

CINEMA 4D allows you to import 3D geometry in a wide range of file formats or simply select the desired model from the library. The user can create his own objects using the multifunctional set of modeling tools.

Materials and textures

Materials and textures are needed to give the objects the desired appearance. The user can select image files or complex shaders, animations, hand-crafted graphics or any elements from hundreds of finished materials.

Animation

CINEMA 4D allows you to create animations using a complex timeline, keyframes and functional curves (F-curves). Almost all parameters of any object can be animated. With the help of effectors and cloning of objects it is convenient to configure complex animation with hundreds of objects in a few clicks. Effectors can act on several clones at the same time, while they are triggered by sound, time and algorithm. MoDynamics makes it possible to generate photorealistic imitations of such physical effects as gravity, collision or friction.

Lighting and rendering

If you need to set the lighting and render the scene, CINEMA 4D offers different options for light sources and shading types, with which you can adjust realistic lighting. In addition, the system includes the global illumination function for creating believable light, physical rendering for realistic lens effects, and using the NET Render function, you can use other computers on the network to speed up the work.

Software MAXON CINEMA 4D Visualize is a package for creating, editing, visualizing and animating 3D objects and effects. Revision MAXON CINEMA 4D Visualize provides a full set of modeling, texturing and rendering tools. The system features such functions as global illumination, physical sky, stylized image for sketch and extensive libraries of fillers of 3D scenes, scenes for lighting and much more.

CINEMA 4D Visualize provides import capabilities that allow you to work with models created in various 2D and 3D applications. For a variety of common 3D CAD applications, such as VectorWorks, ArchiCAD and Allplan, there is support for file sharing. In the Visualize environment, it is convenient to create not only simple camera passes and still images, but also visualize realistic animation.

Specifications MAXON CINEMA 4D Visualize:

Modeling

The user can import the scene from the CAD program to a file of one of the many supported formats or use the universal modeling tool CINEMA 4D to improve the scene or create a new project.

Materials and textures

CINEMA 4D Visualize comes with hundreds of ready-made textures. Regardless of whether the user is an architect, interior designer or product designer, ready-made high-quality materials should simply be dragged onto the stage. You can refine existing blanks or create your own new materials.

Animation

CINEMA 4D Visualize provides many easy-to-use animation techniques. You can create a flight of the camera along the spline or make doors and windows open. With the help of the “virtual walk” tool, a walk through the stage and recording of the tour is launched. There are ready trajectories for flying around the stage.

Lighting and rendering

CINEMA 4D Visualize provides the ability to use a variety of types of lighting and shadows. The rendering driver uses all available cores of the computer’s processor to get high-quality results as soon as possible. Specialized functions, such as physical lighting sources IES and SKY, for adjusting natural ambient lighting and global lighting, are optimally suited for calculating reflected light.

MAXON CINEMA 4D Studio software is a package for creating, editing, visualizing and animating 3D objects and effects and is suitable for professional 3D artists.
