The new update functionality now enables users to merge changes made in ArchiCAD into their existing CINEMA 4D visualizations.
ArchiCAD users can take advantage of CINEMA 4D's intuitive organic modeling toolset to create or modify breathtaking architectural structures of almost any shape. Functions like Bend, Twist and Magnet give architects complete artistic freedom for their creations. ArchiCAD projects can also be sent to CINEMA 4D to produce high-end visualizations and animations.

"We are delighted about the depth and quality of the integration Graphisoft and MAXON can deliver to our mutual customers.
