“Support for Cinema 4D in-engine adds an important dimension to Unreal Engine viability for content creators across motion graphics and animation,” said Andy Blondin, Technical Product Manager, Mixed Media, Epic Games. “The new Datasmith plugin promises to deliver a more seamless content creation experience and creative flexibility to meet the demands of real-time, high-quality, interactive content creation.” “We are thrilled Epic Games is introducing native support for Cinema 4D in the latest release of Unreal Engine,” said David McGavran, CEO, Maxon. This integration brings us one step closer to getting there,” said Patrick Lee, Director of Real Time Systems at NFL Media. Envisioning the future, we anticipate playing out the majority of our virtual sets and augmented reality graphics through Unreal Engine as well. Ultimately, a real-time control room environment that included Unreal would save countless hours of render time and QC time as well as storage space. “It would be invaluable for our art directors to be able to bring all of that material directly into Unreal. NFL Media already uses Cinema 4D to generate hundreds of assets for pre-rendered graphics for both broadcast and online delivery, and is building towards porting those assets into Unreal Engine to cut out the rendering process for faster turnaround. “The interplay between Cinema 4D and Unreal Engine is a godsend for companies like ours working in motion graphics and game trailers.” Being able to bring our assets from Cinema 4D directly into Unreal and iterate quickly to accommodate client change requests without being constrained by a render pipeline is huge,” said Pilar Gut-Rod, Studio Producer at Capacity. “The Radical Summer trailer for Rocket League was very large in scope and working in Unreal really alleviated the pressure. Motion graphics design and animation production studio Capacity has been beta testing the new integration on projects for the NFL, and most recently an ‘80s retro “ Rocket League - Radical Summer” trailer for Psyonix. Cinema 4D’s ‘save for Cineware’ command allows users to easily bake complex procedural motion graphics directly into real-time scenes through the Unreal Engine Sequencer cinematic editor. c4d files directly into Unreal Engine with support for scene hierarchies, geometry, materials, lights, cameras, and baked animations. With this new level of integration, creators can natively import. Cinema 4D, which received a Scientific and Technical Achievement Academy Award in 2019, is a leading motion graphics and animation application used by media and entertainment professionals worldwide.
Cinema 4D support is enabled by Datasmith, which is now included in Unreal Engine 4.24. Epic Games introduced support for Maxon’s Cinema 4D in the release of Unreal Engine 4.23, opening up new potential for high-end creative workflows.
