  Whether you are a novice or professional user, CINEMA 4D's easy to use interface will speed up your workflow. Let your creativity roam free without having to worry about a steep learning curve.
  
• Modular Expandability
  CINEMA 4D's modular architecture allows you to put together a 3D software package that fits your needs and your budget. .
  
• Completely Cross-Platform
  Whether you are a Windows wizard or Mac addict, you will enjoy the same great features and outstanding performance.
  
• Plays Well With Others
  Pipelines are not just for oil anymore. They fuel the workflow of every 3D artist. CINEMA 4D's open architecture and flexible toolset makes it ideal for any pipeline.
  
• Modeling Without Boundaries
  Shape your own reality. CINEMA 4D's extensive modeling toolset helps you create virtually any shape you can imagine, from the technical intricacies of an engineering marvel to the organic curves of a fanciful creature.
  
• Paint to Perfection
  Procedural maps can only so so much. Use CINEMA 4D to paint directly on your 3D models for ultimate surface control.
  
• Animation Advantages
  Animate your objects in CINEMA 4D with a click of a button or use F-Curves to adjust the timing of your tweening. The fourth dimension is time, and true to its name, CINEMA 4D makes it easy to animate virtually any parameter.
  
• Breathtaking Rendering
  The industry has long recognized CINEMA 4D's outstanding render speed. With image quality to match and Multi-Pass magic that makes compositing a breeze, you will be rendered speechless.

New Features Include:

• New Timeline Features
  The all-new Timeline that debuted in Release 10 has been further enhanced in Release 10.5, to offer even better control over animation and help tame your cluster of keyframes. It' is easy to create basic animation in CINEMA 4D and Release 10.5 makes it easier than ever to fine-tune timing and create motion magic.
• X-Refs
  Release 10.5 offers a powerful new external referencing system (XRefs) to help manage large projects and share assets within a team.
• Improved HTML Documentation
  The context-sensitive HTML help system introduced in Release 10 has been enhanced in R10.5 to make it easier to find the feature or solution you're seeking. An improved index and full-text searching now return more relevant results, and search terms are now highlighted within the help text. Once you've found the information you're seeking, the page can now be bookmarked for easy future reference - just like in your web browser.
• UV Tools - Unwrap UVs Faster and More Cleanly
  CINEMA 4D Release 10.5 adds UV unwrapping using the powerful ABF algorithm, for faster and more clean unwrapping of organic meshes. This new weapon joins an arsenal of UV editing tools available in CINEMA 4D and BodyPaint 3D, including LSCM mapping, optimal mapping and projection-based mapping.
• DWG Import
  CINEMA 4D Release 10.5 continues to open new doors to the architectural visualization and engineering communities with the addition of DWG import. Widely used by AutoCAD users and the CAD community as a whole, the DWG format offers an outstanding means of importing CAD drawings into CINEMA 4D for visualization.
• New Allplan 2008 Connection
  CINEMA 4D R10.5 offers much improved connectivity to Allplan 2008. A CINEMA 4D scene file or object can now be easily sent to Allplan 2008 with a click of the mouse. Previous limitations in terms of polygon count are a thing of the past. Even objects that are deformed, twisted or smoothed maintain their appearance when transferred to Allplan 2008. This functionality offers great possibilities for finding new shapes and forms in architecture.
• Heads Up Display
  Among the many HUD improvements, you can now drag and drop parameters directly from the Attribute Manager into the HUD. Objects can be dropped directly into the HUD as well, to make selections easier. Object HUD elements can automatically activate the move, scale or rotate tools, or even execute any CINEMA 4D command or script. HUD parameters are now stored with their associated objects too, so you can merge multiple scenes without losing your controls.
• Lighting Tools
  Release 10.5 introduces a revolutionary way of lighting your 3D scenes. With the new lighting tool, you don't arrange lights within the scene. Instead, you arrange the lighting itself.
• Modelling Tools
  Three new modeling tools give a boost to CINEMA 4D's ability to create any object you can imagine: Connect, Dissolve, Spin Edge.
