Cinema 4D Features
Capture 3D Models with Moves by Maxon
Quickly turn a series of pictures into a 3D model inside of Cinema 4D.
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.
