Vectorworks is an excellent CAD software solution for design studios of all kinds.

Whether you work in architecture, landscape, entertainment, or manufacturing, Vectorworks gives you the flexibility and versatility you need to design it all. Plan your projects with Vectorworks' comprehensive 3D toolset and apply all types of materials to define the basic appearance of all included elements.

When everything is ready you can save your project as a CINEMA 4D file ready to visualize. Inside CINEMA 4D you will easily find all your objects as not only geometry but the materials and lights will be transferred as well. Even the project structure will be preserved for maximum comfort.

And even if subsequent changes need to be made to the project in Vectorworks, the intelligent update function helps get the changes into your visualization without loosing the work already completed.

CINEMA 4D is a full-featured 3D rendering package with outstanding image quality, used worldwide in the production of Hollywood blockbusters. CINEMA 4D Visualize lets you achieve the same image quality by offering the same knobs and dials for adjusting materials, lights and rendering parameters.

CINEMA 4D's material system offers 15 channels (color, diffusion, luminance, trasparency, reflection, environment, fog, bump, normal, alpha, specular, specular color, glow, displacement and illumination) each with a comprehensive set of shaders and parameters that let you create the perfect material – or you can use the advanced material presets from our library (see below).

Light objects also offer numerous parameters ranging from shape, illumination, shadow, falloff and visibility to photometric, caustics, lens effects and others. This allows you to create any kind of desired illumination, from daytime to nighttime, natural or artificial lighting and more.

For exterior renderings, the Physical Sky tool puts options such as sun position, the object's location on earth, clouds, atmosphere and even a rainbow or astronomically accurate planets and stars at your fingertips.

The camera offers controls for focal length, depth of field and a white balance. Multiple cameras in a scene can be managed through a stage object, eliminating the need for a separate movie editing software.

CINEMA 4D's Picture Viewer can do a lot more than just display a rendered image. With the filter tools you can make changes to saturation, exposure, contrast, and brightness, giving your image a personal style without needing to switch to an image editing application.
