CINEMA 4D + Nemetschek Allplan



A perfect duo

 


Push your visualizations to the limit and discover new horizons in visualization with CINEMA 4D as your tool of choice for free-form modeling. CINEMA 4D and Allplan - the perfect match.
MAXON Computer - a Nemetschek company - has for many years been developing one of the leading programs for 3D visualization: CINEMA 4D. With over 100 international awards to its name, CINEMA 4D has for years offered artists the ultimate way to create 3D visualizations. Now architects using Allplan 2004 or higher can take full advantage of CINEMA 4D's award-winning features, including:


• easy to use tools
• direct connection to Allplan 2004/2005
• Free-form modelling in CINEMA 4D with excellent connectivity to Allplan
• Professional visualization of your Allplan design thanks to easy file exchange with CINEMA 4D
• intelligent update function
• numerous animation tools
• sketch rendering or photorealistic rendering
• radiosity feature for truly realistic lighting
• browser to manage model and texture libraries
• and much more!
 
 
From Allplan to CINEMA 4D
Enter a new dimension with your visualizations

 

 

Here, with the help of an example Allplan 2004 scene, we'd like to give you a brief overview of what you can do with this powerful software combination.
First the scene is exported from Allplan to CINEMA 4D - lights, cameras, colors and more are included in the exported file.

Thanks to its new import and export features, Allplan 2004 boasts improved support for the design and planning processes. For example, not only is the planning data transferred, but also the project structure and the materials that have been assigned.

In CINEMA 4D you then have a wealth of tools that make it easy to transform an object with basic coloring into a convincing visulaization. Each object or element in your project is fully editable in CINEMA 4D as a separate object.

Suppose you've transferred the object from Allplan to CINEMA 4D and added finishing touches in CINEMA 4D. What if you want to go back to Allplan to make changes to the design? Thanks to an intelligent update function, you can go back to Allplan at any time to make changes, then update the scene started in CINEMA 4D without losing the work already done.
 
 
From CINEMA 4D to Allplan
Free-form modeling, a wealth of new possibilities
Using XML you can also send objects you modeled or manipulated in CINEMA 4D back to Allplan. CINEMA 4D's modeling tools let you easily create free-form surfaces (e.g. tent tarps) that you can then
accurately place into your Allplan project.
Even objects set up in Allplan (e.g. closed curves) can be manipulated in CINEMA 4D and sent back to Allplan
where it can be manipulated further.

The advantages of two great construction tools combine to open the door to completely new design possibilities.


In this example, an eaves line from an Allplan file was imported into CINEMA 4D. Based on this eave, line a roof
was constructed and imported back to Allplan using Allplan Export.
 
 
Creating a Visualization in CINEMA 4D

You can, for example, precisely simulate the movement of the sun via longitude, latitude and time of day. This is only one of numerous possibilities available to you.

Set the mood with the advanced sketch renderer in the Sketch and Toon module

Allplan's direct export to the CINEMA 4D file format ensures that no data will be lost during the transfer process.
