Cinema 4D is a professional tool that can be used to model and animate three-dimensional objects. It is left to the imagination of the user to decide whether it is just a small logo or rather complex, large-scale visualizations. Even polygons with more than four edges can be created without problems. This is made possible by the use of so-called N-gons. Initially, the software, whose origins date back to 1989, was built as a modular system. With the release of Cinema 4D R12, however, the manufacturers decided to split the application into four different packages. These are characterized by a different range of functions, which offers both beginners and advanced users a variety of options.
The smallest of these packages is Cinema 4D Prime, which basically offers basic equipment and is aimed primarily at graphic designers who want to add additional functions to their classic 2D pipeline. Import filters and numerous format connections make this possible without any problems. Cinema 4D Broadcast extends the functions of the Prime package by a number of tools that can be used to create moving 3D representations that are reminiscent of motion graphics. On board are not only render options, special setups and cloning tools, but also an extensive library. This has many different 3D models to offer. The manufacturer goes even further with Cinema 4D Visualize: The package, which represents a professional solution for designers, photographers and architects, enables not only the creation of still images and walkthroughs, but also realistic animations. After all, the largest of the packages is Cinema 4D Studio. It not only combines all the functions of the aforementioned versions, but also goes one step further: in addition to extended character tools and network rendering clients, there is also a physics engine.
Props to the guy who made the video!
