Cinema 4D Compatibility Updates (March 19, 2025)

- What Arnold and Redshift Users Need to Know


To ensure better performance and future compatibility we are making some changes:

  • Moving forward, all NEW Arnold and Redshift materials will use C4D’s Node-Based Material system. Xpresso-based materials will no longer be supported for any NEW materials released in 2025 and beyond.
  • All NEW Arnold and Redshift materials will only work with Cinema 4D R24 and later versions.
  • Standard Surface Materials Only – This ensures consistent compatibility across renderers

  • Cinema 4D R24, R25, R26, 2023, 2024 and 2025
      • Arnold C4DtoA 4.6.4.2 and up
      • Redshift 3.6.04 and up

Notes:

  • For Octane users, there will be no compatibility issues as Octane has its own node system. Octane version 2023.1.3 or newer is required for any Cinema 4D version.
  • These updates apply to all NEW materials available in both HUB Plus Library and Studio.
  • Arnold and Redshift users already working with Cinema 4D R24, R25, R26, 2023, 2024, or 2025 do not need to take any action—you’re all set!
  • New Material Collections – Node-Based System Only:

    - Color Wash Pine Materials

    - Molded Plastic Materials

    - Packaging Materials

    - Rotary Mat Materials

    - White Oak Wood Materials
