To Modeling

Final Delivery

CINEMA 4D is a fully integrated modeling, animation and rendering package, famous for its fast raytracer which produces stunning results. Easy to use and amazingly versatile, CINEMA 4D is the perfect tool for all 3D artists. From architects to games developers, from graphics designers to visual effects studios, CINEMA 4D has it all.

Recognising that not everyone needs to use every part of a high-end 3D animation system, CINEMA 4D will be based on an integrated modular system that will enable users to custom-build an application that closely fits their individual needs and budgets. Production capabilities with additional modules that enhance specific areas of 3D workflow. CINEMA 4D have been enhanced --- modeling, animation, rendering and workflow. Most notable among the new features is the MOCCA module, an innovative approach to character animation which introduces cutting-edge technology such as Soft IK. This feature alone allows realistic character movement and automated secondary motion of things like sagging skin and lazy limbs.
