This spring, Cinema 4D 2026.2 introduces new features including a Fabric Brush and more.
We’re expanding Cinema 4D to more platforms than ever before, empowering artists to create wherever inspiration strikes. Cinema 4D is now available for Windows on Arm (WoA) devices and will be coming to iPad in late 2026.
Cinema 4D on WoA brings professional 3D tools to a broader range of portable devices, so artists can take advantage of power-efficient tablets and laptops to create on the go.
Optimized for touch workflows, Cinema 4D on iPad will deliver core 3D design capabilities in a streamlined, mobile-first interface.
The artist-friendly Fabric brush allows you to shape soft materials directly in the viewport with speed and intuitive control. Instantly drape, fold, and sculpt soft objects without wrestling with complex rigs. Whether you are placing curtains, tweaking clothing folds, or shaping packaging, brush geometry into position and let simulation fill in realistic detail.
Use Redshift’s new Night Sky option to quickly fill in the background of a nighttime scene with a complete sky system for any time of the day at any location in the world. Match your night sky to whatever conditions you choose – like a moonlit city or rural desert with the Milky Way on full display.
The new symmetry option for the Bend deformer allows for mirrored bends from a single deformer. Being able to bend symmetrically around the center of an object has been a very common request from our community, as this task used to require several deformers and manual synching of parameters or complex rigging. The new Bend Deformer solves this by simplifying the setup of symmetrical bends and maximizing creative freedom.
Work smarter with complex scenes that contain dozens of materials. This feature enables you to instantly filter the Material Manager to show only the materials of your currently selected object. Avoid endless scrolling, skip manual layer setup, and stay focused on what’s relevant to your current task.
Bring loops to life with the Target Effector’s new Loop option. Whether it’s a radial array or clones on a closed spline, first and last clones now target each other for perfectly seamless circular or looped motion graphics effects.
