I think Maxon needs to rethink things at little. Side Effects I think finally dropped that. Personally I just think the C4D offerings are a bit overpriced and the concept of licencing levels I think is a bad idea. Please make sure that you always use the most current official graphics card driver (no beta versions).Since 2008 I have already decided to expand my software choices.īut if I was a LightWave artist now, looking to move sideways I think I would start with Modo Indie and Houdini Indie.īoth are in real strong development phases right now.

Due to the large number and types of available chip sets, operating systems and driver versions we cannot guarantee the compatibility of all systems. Maxon is not responsible for the compatibility of individual graphics cards with the DirectX 12, OpenCL or Metal mode. For Intel GPUs we recommend 16 GB of RAM due to integrated GPUs using up to the half of the computer's available RAM. GPU: only official supported hardware by Apple (feature set macOS GPUFamily1 v3+)Į-GPU: only official supported hardware (please refer to )Īlthough Cinema 4D supports all DirectX 12 feature level 11.0 or Metal GPUFamily1 v3-capable graphics cards, we recommend using a dedicated 3D graphics card with an AMD or NVIDIA chip set. Metal: macOS GPUFamily1 v3 or higher (see about this Mac → System report → Graphics/Displays) Minimum: NVIDIA Maxwell GPU (GeForce 900 series card or higher), AMD Polaris (AMD GCN 4) or higher (Radeon RX 400 card or higher), Intel Kaby Layke or newer supporting DirectX 12 with feature level 11.0
