Cinema 4D R13

CINEMA 4D offers you all you need to create high-end 3D pictures and animations - right out of the box. And CINEMA 4D's modular design - with a total of 8 modules that you can buy individually - allows you to custom fit the application to suit your needs and your budget. While the XL and Studio bundles offer groups of modules at significant savings. 

CINEMA 4D Release 9 offers more features than ever before. No matter if feature film, tv, advertising, science, architecture, product design or any other other field that counts on professional results.
