Maxon has announced a strategic partnership with Tencent Cloud to integrate Tencent HY 3D Global AI engine into Cinema 4D. The collaboration, unveiled at Mobile World Congress 2026 in Barcelona, introduces an AI-assisted workflow within Cinema 4D that enables artists to generate base 3D and UV models from text prompts or image references, which can then be refined, sculpted, animated, and rendered using Maxon’s professional toolset.
At Maxon, we create superior tools that empower artists — and we’re always evolving them based on real-world use. Recently, our product manager and lead developer spent a week at Munich’s renowned Fuchs & Vogel studio, gaining insights from their exceptional work in animation, visualization, and VR to better serve the creative community.

When the monsters in Seth’s Sketch leapt from kids’ drawings to full-blown 3D mayhem, our team proved that ‘crude’ wasn’t in our vocabulary. Using Cinema 4D, Redshift, and Trapcode Particular, we turned rough sketches into a high-end spectacle—and won everyone over in the process.
Maxon is thrilled to congratulate David Sujono on winning second place in Clinton Jones aka PWNISHER’s latest 3D community creative challenge: Chasm’s Call. This global event continues to push the boundaries of digital art, inspiring artists around the world to showcase their creativity and technical skills.
Maxon is enhancing our cinematic rendering technology for architectural visualization (ArchViz). Building on the success of Cinema 4D and Redshift, the company now offers tailored solutions for architects and designers. The platform integrates smoothly with CAD and BIM tools like Vectorworks, enabling users to move from real-time previews to high-quality final renders within a unified workflow.

Two years ago, I stumbled upon Maxon’s products and was immediately drawn to their capabilities, particularly Cinema 4D, and I wanted to work at Maxon. Fast forward two years and here I am working for Maxon Computer KK in Japan as a Senior sales Account manager for the Asia-Pacific region. It's a double dream come true, really, because my husband and I have had long-standing plans to relocate to Japan. Creativity has always been my passion, and with a background in sales and marketing, I am able to work directly with the creative team at Maxon, which is a bonus. Before joining Maxon, I worked for HP where I gained significant experience in a variety of business and channel management roles across Asia Pacific and Japan. The decision to move to Japan was daunting initially. I wrestled with the idea of leaving my family in Singapore but was excited about the fresh start in Japan. I'm grateful to Maxon for having patience as I deliberated over this life-changing decision. Now, I’m thrilled to be in Tokyo surrounded by an incredible team at Maxon KK. The supportive culture, fostered by exceptional leadership, is truly inspiring and every moment in Japan is precious to me. I’m learning about my colleagues, Japanese culture and language, and I’m discovering beautiful flowers amidst the weeds — there’s more than just Sakura (cherry blossoms).
