UX changes include the option to click and drag inside numerical files to adjust parameter values, turning them into virtual sliders and support for HDR output in the viewport on high dynamic range monitors.Ĭapsules make it possible to create custom generators, modifiers and primitives Maxon describes the new look as “easier on the eye” and the layout as “way more logical for beginners”. There are also new ‘hot corner’ buttons at the corners of the screen, for quick access to key UI elements like the Asset Browser, Material Manager, Timeline and Coordinate Manager.

The tools palette is now context-sensitive, with the set of tools it displays updating according to the mode, object or tool currently selected: a behaviour that users can customise. The layout of the UI has also been updated, with a set of browser-inspired tabs along the top of the viewport for switching between open documents or interface layouts. The most immediately visible changes in Cinema 4D R25 are to the user interface, which now features new, flatter icon designs more in line with Maxon’s own new logo, and a reduced use of colour. We covered the changes when Cinema 4D S22 was released, so check out our original story for details. They include a new Asset Browser and Scene Manager – further extended in R25 – plus physics-enabled placement tools for scene layout and set dressing, and updates to character animation workflow. The news was announced at the 3D and Motion Design Show, alongside the public beta of Redshift RT and updates to other Maxon apps: Trapcode Suite 17, VFX Suite 2, Magic Bullet Suite 14 and Universe 5.įirst chance for perpetual licence holders to use the new features from Cinema 4D S24Ĭinema 4D R25 provides holders of perpetual licences with their first chance to upgrade to use the functionality added in Cinema 4D S24, Maxon’s previous subscription-only update.
