In R20, key features such as Subsurface Scattering, motion blur, and multi-passes are now available.

ProRender improvements – The GPU-based ProRender in Cinema 4D lets customers utilize the power of the GPU to create physically accurate renders.

The scale-based tessellation feature of the import function offers individual control of the level of detail for impressive visualizations.

CAD Import – Cinema 4D R20 offers seamless drag and drop import for common CAD file formats such as Solidworks, STEP, Catia, JT, and IGES.

Node-based materials can be made available as parametric assets with a reduced interface.

The existing standard material system’s interface can be used to get started with the new node-based workflow.

Node-based material system – More than 150 different node-based shaders offer customers a new and streamlined workflow to quickly and conveniently create shading effects from simple reference materials to highly complex shaders.

Volumes created in R20 can be exported sequentially in OpenVDB format and can be used in any application or render engine that supports OpenVDB. Any primitive or polygon object (including the new Fields objects) can be combined to create complex objects using Boolean operations.

Volume-based modeling – The OpenVDB-based Volume Builder and Mesher in Cinema 4D R20 offer an entirely new procedural modeling workflow.

Effects can be re-mapped and grouped in multiple Fields to control Effectors, Deformers, weights and more. Fields can be mixed and combined with one another in a layer list. The Fields feature in Cinema 4D R20 makes it possible to efficiently control the strength of the effect using any combination of falloffs – from simple geometric shapes to shaders and sounds to objects and mathematical formulas.

MoGraph Fields – Offer unprecedented content creation possibilities to the procedural animation toolset in MoGraph.
