Already, Epic Games has a relationship with Maxon’s Nemetschek Group sister company, Graphisoft, with Twinmotion, itself powered by the Unreal Engine. The integration of Unreal Engine to Cinema 4D is another major win for Epic as it competes with Unity in the drive to embrace professional digital content creation (DCC) markets.

Launched in 2019, Epic MegaGrants is a $100 million program to globally accelerate the work of talented teams and individuals working with Unreal Engine, 3D graphics tools, and open-source software.Ĭinema 4D’s range of tools and features, alongside Unreal Engine’s advanced real-time 3D capabilities, create an unbeatable duo for 3D artists, Maxon notes in its press release. “We are gratified the Epic MegaGrants team sees value in amplifying our efforts.” “We’re excited to strengthen the integration between Unreal Engine and Cinema 4D,” states David McGavran, CEO, Maxon. A USD 200,000 MegaGrant by Epic Games has been awarded to Maxon.
