C4Dzone’s FloorGen 2 creates procedural floors, wall coverings, tile layouts and baseboards inside Cinema 4D for €27.

For those who don’t know the tool, FloorGen is a Cinema 4D plug-in from C4Dzone for archviz and interior scenes. It sits in the modelling stage, generating floor and wall geometry before materials, lighting and final rendering.

Procedural flooring, less plank clicking

FloorGen 2 is a parametric generator for Cinema 4D R25 or newer. It creates procedural floors, wall coverings, tile layouts and parquet patterns from a polygon selection on an existing mesh or from a rectangular area. The pattern library includes more than 14 layouts, such as planks, herringbone, chevron, Versailles, French Pattern, and Opus Romanum. Smart normalisation keeps UV density uniform across mixed-size pieces.

The software interface on the right displays various tools and settings, enhancing the technical atmosphere.

The generator controls element dimensions, thickness, top-level offset, grout thickness, edge beveling and subdivision. Its baseboard system generates segmented skirting boards that follow the floor boundary or custom room-path splines, with custom profiles and cut-outs for door openings. This is the useful bit for interior shots: boards, grout and skirting boards can stay separated into manageable components instead of becoming one mystery lump that future-you will hate.

Materials and UVs

The material system provides up to 10 material slots for randomized distribution across tiles or planks. UV mapping controls include auto-orientation for selected layouts, rotation steps, texture scale and offset. The material workflow covers Corona, OctaneRender, Redshift, V-Ray and the native Cinema 4D renderer.

Presets, conversion and licensing

FloorGen 2 can save and load templates that include geometry, material links and custom baseboard profiles. It also keeps material references after conversion to editable geometry. A €27 purchase includes three activations. Activations can be used across three Cinema 4D releases on three workstations or across three versions on one workstation. After all activations are used, the plug-in must be repurchased. Activation is tied to Cinema 4D serials or subscription licenses, is not automatic after download, and may take at least 48 hours.

Requirements

System requirements are listed as Cinema 4D R25 or newer, OS X Snow Leopard or newer, and Windows 7 32/64-bit or newer. Yes, Windows 7, for anyone keeping museum-grade render nodes alive. Test the plug-in in a copy of a representative scene before using it in production, especially if your licensing setup spans several Cinema 4D versions.
