In brief: Maxon released an update to Cineware for Unreal in December, targeting Unreal Engine 4.27.
New functions:
- Dynamic Cinema 4D content import without precaching. Datasmith transferred complete C4D scenes while reducing the required intermediate files.
- Unreal-side editing of C4D content and properties, including text and scene settings through input fields or the Blueprint editor.
- Import of C4D files produced by other applications, including Allplan, Archicad and Vectorworks, through Datasmith for architectural visualisation.
Further information: Maxon documented the Unreal integration on its product page. Digital Production previously covered Cineware for Unity. Test scene conversion, materials and Blueprint-exposed properties before production use.
