CINEMA 4D is a modeling, animation and rendering package developed by MAXON Computer GmbH of Friedrichsdorf, Germany. It is capable of procedural and polygonal/subd modeling, animating, lighting, texturing, rendering, and common features found in 3d modelling applications.

As well as the core application (for modelling, texturing, lighting and rendering), CINEMA 4D can be expanded with several add-on programs (called modules) that provide additional capabilities. These modules include:

Modules

• Advanced Render (global illumination/HDRI, caustics, ambient occlusion and sky simulation)
• BodyPaint 3D (direct painting on UVW meshes)
• Dynamics (for simulating soft body and rigid body dynamics)
• Hair (simulates hair, fur, grass, etc.)
• MOCCA (character animation and cloth simulation)
• MoGraph (Motion Graphics procedural modelling and animation toolset)
• NET Render (to render animations over a TCP/IP network in render farms)
• PyroCluster (simulation of smoke and fire effects)
  • With CINEMA 4D R10, the module PyroCluster became integrated in the Advanced Render module
• Sketch & Toon (tools for cel shading, cartoons and technical drawings)
• Thinking Particles (enhanced particle system based on nodes)
• Expresso

[edit]

• Additional rendering engines

As of 2007, these alternative rendering engines and connections are currently available as plug-ins for CINEMA 4D:

• finalRender stage 2.0 SP4 from Cebas Computer GmbH
• FryRender from RandomControl
• Maxwell Render from Next Limit Technologies
• Pixar Renderman Connection Cineman from MAXON Computer GmbH
• Indigo Renderer, unbiased photorealistic renderer
• Octane Render, unbiased GPU-accelerated renderer
• SunFlow
• V-ray
• mental ray & iray from at² GmbH
• Version history

1990	Christian and Philip Losch enter their ray-tracer into Kickstart magazine's monthly programming contest, and won the competition.
1991	FastRay (CINEMA 4D's first name) is released for the Amiga.
1993	CINEMA 4D V1 is released for Amiga.
1994	Release of CINEMA 4D V2 for Amiga.
1995	Release of CINEMA 4D V3 for Amiga. Plans are made for porting CINEMA 4D to the PC platform. New programmer team begins development of a completely new, operating-system-independent architecture.
1996	CINEMA 4D V4 for Windows, Alpha NT and Macintosh is released. The first multi-processor version of CINEMA 4D is made available.
1997	The development of a production-level version begins, integrating the latest technologies. The first production-worthy version is released — CINEMA 4D XL V5.
1998	CINEMA 4D SE V5 is released.
1999	CINEMA 4D GO V5 and CINEMA 4D NET are introduced.
2000	CINEMA 4D XL V6 is released. BodyPaint 3D is made available as an integrated version for CINEMA 4D, and as a standalone version for other 3-D packages.
2001	CINEMA 4D ART is introduced. PyroCluster and Dynamics modules are introduced. CINEMA 4D XL R7 is shipped worldwide. MAXON integrates the shader set Smells like Almonds from bhodiNUT.
2002	CINEMA 4D R8 is released with a modular system. The new modules are Advanced Render, PyroCluster, MOCCA and Thinking Particles.
2003	CINEMA 4D R8.5 is released. BodyPaint 3D R2 is introduced. Sketch and Toon module is introduced.
2004	CINEMA 4D R9 is released.
2005	CINEMA 4D R9.5 is released. HAIR module is introduced.
2006	CINEMA 4D R9.6 is released. MoGraph module is introduced. CINEMA 4D R10 with integrated BodyPaint 3D is released.
2007	CINEMA 4D becomes the first professional 3-D graphics application released as a Universal Binary for Apple's new Intel-powered Macs (even before Apple Universal Binary versions of its own software are released). Service update R10.1 is released in March, in response to bug feedback provided to Maxon by users and testers. Service update R10.111 released to address several reported problems, such as stability. CINEMA 4D R10.5 is released, and features updates to MOCCA and MoGraph, as well as an optimization of the HAIR module.
2008	CINEMA 4D R11 released. CINEMA 4D supports 64-bit architecture on Apple G5 and Intel-powered Macs. A new implementation of Global Illumination (included in the Advanced Render module) offers a higher quality than that of the old version, and much improved animation support. Non-Linear Animation has been completely reworked. The Renderman support (CINEMAN) is now included in AR.
2009	CINEMA 4D R11.5 released. Introduces MoGraph 2 (which includes MoDynamics [Uses the Bullet Engine], PolyFX, and MoSplines) Bucket rendering reduces render times and manages clone instancing and memory management much more efficiently. Anti-Aliasing methods to choose from are Scanline, Ray-Tracing, and Hybrid (which uses both to best optimize quality vs. speed). Also greatly improved Subpolygon Displacement and Area Shadows efficiency and speed using Multi-Threading. An enhanced Picture Viewer that will allow a history of renders, RAM previews, and A/B swiping. Also, manages post filtering and Multi-Pass Layers. Full 3D support for Apple Motion, and improved support with Adobe After Effects. Also, exports clones and XRefs to Motion and After Effects, as well as the ability to bring in solids for mapping video onto 3D surfaces. It can also export multiple cameras at once. Fully compatible with Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) and Windows 7. Quicktime for Windows (64 bit) now supported. File exchange for FBX 2010.0 Other new features include a new Camera Shader which will map any camera view onto any surface, improved MoGraph Effectors, and other general improvements and refinements.
2010	CINEMA 4D R12 released. Dynamics has been improved (complex physicengine) Renderer works better / faster. Menu has been cleaned up. Many minor improvements like the Shaders and Materials. Linear workflow introduced with correct display in OGL. Double precision calculation introduced and true units. Support for IES lights and physically correct lighting. Integration of Python Support of OpenGL 3 Support for PPC CPUs (G5) dropped.

A Word About Graphics Cards

In short, CINEMA 4D and BodyPaint 3D run on any OpenGL-capable graphics card (which includes the vast majority available in the past 10 years). We do however strongly recommend using a dedicated 3D graphics card with a chipset from ATI or nVidia. Currently, powerful graphics chips are also available on mid-range notebooks.
