Cinema 4D is a professional 3D animation, modeling, simulation and rendering software solution. Fast, powerful, flexible, and stable, this powerful toolset makes 3D workflows more accessible and efficient for design, motion graphics, VFX, AR/MR/VR, game development, and all types of visualization.

Cinema 4D 2025.1 delivers enhanced performance and reliability with an all-new Booleans system for precisely combining and subtracting shapes, allowing you to create unique and intricate models that defy cookie cutter conventions. The new Booleans produce clean geometry, ensuring final results are both visually appealing and technically sound. Multiple shapes can be combined in a single hierarchy, which makes it easy to animate cuts with Cinema 4D’s MoGraph toolset. Advancements in particle and rigid body dynamics allow for precise control over particle behavior, seamlessly integrating across various modifiers and emitters. Leverage the versatile Particle Node Modifier to craft intricate particle simulations using Scene Nodes, offering greater flexibility and creativity. Simulations benefit from enhanced collision detection in Rigid Body dynamics, ensuring realistic interactions. Improvements to USD Import and Export offer support for skeletal animation as well as camera and light properties. The modernized XRef system handles complex scenes with ease, allowing for easier team collaboration and better interoperability. Additionally, Cinema 4D introduces new training tools designed to help new users kickstart their journey into the 3D world.
