CINEMA 4D R11 Quickstart – Interface

This function can be very useful in modeling or animating your scene.

Now to the next group of three, the (green) Render Icons. The ﬁrst function (Render Active View), with a

clapboard as a symbol, renders the image in the editor view. The rendering will be made using the settings you

have speciﬁed, with exception of image size and several post effects. Icon number 2 renders the image in the

“picture viewer” using the settings you have speciﬁed in icon number 3’s “Render Settings”. You can also render

animations in the picture viewer since the function “Render Active View” (as the name states) is only meant for

checking the scene in the active view.

The next (blue) symbol is the group window “Add Cube Object“. It contains all of CINEMA 4D’s available

predeﬁned parametric objects.

One click and the world’s most used object is created – the cube. Click and hold to see all available parametric

objects. This is where you choose the initial shape you will need. And don’t forget! “Only parametric objects

that have been converted to polygon objects can be edited at a polygon, point or edges level!“

The yellow icon represents spline objects.
