Polygonal Modeling
Visions Take Shape in Cinema 4D
Polygons are the building blocks of 3D, stitched together to create the objects of your imagination. With Cinema 4D’s complete polygonal modeling toolset, it’s easy to craft everything from cars to creatures.

Knife Tool
Cutting Edge Interactivity
Slice models with quick precision using a trio of tools that offer outstanding interactivity. Make more polygons and add more detail - edit cuts before committing, cut evenly-spaced slices, and add symmetrical loops with ease.

Plane Cut

Loop Cut

Line Cut


Polygon Pen
Paint polygons with Cinema 4D’s "Modeling Swiss army knife", a single super-tool for creating or retopologizing 3D models.

Create Polygon
Click to add points and quickly create polygons, whether modeling from scratch or snapping to existing geometry for retopology.

Rotate Edge
Refine the polygon flow by spinning an edge around its center.

Snap To Edge
Extend the surface easily with edges that snap to each other.

Draw Row
Paint strips of polygons interactively.

Modeling Arc
Convert simple edges into complex arcs in a single action.

Extrude
Create solid shapes by extruding, without changing tools.

Extrude
Extrude selected points, edges or polygons.

Stitch & Sew
Join object edges that have the same number of points.

Bevel
Soften hard edges without Subdivison Surface Objects.

Mesh Check
Show faulty elements on selected polygon objects.
