For more power and precision, you can dial in all sorts of options to control the Normals, hierarchy tessellation and more. You’ll almost always get something usable with the default settings. Get the models you need, with the quality you want thanks to the robust and flexible import of STEP, Solidworks, JT, Catia and IGES files. Just drag any CAD file into Cinema 4D and get started. Say goodbye to conversion woes – most popular CAD formats can be imported with a simple drag-and-drop. Fields allow you to layer those shapes, link them to multiple effects, and so much more. You’ll never use Cinema 4D the same way again. Falloffs are one of the most powerful aspects of Cinema 4D and the MoGraph feature set, making it easy to adjust an effect based on simple shapes. Fields will revolutionize the MoGraph feature set, making it easy to create complex effects by combining falloffs. Use more than just simple shapes to control effectors, deformers, weights and more. Release 20’s node-based materials have the power to change the way you work, whether you directly create amazing shaders through nodes or simply make use of assets shared by those who do. Complex effects created via nodes can be wrapped as assets and delivered as simple materials, with just the necessary parameters exposed. The main page to learn about the updates is here: Here are the main highlights: Node Based Materialsįrom simple references to complex shaders, you can build extraordinary materials in a node-based overview. Here are some resources to get you up to speed. R20 is scheduled for September 2018 for macOS and Windows.
Maxon has announced Cinema 4D R20! Always exciting to see what the mothership has lined up for us.
