Cinema4D 2025.1 updates (VIDEO TUTORIAL)

Hey, I sneaked a quick one to showcase some things in new Cinema4D that came out 2 days ago. There are a lot of bug fixes, so be sure to update if you are on the 2025.x versions.
I also managed to do almost proper advection with this version, so this month i might take a little detour -call it xmas bonus?- and add more things than usual on top of my current explorations for Camp Mograph.

Let me know what you think of new Cinema4D and what are you favorite features so far from 2025 version.

Love,
T.

tell me about it.. i always do viewport previews as usually if something is wrong shows there too..

"working in viewport, but not working in render"... that one should have PTSD trigger warning. so many sleepless nights figuring out whats happening and how i could just bake things that i cant bake

Michal Balla

ahh right same as this effector i was using after sims, it disappeared. Lets hope they ll keep this one now lol im tired

Thanos Kagkalos

It would allow you to make changes to clones in their new global positions once affected by dynamics. They had it for R25 or something and then took it away again. So useful!

I feel you bro... I been extremely frustrated and i was even toxic to maxon people recently as whatever I was doing during production was problematic. To be honest, if i hadnt be doing art direction and was fully hands on all the time like in the past i would be VERY angry. This version had many bugfixes but cant really speak to its qualities just yet. Im on a gig atm so i will probably find out soon lol

Thanos Kagkalos

cant really remember but i think it was xp branch, i just found this alembic from 3 years ago haha

Thanos Kagkalos

never used it, what was it doing?

Thanos Kagkalos

np! always check rocket lasso youtube for this, usually he makes great walkthroughs for every single feature as he is in beta

Thanos Kagkalos

im on it!

Thanos Kagkalos

<3

Thanos Kagkalos

i know but in alembics it really bugs out. Eg. if you open the scene whatever u done doesnt work anymore. Or when u change cloner count, u have to do again everything from the start

Thanos Kagkalos

Can't wait for the show and tell for proper advection :)

Hoi

Lovely tut. Thanks bro!

Mikhail

You can have multiple field driver tag, and drag the tag to the value you need to control. Or you just duplicated the tag, and right click the value and set a driver tag.

I was really shocked by how many bugs there are in the latest versions of C4D, with a net increase from 2024 version. Even some core feature such as the 'convert to alembic' are broken and other basic things are just randomly working or glitching. I love C4D but at some point it almost began to be a burden during production on certain projects where we had to take hours understanding why something isn't working, only to realize afterward that it was a bug. It is not a free or even a cheap software, I really don't understand what is wrong with the devs or the direction at Maxon. I am looking forward to this new version and hopefully things are working... just... as they should. Thanks Thanos for what you do!

Jeremy Shin

Would also love to see how you made those growing trees. Would that be using taiao?

flexcop

oh finally! I've been begging them to bring back the CV-Dynamics Passthrough for years. Super important functionality

flexcop

Thanks for the video. Maxon hasn't seemed to release any actual helpful videos overviewing the updates.

adam forbes

you mean exporting and stuff? many things i tried did work yeah. But cant tell just yet about any different situation haha

Thanos Kagkalos

Does alembic work yet?
