PCPRO Recommended

This is Cinema 4D at its best - real innovation making 3D modelling simple. And there's another great strength - extensibility. While the core program offers everything the average modeller is likely to need, advanced users will always want more power in their particular fields. Here, Cinema 4D's wide range of modules - and the XL (£1,409 inc VAT) and Studio bundles (£2,290 inc VAT) - come into play. Three modules see major upgrades (free with the upgrade to 10.5), with the highlights being HAIR's new support for multiple processors, MoGraph's ability to handle selections within its clone objects and MOCCA's new deformer objects for more realistic character animation.

So, with impressive power, ease of use, innovation, value and extensibility, Cinema 4D 10.5 comfortably retains its 3D crown.
