Faster workflow with Cinema 4D Creation plugins from Greyscalegorilla

In the previous article series, we introduced some lighting plugins and animation plugins to you, hoping you have a faster workflow in Cinema 4D. In this article, let’s take a look at some Cinema 4D creation plugins from Greyscalegorilla, to help you visualize various aspect ratios or create complex reflectance materials.

Let’s explore 3 Cinema 4D Creation plugins to visualize various aspect ratios or create complex reflectance materials easily.

This plugin allows you to align and distribute your objects in Cinema 4D with ease. You now don’t need to manually type in coordinates, just use this tool to align and distribute based on your object’s bounding boxes.

Some of Align’s prominent features:

• • • • Align objects just like in popular 2D image programs
      • Work in orthographic or perspective mode
      • Line things up via the pivot point or bounding box
      • Align will use the bounding box of your shape for easy alignment.
      • Distribute objects along any axis
      • Distribute objects using your pivot point
      • Use world or local space for your distribution

This plugin helps you visualize better all the aspects ratios for a single render in Cinema 4D viewport. If your clients want to have different cropping for their social posts, and you don’t want or don’t have time to render each one of them seperately, this tool is the one for you.

Some of Social Frame’s prominent features:

• • • • Drag-and-drop tag workflow
      • Visualize multiple modern social media crops, from Instagram, Dribbles, X to Facebook, etc.
      • Masking to show crops clearly: use masks to get a better sense of how various crops will look on your main image
      • Automatically adjusts FOV and you will not lose your perfect framing when you change aspect ratio.
      • Output to takes: render multiple cropped images out of C4D directly.
      • Square mode
