A technical-beta path tracer that runs as a native Cinema 4D render engine, with progressive rendering, denoising, and a live viewer.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-24 issue.

For: Cinema 4D artists with NVIDIA RTX GPUs
Worth noticing: The page reports a 10-frame 1080p run and a 200-frame queue soak without a crash.

Field notes

The page documents an RTX-based workflow, including a live viewer that streams edits to materials, lighting, environment, and object scale. Its test notes include a reported 10-frame 1080p run and a 200-frame queue soak; the material bridge is less complete, with four of ten test materials marked ready and two falling back. Caustics and Pyro volumes remain labeled prototypes.
