What's New
Cineware 2025 offers even more extensive Cinema 4D integration and includes several performance improvements under the hood. Transferring materials between Cinema 4D and Unreal is easier than ever: Use Direct Link and there’s no need to save files to disk when transferring. Note: Only works with Unreal Engine 5.0 and beyond and requires Cinema 4D 2023.0 or later versions.

Adobe After Effects
Cineware not only lets you load native Cinema 4D files into After Effects via drag & drop but also gives you complete control of 3D elements during the entire post-production process. Select and modify individual layers or objects in the Cinema 4D scene. Create final renders or individual passes directly in After Effects CC. Your 3D workflow in After Effects CC has never been easier – and your freedom never greater.
Cineware
Unreal
With Cinema 4D it's easy to create 3D models and animations you can use when creating games, real-time graphics or other interactive content in Unreal Engine. Importing C4D files directly into Unreal is an easy and reliable workflow. The powerful Cineware for Unreal plugin allows you to adjust specific attributes of a Cinema 4D file directly within Unreal Engine. Cineware For Unreal comes with a Datasmith Direct Link plugin for Cinema 4D. That way, data is transferred to Unreal Engine directly using the local cache, allowing artists to see the changes nearly instantly.
Cineware
Adobe Illustrator
Add and edit 3D objects directly within Adobe Illustrator using the Cineware for Illustrator plug-in. Apply your label artwork to 3D packaging or incorporate 3D elements seamlessly into your 2D artwork.
Cineware
Vectorworks
Vectorworks® Software exports directly into Cinema 4D via the Send to Cinema 4D command. Your Vectorworks file is instantly packaged and imported into Cinema 4D with all native geometry, layers and class structures as well as cameras, materials, HDRI backgrounds and 2D planar objects. From there you can create sophisticated, photorealistic images and animations, and architectural renderings or utilize the artistic, hand-drawn styles of the Sketch and Toon render engine.
Cineware
ArchiCAD
Cineware for ArchiCAD integrates Cinema 4D’s highly acclaimed high-end render engine into one of the leading AEC applications on the market and allows users to quickly and comfortably create compelling renderings. For architects and engineers who want to take their visualizations to the next level, Cinema 4D is the ideal choice. Thanks to the seamless integration, they can export their CAD models directly to Cinema 4D and have virtually endless possibilities for creating exciting, spectacular visualizations and animations.
