Maxon warns that some upgrades and features (such as access to Cineversity and plugin libraries) will only be accessible to users on a subscription license. Those users will also be offered a new two-year subscription at a discount. Users with an existing Maxon Service Agreement (MSA) will receive a perpetual license for Cinema 4D R21 which will allow them to continue using the software, but will not entitle them to future upgrades. Maxon is also moving to a subscription-based licensing service in addition to its existing perpetual license model. This move allows Maxon to offer one singular version of Cinema 4D that includes the complete feature set, and should reduce customer confusion over which edition to purchase. The features from the various Cinema 4D editions and BodyPaint 3D will be consolidated into R21 and will continue to be developed. Maxon is doing away with its multiple editions of Cinema 4D: BodyPaint 3D and Cinema 4D Prime, Broadcast, Visualize, and Studio editions are set to be discontinued on September 1. Licensing ChangesĪrguably more important than the additional features in R21 are the changes Maxon is making to Cinema 4D packaging and licensing with this release: Improved Interface - Includes speed augmentations for quicker modeling operations, and a more modern UI with improved color, menus, and defaults.įor the complete list of new features and performance improvements, check out the Maxon’s R21 features list here. Rendering improvements - Includes the addition of the Intel Open Image Denoise library and additional nodes and UI improvements to accelerate workflow. Improved support for Mixamo animations - Offers a quick way to implement character animation. Improved Volume Builder - Includes a new cache layer for faster workflow, a UI for defining and adjusting thickness along spline volumes, and ability to create curvature vertex maps with the Volume Mesher. Vector Volumes - Allows directions to be stored in voxel grids, which can be used with the Field Force dynamics object to create and control new forces. Highlights include:Ĭaps and Bevels - Introduces a new system for creating convex and concave bevels on any spline-based object, including 3D text.įield Force - A new dynamics object that offers additional flexibility to control dynamic forces in the MoGraph toolset. With any new software version, an updated features list is to be expected, and R21 is no exception. In addition to the updated feature set expected with any major release, Maxon announced that licensing for R21 will be available on a subscription basis, bringing Cinema 4D in line with other subscription-based products like Autodesk’s Maya and Adobe Creative Cloud. Cinema 4D R21, the newest version of Maxon’s popular 3D software, is set to release on September 3.
