In order to introduce the industry’s most famous and popular high-quality rendering engine V-Ray into the superb 3D animation rendering & producing platform Cinema 4D, V-Ray for Cinema 4D (VRAY for C4D for short, AKA: V-RAYforC4D) was born. It was actually started and developed by spontaneously organized C4D users, and the whole process got full support from the parent company of V-Ray (Chaos Group) and MAXON.

As an excellent rendering enhancing plug-in/standalone app specifically designed for Cinema 4D users, VRAY For C4D is widely used in many fields, such as special effects in film, television advertisements, industrial design, architectural design, and so on. It provides powerful rendering scenes and rich, easy-to-use tools, comes with practical overall light tracing function with very high rendering performance, which can greatly optimize the light tracking technology.

There is no doubt that V-Ray is currently the best global light rendering solution. And, V-Ray for Cinema 4D can make Cinema 4D authentically become the best rendering platform for architecture design, interior design, and more.
