PRODUCT INFORMATION



  • Brandnew 3D modeling, raytracing and animation engine for the Power Macintosh & Windows 95/NT
  • Power optimized, adaptive render engine for real time editing
  • The highest render speed you've ever seen on a Mac or PC.

One of the most exciting features of the new 3D modeling, raytracing and animation engine CINEMA 4D is its incredible speed both in modeling and in raytracing.
CINEMA 4D is optimized for 32 bit power technology. This power gives you a rendering tool that enables you to do something you always wanted - real time modeling of a shaded model. Extensive scenes with more than 100.000 faces can be handled with ease even on an average Power Macintosh or PC.

The powerful speed and image quality of CINEMA 4D sets a new standard for render engines, until now found only on expensive workstations with expensive software. CINEMA 4D gives you optimized anti-aliasing with oversampling up to 64 times and several render qualities; from scanline with transparency and reflectivity up to real raytracing. Due to its adaptive technology CINEMA 4D allows you to render even the most complex images in a matter of seconds or minutes, rather then hours.

CINEMA 4D is 4 - 25 times faster than other current programs on the Macintosh or PC. This advantage in speed increases more and more by a scene's size.

CINEMA 4D has an integrated powerful editor for the creation of lens flares, lens reflections, light glows, fog and a lot of more visual effects.

The animation part of CINEMA 4D includes features never seen before in a program in this price range. Inverse kinematics, skeletal animation, hierarchic animation, object morphing, animation preview in real time and the possibility of integrating QuickTime movies as a texture gives you the real render workstation feeling.

CINEMA 4D allows you to configure its user interface yourself. Thus you get an intuitive and individual interface with parallel active managers, multi-threading (i.e. for background rendering) - all conforming to the style guide.

CINEMA 4D reads and writes the following formats: TIFF, Targa, PICT/BMP, IFF, JPEG, QuickTime movie/AVI, QuickDraw 3D and 3D-DXF. Further it imports Adobe Illustrator paths and 2D-DXF and allows QuickTime VR panorama rendering.
On top of this the package includes hundreds of objects, scenes, animations, textures and other useful tools.

CINEMA 4D is a German development. The English version is available at the price of 1.498,- DM.
