RealFlow | Cinema 4D
RealFlow | Cinema 4D gives you the best in fluid simulation, directly inside Cinema 4D.
RealFlow is an industry-standard, out-of-the-box fluid simulation software. Fast and easy to use, it is compatible with ALL major 3D platforms.
Realflow | Cinema 4D
Achieve high-end simulations with a straightforward workflow directly inside Cinema 4D using the Realflow | Cinema 4D plugin.
What's New in Realflow Cinema 4D
Macro Daemon
Simulate fluid effects usually seen in high speed macro photography.
Particle Clipping for Meshing
Save time tuning meshes and take advantage of Fields to define the regions to be meshed.
Spline Control Circles
Define forces and particle emissions with more flexibility along Cinema 4D splines.
Alembic Stitcher
One Alembic file is all it takes to stitch your simulation results, particles and meshes.
Quads for Meshes
Easily subdivide meshes with the quad mesh tool.
Sub-Frame Sampling
Animated particle emission parameters and daemon parameters are taken into account between frames.
Particle Size Controlled by the Fluid
Resize fluid particles using particle age, speed and vorticity.
Force Scale
Scale all the daemon forces from a single place.
Transform your Fluids
Scale, translate and rotate transformations can be applied to fluids.
Caching Enhancements
Launch Cache process from any toolbar or customise Realflow node output filenames.
Why Use Realflow | Cinema 4D?
Serious, high performance fluids
RealFlow | Cinema 4D is built on RealFlow’s Dyverso solver – so you get the best in fluid simulation, with an easy workflow.
Simplified workflow
Forget about going back and forth between 3D platforms . You no longer have to worry about network dependencies, permissions, or IP issues.
Fully integrated toolkits
Now you can use native Cinema 4D modifiers and tools combined with RealFlow.
High speed simulations
RealFlow | Cinema 4D is GPU accelerated, supporting CUDA and OpenCL.
Different Fluids Interaction
Interaction between different fluids in the same scene.
Now it is possible to mix fluids with different properties. This includes not only liquids but all of our multiphysics materials (granular, viscous, viscoelastic) plus rigid and elastic.
|
Volume Tag for Objects Make sure RealFlow always sees your Cinema 4D object exactly the way you want it to. No matter if it is for collisions or emissions. |
More Than One Scene In The Same Document You can have more than one scene in case you want to test different variations of your sim, or multiple independent takes for the same project. |
Mark Parameters In Emitters Nodes Avoid the emission of particles inside objects colliding with the fluid. |
| Collider Tag Improvements
Decide which fluids will collide, set multiple collider tags for the same object or use textures to control collider parameters like the friction. |
Meshing of Cached Fluids Only mesh your fluids without resimulating everything again. Excellent for fine tuning your mesh until you are happy with its look. |
Child Objects Fluid's Random Transformations Give your particle instances a more natural look thanks to their variation on position, rotation and scale. |
Daemons
|
Particle Skinner Daemon (DEFORMER) This Cinema 4D deformer lets your objects adjust their shape to RealFlow particles. |
Force Daemon Falloff Cinema 4D falloffs are now part of RealFlow force daemons, making them more customizable than ever. |
Kill Daemons Falloff This exclusive feature of RealFlow | Cinema 4D 2.0 lets you decide down to the finest detail where and how particles are killed. |
More Features
RPC to Alembic
Alembic is now the only output format for RealFlow | Cinema 4D. And we have made sure that our files can be directly read by Cinema 4D with the new Axis Setup parameter.
Spline Emitter Thickness
The new Thickness parameter for the Spline emitter lets you create thick layers of fluid at just a click away.
Filter Daemon
Filter daemon has been improved with the possibility of using expressions, the Vorticity and Emitter ID as a condition of the new Randomness parameters.
New parameters for filter daemon:
- Reset age.
- Keep source particle.
- Randomness parameters
Fill Emitter
New parameter “Fill mode” for Fill emitter to be able to use the same object for emission and collision.

On Windows the plugin will work with Cinema 4D R18, R19, R20, R21, S22, R23, S24, R25, S26, 2023, 2024 and 2025 (64 bit only);
on MacOS the plugin will work with versions R20, R21, S22, R23, S24, R25, S26, 2023, 2024 and 2025.
On MacOS, as the plugin is not natively compatible with the Apple Silicon processors yet, it requires starting Cinema using Rosetta for the plugin to be visible. In some versions of Cinema 4D S26, 2023, Cinema4D cannot be forced to use Rosetta so we suggest testing the plugin in demo mode before buying it to make sure it works on your side.
Windows 7 (or higher) or macOS 10.9 (or higher) operating system.
CPU 64-bit Intel® or AMD® multi-core processor.
8 GB RAM.
