Cinema 4D integration - powered by Live Link
Seamlessly connect Cinema 4D with Ventuz through the Live Link plugin for real-time modeling and import. Instantly adjust 3D models while seeing live updates, enabling a smooth, efficient, and interactive workflow.
Real-time C4D workflow with Ventuz Live Link
Live Link allows you to tag objects in your C4D project, making them linkable with Ventuz for real-time editing. You can import entire subtrees or individual objects, which are made available via the Live Import Node for easy access.
Ventuz can import 3D-splines, geometries, animations, materials, and textures, with animations based on keyframes or generated using the mesh-baker for quick mesh sequences. This integration is perfect for dynamic content creation, rapid iteration, and on-the-fly modifications, showcasing Ventuz’s ability to modify and iterate designs in real-time.
Key features
Live Link
Forget the hassle of exporting and importing – Live Link makes it easy! Seamlessly link your Cinema 4D scene to Ventuz Designer and update meshes in real-time. Save time while designing virtual sets, as you won’t need to re-export the entire scene each time you make changes. Any adjustments to model positioning or scaling are instantly reflected in Ventuz Designer.
Splines
One standout feature of Live Link is the ability to use 3D splines – the only method to bring them into Ventuz. Use the generated paths for various Ventuz functions, like animating particles along the path or guiding objects through complex movements.
Cameras and animations
Easily tag and import cameras and their animations into Ventuz, making on-the-fly adjustments like a pro. Animate meshes to your liking and use the mesh-bake option for Live Link to ensure your imported animations appear just as you envision them in Ventuz.
Textures and materials
Create your materials in Cinema 4D and apply textures as needed. With Live Link, these values and textures are automatically imported into Ventuz, and any adjustments you make to materials or textures are instantly updated in real-time.
Integration description
The Cinema 4D integration is made possible through a third-party plugin created by Ventuz. Live Link works by adding Ventuz Tags to objects in your C4D project to make them linkable with Ventuz. You can decide to import a whole subtree or individual objects. After an Object has been tagged it will be made available for Ventuz by using the Live Import Node allowing you access to the objects from Cinema 4D.
Geometries, animations, materials, and textures are just a few of the possible elements that Ventuz can import. Animations can be based on keyframes, or you make use of the built in mesh-baker which creates an entire mesh sequence with a single click. The Cinema 4D Live-Link is an astonishing way of importing geometries into Ventuz and modify them in real-time. Live Link demonstrates Ventuz functionality and ability to quickly iterate through designs at its finest.
