Red Giant added text effects for Universe, new sprites for Trapcode and performance updates for VFX. Moves by Maxon gets a facelift. And Maxon continues to add value to its Capsules initiative with new assets for Cinema 4D.
Soft Body Simulation
Cinema 4D
Cinema 4D 2023 introduces new features, including Symmetry modeling as well as enhancements to the Unified Simulation System. Highlights include:
Cinema 4D's Unified Simulation System now includes Soft Bodies and new stickiness and mixed animation options.
Vertex Maps and Vertex Color tags controlled by Fields now work on most generators, which allows artists to use procedural elements when creating eye-catching effects.
Modeling with Symmetry allows mirrored changes on the model. Users can define the symmetry using the world grid, the object axis, a custom workplane, or even the topology of the model.
OpenColorIO enables artists to take full advantage of cinematic ACEScg color space and a unified color pipeline across all Maxon tools. Redshift OCIO support seamlessly integrates with Cinema 4D's settings.
Watch Folders in the asset browser allows the storage of assets anywhere on the file system.
The improved GoZ bridge lets artists easily transfer models between C4D and ZBrush, making it simpler than ever to render sculptures with photorealism.

Redshift
Rounded Corners for Redshift CPU (previously only Redshift GPU).
Random Walk mode for better detail, colors and more accurate subsurface scattering. Great for skin, wax and jade.
Major developments over the last few months to improve volume technology. New blackbody shading controls for recreating realistic looking fire and smoke VDBs with emission colors based on temperature. The introduction of volumetric anisotropy to control how volumes react to the incoming light direction.
Material Stacking for decals, material blending and texture remapping.

Forger
Forger now includes Cinema 4D's feature-rich, proven polygonal modeling engine so artists can build highly sophisticated hard-surface models in Forger.
Polygonal Modeling Tools for extruding points, edges or polygons, beveling edges, creating insets on faces and bridging parts of a model and more - right inside of Forger.
A seamless transition between these new modeling tools and the organic and intuitive 3D Sculpting tools Forger is famous for makes it a powerful tool for any 3D creator.
On-screen 3D Gizmo supplies useful actions such as moving along an axis, rotation, scaling and transforming.
Artists can now move their work between Forger and Cinema 4D using the new Sharing feature.
