The really big addition is the QuickTime-free support of MP4 videos. So, yes, you can import animated GIFs into Cinema 4D Release 19, but that is just one tiny aspect of this update. Obviously, there are a lot more updates - including the incredible new OpenGL Previews and the cross-platform ProRender, which adds the ability to use AMD or Nvidia graphics cards - but to keep this review under 30 pages I am focusing on the three that directly impact my work.īuckle up! You can now import animated GIFs into Cinema 4D. If you want to see a side-by-side comparison you can check out Maxon’s website.Īs usual, there are a bunch of new updates to Cinema 4D Release 19, but I am going to focus on my top three, which relate to the workflows and processes I might use as an editor: New Media Core, Scene Reconstruction and the Spherical Camera. Cinema 4D Studio includes everything in the other versions plus unlimited Team Render nodes, a hair system, a motion/object tracker and much more. It includes Sketch and Toon, as well as an architecturally focused library of objects and presets. Cinema 4D Visualize includes Cinema 4D Prime features as well, but is geared more toward architects and designers. Cinema 4D Broadcast includes all of Cinema 4D Prime’s features as well as the beloved MoGraph tools and the Broadcast Library, which offers pre-built objects and cameras that will work with motion graphics. The other versions include Prime, Broadcast, Visualize and Studio.Ĭinema 4D Prime is the first version that includes features like lighting, cameras and animation. But, if you want all the goodies that come packed into Cinema 4D you will have to pay the piper and purchase one of the other four versions.
It is really an amazing tool for discovering the world of 3D without having to invest a bunch of money. There is the Cinema 4D Lite, which comes free with Adobe After Effects. Maxon offers five versions of Cinema 4D, not including BodyPaint 3D. There are a few things in the latest release, however, that directly correlate to editors like me. I am an editor, first and foremost, so while I dabble in Cinema 4D, I am not an expert. Currently in Release 19, Cinema 4D comes with a good amount of under-the-hood updates. It’s time for my yearly review of Maxon’s Cinema 4D.
