Xfrog for CINEMA 4D is a Plugin Application for CINEMA
4D (Macintosh and Windows), useful for organic modeling and animation.
Xfrog 3.5 is a popular standalone application, and widely available,
and Xfrog for CINEMA 4D is a new effort, to tightly integrate with
3D Applications, and is currently available for CINEMA 4D users. Please
have a look at the associated press
release, or contact
us with any questions about other application support.
Xfrog for CINEMA 4D, requires CINEMA 4D R8.1 or higher. It is
currently verified to work with versions up to CINEMA 4D R 8.5.
Xfrog for CINEMA 4D Software and Reference manual are available
in English, German, Japanese, and French. (any of these languages can
be selected to appear in the Xfrog for CINEMA 4D interface)

Xfrog 4 adds a number of procedural Objects to CINEMA 4D.
By combining these Objects with each other and with any other Object within
CINEMA 4D you can quickly build a wide variety of organic Objects.
 |
The Branch Object is for easily setting up elaborate multi-level branching structures with numerous parameters to give them a natural look. |
 |
The Phyllotaxis Object arranges other Objects on an abitrary surface of revolution, according to the rules of nature (golden section). It is, for example, used in the sunflower example above to arrange petals and seeds. |
 |
The Hydra Object arranges Objects in a circular pattern. |
 |
The Curvature Object creates Splines which can be used as a basis for naturally curved leafs or twigs. |
 |
The Variation Object allows you to use multiply different Objects with Branch, Phyllotaxis and Hydra. |
 |
The Tropism Object lets your spline-based objects (like the Branch, but also the CINEMA 4D SweepNURBS) bend towards an abitrary direction or position. |
Using this seemingly small set of new primitives together with CINEMA
4Ds built in functionality will enable you to set up complex organic objects
beyond reach for any regular modeling software.
All the objects can be animated by varying their parameters, such as number of branches, strength of attraction, gravity, phototropism. With such techniques, a convincing flower can be built and animated very easily, or a tree can be modeled and grown. All of CINEMA 4Ds animation curve editing features can be used, as well as XPresso.
