Unpack This!
If you've struggled with UVs in the past, you're going to love the new workflow advancements. With unified component modes and improved selection tools, you’ll enjoy the Cinema 4D artist-centric workflow you’ve come to expect. If you'd rather not mess with UVs, you'll really appreciate the easy new Automatic Unwrap option.
IMPROVED UV UNWRAPPING
Progressively unwrap your 3D objects by pinning points, selecting edges to use as seams in either the 3D or UV window, and clicking the new UV Unwrap Command.
AUTOMATIC UVs
Generate automatic UVs that make the most of your texture resolution - great for baking maps for export or simply getting a jump start on the 3D painting process. Thanks to the Ministry of Flat Technology developed by Eskil Steenberg of Quel Solaar, you can generate great UVs with a single click.
VISUALIZATION
See your seams in the 3D view while unwrapping, easily spot distorted or overlapping elements, and visualize your UV map with the help of multi-color islands or a UV checkerboard.
EFFICIENT PACKING
Arrange UV islands efficiently thanks to new packing options that take full advantage of texture space.
What a View!
Your window to the 3D world just got better, and is ready to take advantage of tomorrow’s technology. Get the best picture and clear the clutter with improved filter options. Enjoy more accurate display of shaders and improved performance with multi-instances. Full support for Apple Metal means the viewport is more than ready for modern Mac systems, and a new core architecture sets the foundation for more great things to come!
GLTF EXPORT
Export geometry, materials, cameras, PSR animation, PoseMorphs and Joint-based animation via GLTF for use in modern Web and Augmented Reality applications.
GOZ BRIDGE
Seamlessly exchange models, UVs and painted maps between Pixologic ZBrush and C4D. The workflow is a breeze - send a model to ZBrush, modify it and send it back with just one click. This new bridge supports millions of polygons, and even imports polypaint and polygroup information.
NODAL MATERIALS
Export a baked representation of nodal materials via Cineware or FBX, and create nodal materials when importing FBX. Additionally, your favorite third-party render engines also have the option to export a simplified version of their materials for Cineware or FBX.
MODELING
Modeling tools are faster and more robust thanks to a new core, but most importantly they’re much better at preserving UV and Vertex Maps.
ANIMATION
Copy and Paste animation tracks, select splines more easily, and enjoy a number of usability enhancements to character animation tools including Spline IK and Constraints.

Cinema 4D Editor's Review
Create professional graphic renders with this awesome Windows graphics tool.
Creativity is an awesome outlet. Some of my most relaxing times are when I am busy creating something, be that writing, drawing, sculpting or painting. As computers are one of my most favorite things, being able to combine my creativity with my love of technology is pretty cool. Its for this reason that I really like Cinema 4D Studio. It’s a graphics tool for your Windows PC.
Cinema 4d Studio R20
Cinema 4D Studio is a great tool for professional, 3D artists. If you want to create advanced 3D graphics but need a helping hand, then this may be a great choice for you. Cinema 4D Studio adds advanced character tools, hair, a physics engine and an unlimited client network for rendering. The results can be stunning. Cinema 4D Studio can tackle just about any project you throw at.
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. You can easily grow, comb, style and animate hair and fur easily. The physics engine makes it simple to perform complex collisions and interaction between any number of objects.
One of the app's best features is Network rendering. As any graphic artist knows, rendering can take quite a long time, even on the more advanced and more powerful computers available today. Network rendering allows you to take advantage of all computers on your network and can help render your animations faster.
Cinema 4d Studio R17
App Pro’s: network rendering, physics engine
App Con’s: Application download is LARGE (just over 2GB), Outrageously expensive
Cinema 4d Studio
Conclusion: While Cinema 4D Studio is designed for advanced 3D, the extra tools found in it are still user-friendly and intuitive. Generating advanced 3D affects such as hair is pretty easy and fast. The app does 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 Download
While the app may be great, its completely out the consumer price range at nearly $4000 USD, as of this writing. Unless you're a serious graphic artist, or unless this app is something that your company can purchase for you, this isn't something a regular user will purchase.
