Take System
Flexible and Easy Scene Management
In film you shoot multiple takes to provide more options in the editing room. Cinema 4D’s Take System offers this same flexibility, allowing you to store multiple variations of a scene in a single file. You can easily create special render passes for compositing and the Take System goes above and beyond simple render layers. Modify and save almost any Cinema 4D setting in a Take: object attributes and animation, lights, cameras, materials, textures, color variations and more. Discover the possibilities:

Render Layers
Complex Compositing Made Easy
Complex compositing tasks often require custom render passes beyond the limits of Cinema 4D’s excellent Multi-Pass render system. Create special mattes and passes by adjusting object visibility and materials in a Take.
