Integrated Cinema 4D rendering
U-Render 2020.07 introduced a preview of rendering directly inside the Cinema 4D viewport, removing the need to install the Windows standalone renderer for that workflow. Users could also display the renderer in a movable floating window.
Version 2020.7.6 presented U-Render as a fully integrated Cinema 4D renderer. Its real-time design followed game-engine principles rather than a conventional offline renderer, while retaining support for core Cinema 4D features. The update also added volumetrics and subsurface scattering.
Availability
The standalone edition was available only for Windows 10. A single-user licence cost €299 at the time, and a trial was available; current terms may differ. The archived release announcement contains further information. Treat the viewport integration as preview software and test materials, volumetrics and output matching before production use.
