As well as containing all of the features found in CINEMA 4D Prime, Visualize and Broadcast, CINEMA 4D Studio adds advanced character tools, hair, a physics engine and an unlimited clients network for rendering. The result is that CINEMA 4D Studio can tackle any project you throw at it with ease.
CINEMA 4D Studio's character tools make it easy to create character rigs and advanced character animations. Adding hair or fur to characters is fast and simple with a powerful suite of hair tools that you can grow, comb, style and animate. The physics engine makes it simple to perform complex collisions and interaction between objects, be it just a few or thousands. Network rendering allows you to take advantage of all computers on your network to help render your animations faster.
Despite being designed for advanced 3D, the extra tools found in CINEMA 4D Studio are still designed to be user-friendly and intuitive. Generating advanced 3D effects such as hair is surprisingly easy and fast, with CINEMA 4D doing much of the work for you. For example, hair will automatically swoosh and sway as you move your character around; and making thousands of objects collide with each other only takes a few mouse clicks to set up.
CINEMA 4D Studio lets you unleash your creativity and enjoy 3D without limits.
Character animators and riggers alike need easy-to-use and reliable tools to help them create life-like characters. CINEMA 4D Studio contains reliable and easy-to-use tools that make professional character animation much easier.
Hair not only offers absolute realistic render quality. It does so with minimal memory usage. Even a computer with an average configuration can be used to render millions of hairs.
Based on the production-proven Bullet library and enhanced with many unique tools, CINEMA 4D's rigid and soft body simulation are world-class.
Clone numerous objects and create extruded text with just a few simple clicks. Add Effectors to the mix and put everything in motion, and much more - often without creating a single keyframe! All this is perfectly integrated into CINEMA 4D and offers a fast and easy workflow. All functions are completely interactive and non-destructive.
CINEMA 4D Studio boasts an amazing SKY tool for the easy creation of a natural surroundings, including clouds, haze, atmosphere and global positioning. And there is a collection of presets helps you quickly find the fitting atmospheric environment for your scene.
Achieve greater realism with Global Illumination, which provides a more accurate representation of scene lighting by taking into account light that bounces between objects. The Global Illumination engine can also utilize an HDRI-based sky for outstanding image-based illumination.
Many light manufacturers offer IES data for free download to realistically simulate the look of the real lighting fixtures. Brightness, color temperature, falloff and direction are already included in IES lights to produce the most realistic lighting. CINEMA 4D already includes several pre-defined, ready-to-go lamps.
Caustic effects, like the reflection of light from the face of a watch or on the bottom of a swimming pool, are easy to create with CINEMA 4D, By accurately displaying the effects of light as it interacts with specific materials.
Features such as Global Illumination, Physical Sky, depth-of-field, smoke, Ambient Occlusion and many others will bring your pictures and animations to life.
CINEMA 4D renders passes in any desired format (image sequences, AVIs or QuickTime movies) and creates a compositing project file that automatically brings all sequences together in the correct format. Depending on the compositing application used, additional data such as 3D cameras, 3D lights or reference objects will be exported as well.
From its easy-to-use node-based XPresso system to scripting with its own C.O.F.F.E.E. language or the widley acclaimed Python language or a complete C++ SDK. It's up to you!
