Modeling
CINEMA 4D Studio can import and export a variety of file formats to integrate in almost every pipeline. The modeling toolset allows to work with parametric or polygon objects, subsivision surfaces and all kinds of deformers and modifiers. CINEMA 4D nonlinear modeling allows changes to parametric objects at anytime and at the same time being lightweight and fast.
Materials and Textures
CINEMA 4D offers all standard and advanced options for creating the perfect surface for your models. Materials have 14 different channels and you can even custom channels for specific needs (such as game engines). Use images or movies as textures or advanced shaders such als Subsurface Scattering or backlight. For high end texturing CINEMA 4D offers an industry standard 3D painting toolset.
Animation
When it comes to animation CINEMA 4D Studio is a Jack of all trades. Of course it features all the standard animation tool you'd expect from a high end 3D package.
Lighting
CINEMA 4D Studio contains a wealth of possibilities to light your scene. The various standard light and shadow types already come with a myriad of options to choose from falloff to volumetric, from lens effects to include and exclude lists.
Rendering
CINEMA 4D's render engine is fast and robust. Optimized for up to 64 processor threads it can render images and animations with multipasses and post effects quick and reliable.
