CINEMA 4D is widely regarded as the easiest to use all-purpose professional 3D tool that enables you to create anything imaginable: 3D logos, characters, cars, visual effects and so much more. CINEMA 4D dominates thanks to its unique MoGraph module and industry-leading support for Adobe After Effects.

CINEMA 4D Release 11.5 is the powerful core application. It contains a vast range of modelling tools to create objects with amazing texturing tools (including the revered BodyPaint 3D) and a wide range of animation tools. You can output to a variety of image formats including TIFF, JPEG, QuickTime, PSD, After Effects and Final Cut Pro.

Additional modules can be added to the core version of CINEMA 4D at any time to expand its capabilities. For example, if you find a job requires a great deal of complex character animation, although you can create animated characters in the core version, the amazing MOCCA module adds extra character animation tools that can save you time such as automated muscle bulging and clothing that animates itself as your character moves.

Bundles are available. Instead of purchasing modules separately, opt to buy a bundle which includes CINEMA 4D Release 11.5 and a number of modules at less cost than buying the items separately. The all-powerful Studio Bundle offers a staggering array of modules, while XL Bundle contains many of the most popular modules.

The MoGraph module contains many powerful additional tools ideal for creating motion graphics quickly and easily. From synchronised animation to 3D text effects to energy lines and much more, MoGraph makes it a cinch.

Features include:

  • Create and animate 3D text and logos from imported Adobe Illustrator paths (".ai" or ".eps" format).
  • Comprehensive suite of modelling tools including text tools, polygon tools and subdivision surfaces (HyperNURBS). Create any object - from cars to titles to buildings to characters.
  • Amazing texture tools, including MAXON's complete BodyPaint 3D software fully integrated in the core application - as used for texturing in 'The Incredible Hulk', 'Spiderman 3', 'The Golden Compass', and many more.
  • Powerful lighting system, including realistic area shadows, volumetric lighting, noise and falloff.
  • Virtually any object, material or tag parameter can be keyframed by simply clicking the animation dot next to its name.
  • With non-linear animation, it's easy to block out animation based on pre-defined motions and build upon the basic movement by overlaying additional keyframes or motions.
  • Supports almost any broadcast, film or print application, with a maximum image size of 16,000 pixels square.
  • With support for multiple processors, HyperThreading and MultiCore technology, CINEMA 4D squeezes every ounce of rendering power out of your computer.
  • Export to Adobe After Effects, including multi-pass layers, 3D lights and the animated 3D camera.
  • Available on Mac and PC including 64-bit OS support.
