Projection Product Of The Year, Content Creation: Maxon Cinema 4D Studio R12

Maxon Cinema 4D Studio R12 ramps up the benchmark for professional 3D artists, with amazing new rendering tools for better image quality in shorter time, an all-new dynamics system, and a wealth of other time-saving and creativity-enhancing tools.

"One thing I absolutely love is that I mainly use it for graphics because I can get a really interesting graphic moving and animated, and I can tweak it really easily," says animator Eli Kleeman, who used it for LA Opera’s Ring Cycle, with 1,500 projection cues. One of our judges adds, "It brings an incredible level of intuitive 3D app to content creation. It works seamlessly with Vectorworks and Adobe After Effects, making it a content creation heavyweight and a show design and previsualization must-have."
