Oregon Research is proud to present a new world of Amiga rendering and animation. Cinema4D is packed with powerful features that will satisfy the most demanding users.

Cinema4D provides a flexible multi-tasking development environment with powerful capabilities including window-based realtime interactive modeling, modeling directly in 3D, basic and complex primitives with uncountable variations, easy object manipulation, moveable tool, object and texture lists, user definable object hierarchies, & optimized versions for accelerators.

The Cinema4D animator breathes life into your objects and scenes, allowing you to effortlessly create your own reality. Whether your taskforce is docking with a new spacestation, or you're exploring around the darkest dungeon - with Cinema4D it's simple. With just a few mouse clicks you will have your objects move fluidly and realistically through time and space.

Cinema 4D's features include:

Extremely fast interactive real-time modeler   Edit scenes and objects directly in perspective.
Screaming fast rendering times   Undo function, Rendering always cancellable
 Moveable tool palettes, Keyboard shortcuts   Extensive Online help
Runs in any resolution screen Supports most Video Cards

Objects:

User-editable object primitives  Skinned and rotated objects, helix and spiral
 Complex objects (mannekin, morph, path, skinned, lathed, extruded, fractal, displacement, sun, and text)   Fractal mountain landscapes; Unlimited object numbers
 Easily editable object hierarchy; Direct point editing   Polygon and 3 spline style models; Scale modeling

Tools and Effects:

Flexible tools for object manipulation (warp, jitter, bend,center, align, join, distort, spin, smooth, extrude...)   Modeless point and polygon editing
Boolean operations; Fog; Phong shading   26 light styles; Spot, Sun, ambient,colored light
 Extensive materials library (glass, wood, metal...)   Texture settings for color, transparency, reflectivity, displacement, specularity and luminosity.
Texture and bump-mapping for realistic-looking objects Unlimited expandability with plug in open architecture

·Rendering:

Screaming fast rendering (wireframe, polygon) Optimized algorithms (octree, scanline)
 Special version of the ray-tracer for accelerated machines   Rendering can be started separately - fully multi-tasking
 Dynamic Antialiasing  

Output:

Professional quality (with up to 16.8 million colors) Unlimited graphics modes (ECS and AGA)
 Full support for direct display on graphics cards (Picasso, Retina, Merlin, Piccolo, EGS,etc.)   Selectable screen aspect ratios (NTSC, PAL, HDTV, etc.)
 Background picture can be faded in   All color depths supported

File conversion:

Imports and exports all common formats: LightWave, Imagine,Reflections,Videoscape, Sculpt, Turbo Silver, FastRay, PageRender, DXF (AutoCAD), etc.

Professional Animation:

Keyframe animation for objects and the camera   Flexible Key-frame settings (for position, size and attitude)
Point and Click Path-based animation for objects and camera   Hierarchical animation without further editing
 Inverse kinematic animation for character animation   Camera animation (position, target, focal length, bank,zoom)
Material animation (color, transparency, specularity,etc.) Texture animation (in animation playback)
Light animation (color, fade, cone angle) Sun animation (e.g. for simulating sunrise/sunset)

Animation Control:

Time list for graphical control of an animation Time control for precise timing for animations
 Genuine acceleration, braking and more complex functions are readily available   Interpolations can be selected for time and space (immediate, linear, B-spline, Akima, cubic)

Special Effects:

Explosions, Wind, Melting, etc.  Morphing
 Many more effects including User defined effects   Animation with additional parameters like background picture, ground and ambient light
 Easy to use animation controls with functions like Goto Start, Start, Stop, Fast Forward and Rewind, etc.   Preview function (any length animation is playable from hard drive or memory, in real-time, directly in the editor)

Cinema4D runs on all Amigas with a minimum of 3MB RAM, and Kickstart 2 or higher. Cinema4D supports all Amiga and graphic card modes (HAM, HAM8, 24-bit,etc.) and recognized file formats (LightWave, Imagine, Sculpt, DXF, Reflections, etc.). The package includes an extensive user manual with reference, tutorial & glossary sections. Let Cinema 4D help you experience the excitement of Computer Animation!
