Maxon’s Cinema 4D R23 includes Magic Bullet Looks, more

Maxon has announced the latest version of its Cinema 4D 3D software tool, Release 23 (R23). This version includes enhancements to its animation and UV workflows and character animation toolset and the inclusion of Magic Bullet Looks technology.

The introduction of the new Scene Nodes system provides a preview of the performance customers can expect in future developments of Cinema 4D. Plugin developers will appreciate the update to Python 3, and creative pipelines will benefit from the inclusion of USD import/export and updates to FBX and OBJ handling. R23 will be available on September 9 for subscription holders and will be available as an upgrade for perpetual license holders.

Features include:
• New character animation tools: Includes new Character Solver and Delta Mush workflows as well as a new Pose Manager and Toon/Face Rigs.
• Animation workflow: Better keyframing, filters for the Timeline and Attributes Manager.
• UV workflows: All the UV editing capabilities introduced in Cinema 4D S22 (the subscription-only upgrade) plus new tools geared toward UV workflows for hard-surface models.
• Magic Bullet Looks integration: Allows users to easily apply one of over 200 preset film looks, import LUTs or work with individual tools for color correction, film grain, chromatic aberration and much more.
• Scene Nodes: This allows users to explore massive Distributions and Procedural Modeling in advance of the further Cinema 4D core engine development for optimal creativity and experimentation.
