Friedrichsdorf, Germany – October 27, 2021 – Maxon is pleased to announce that the latest version of Adobe® After Effects® includes an updated version of Cinema 4D Lite from Maxon. Based on the S24 version of the industry-winning Cinema 4D, the software is available immediately for download to Adobe Creative Cloud® members. In addition to compatibility and workflow improvements, this latest version includes the Resource Navigator which offers 3D models, materials and other items ready to use and animate. This latest update is a testament to the continued collaboration between Maxon and Adobe to deliver improved integration and performance between Maxon’s powerful 3D application, Cinema 4D, and Adobe After Effects, the industry-leading animation and visual effects software. .
Artists can use Cinema 4D Lite to create and import 3D content into their After Effects projects. Cinema 4D content can be added to After Effects projects as footage, and artists can extract scene data (cameras, 3D objects, object masks, etc.) that can be manipulated in After Effects. For After Effects users, this is a great way to explore the exciting world of 3D animation for free, including modeling, materials, lighting, and animation.
In addition to improved compatibility and workflow, Cinema 4D Lite S24 includes a new Resource Browser that makes it easy for artists to find and obtain 3D models, materials and other resources. A resource library has been specially designed and made available to Cinema 4D Lite users. Resources are organized using rich metadata and keywords, and are downloaded and cached locally on demand.
The latest version of Cinema 4D Lite can be launched in After Effects and independently as a stand-alone application. And, because Cinema 4D Lite uses Maxon’s new licensing system, users can instantly upgrade to the full retail version at any time, right from Cinema 4D.
