Maxon to Show Cinema 4D at NAB

At NAB, MAXON will showcase Cinema 4D, the latest version of its 3D motion graphics, visual effects, painting, and rendering software application. Leveraging more than two decades of 3D graphics programming, Cinema 4D allows individual artists and design teams to incorporate high-end 3D functionality into motion graphics and visual effects projects in any medium, from film and broadcast to mobile game design and architectural visualization and product design.

At the Maxon booth, # SL5316, some of todays hottest professional 3D motion graphics designers and visual effects artists using Maxon software will provide insight into how Cinema 4D helps solve complex production challenges and inspires the making of award-winning feature films, broadcast graphics, commercials, and more

Earlier this month, Maxon and Adobe Systems Incorporated announced they had entered into a strategic alliance and would begin collaborating on solutions that would leverage the strengths of their respective technologies to simplify and further integrate a pipeline between Adobe After Effects software and Cinema 4D to give users a seamless 2D/3D workflow. Visitors to both the Maxon and Adobe booths at NAB will also see presentations demonstrating the production-friendly and robust connectivity that presently exists between these powerhouse 2D and 3D software toolsets.

Guest presenters currently confirmed to present work created with Maxon software include:

Campbell, the motion graphics phenom behind the online training and community resource for creatives - Greyscalegorilla, returns to the Maxon booth with his enthusiastic presentation style to show the tight integration between Cinema 4D and After Effects to make beautiful renders from start to final render.

John LePore, creative director at New York City-based Perception, will once again deliver an insightful and engaging presentation to demonstrate the flexibility and ease Cinema 4D provides in meeting razor-sharp deadlines on high profile projects for film and television like Men in Black III. LePore will focus on how the design team handles the race-to-the-finish-line in the earliest stages of production, often requiring the creation of detailed style-frames and complicated motion tests.

Barton Dameris a multi-award winning motion designer and digital artist working in a variety of mediums including print, web, live productions and broadcast television.
