CINEMA 4D + Graphisoft ARCHICAD

 

The perfect combination


You can count on it - the eXchange plugin that enables all Graphisoft ArchiCAD users to seamlessly exchange data and files with MAXON's CINEMA 4D. Now, ArchiCAD users can visualize their projects on the same level they plan them.

The file exchange works in the same rock solid method that has already been used by MAXON for the connections to Vectorworks and Allplan. A plugin for ArchiCAD exports all relevant objects, object classes, materials, lights and cameras to a .ac4d-file, that can be imported into CINEMA 4D with the second plugin of the eXchange package. The file is transfered with all necessary hierarchies and structures.

 

 

It's just a matter of three mouseclicks to replace all (or part, if desired) of the ArchiCAD materials with photorealistic CINEMA 4D materials, thanks to the brand new Material eXchange plugin - also part of the eXchange package. Defining a reference file for all your ArchiCAD materials once then means you can use it for every new project. Naturally, further modifications are always possible.


Now it's time to make use of the many libraries that are available for CINEMA 4D and really make your visualisation come to life. A high-quality texture library for Architects is already part of the ArchiCAD eXchange set. Object libraries for cars, people, furniture, plants or streets are available from MAXON or third party manufacturers. With these libraries at hand you can spice up your project within minutes.


If you need to rework the ArchiCAD project after the visualisation was started - don't worry. An intelligent update function of the eXchange plugin compares new and old files and adds only the modifications to the visualisation (such as added windows, moved walls or deleted doors). So none of your previous work done in CINEMA 4D is lost.


When it comes to the final render, CINEMA 4D can help you achieve the results you require. The image quality of the standard render-engine of CINEMA 4D is already outstanding - and fast. But to add even more realism you can use the optional Advanced Render module for photorealistic effects such as Radiosity, HDRI and depth of field. If you prefer a more stylish or artistic approach, the Sketch and Toon module offers you all the tools you need to create pictures that look like scribbled or painted. CINEMA 4D does it all, just the way you like it.
