Overview

Description

3ds Max offers a rich and flexible toolset to create premium designs with full artistic control. Save time with centralized creative tools for interactive light mixing, color correction, and lens effects on the rendered image. Automatically optimize the geometry of high-resolution models to create a clean, quad-based mesh geometry. Built-in weighted normal calculator that can be directly applied to 3D models allowing you to create precise designs. Create procedural animation and character rigging with CAT, biped, and crowd animation tools. Read more

Cinema 4D is a 3D computer animation, simulation, modelling and rendering solution. The particular software with its robust, stable and flexible toolset makes 3D workflows more efficient and accessible to proceed with. Thus enabling developers to generate motion graphics, AR/VR/MR, VFX and game UX as per convenience. Cinema 4D promises top-notch results for both individual developers and large teams. Inbuilt feature sets help users execute tasks like polygonal modelling, parametric modelling, volume modelling, sculpting, texturing and bodypaint 3D. They can also apply 200+ preset film looks or function with personalised colour correction tools as per requirement. Cinema 4D also helps developers create dynamic relationships between objects, use springs, motors or aerodynamics to proceed with spectacular simulations. Further, seamless Nuke, Sketchfab, Archicad and Allplan integrations offered by the software facilitates attractive outcomes. Newly added functionalities like asset browser, scene manager, capsules, spline import, track modifier tag and user interface enhancers assures are also of great help. Read more
