Macworld - 1 / 2006

"CINEMA 4D R9.5 raises the bar again," says Macworld

"This upgrade has made an already excellent program even better"

Renowned for its incisive reviews, the UK's Macworld magazine has hailed CINEMA 4D R9.5 as an "excellent" program that just got "even better." Macworld also praised the dramatic speed up in render times that allows scenes to render up to 3 times faster than before: "Rendering times are impressive. (One of our test scenes) rendered in version 9, for example, took 3 minutes 30 seconds to complete; whereas that same scene rendered in the new version took only 2 minutes 40 seconds."

Macworld was clearly impressed with the latest and most powerful CINEMA 4D to date:

"Version 9.5 once again raises the bar. The CINEMA 4D interface, already among the most intuitive of the 3D giants, is even easier to use. MAXON seem determined to keep CINEMA 4D at the cutting edge... One of the best 3D packages available on any platform."

"Unlike far too many commercial software developers, MAXON has an established reputation for providing value for money. There is plenty here to keep the most expert of CINEMA 4D users busy."

"(The new Sky Manager) enables users to automatically generate realistic-looking volumetric and fully animated skies. Volumetric clouds can even be painted. The Sky feature has been implemented with a style and simplicity that is a joy to use."

"This upgrade has made an already excellent program even better."
