Maxon One's latest July release enriches several products in the suite of industry-leading tools for creating motion graphics, visual effects, and product imagery.
While Cinema 4D 2024.5 isn't a huge update, it delivers some workflow improvements to a few tools introduced back in Maxon One's April major release. Cinema 4D's new Unified Particles system now has improved integration with the MoGraph toolset, so emitters and forces can be duplicated easily via the Cloner.

Users now gain more control over particle attraction along object surfaces, particle collision behavior, and particle color emitted from other particles. Improved Alembic import ensures seamless integration of particles into production pipelines.
Scene Nodes continue to evolve, providing more options for procedural geometry creation. The Split and Disconnect nodes streamline effects application to different mesh parts, while the Points Modifier node simplifies custom deformer creation and data remapping. Additionally, the Outline Spline Node enables procedural spline outlines for generating stacked and nested shapes from a single input.

Redshift 3.6.04's update adds a new Distance shader which allows for dynamic shading effects when objects are near each other. Also, native cameras are now supported in Cinema 4D’s Crane, Morph, and Motion Cameras, enabling artists to effortlessly create dynamic and realistic camera movements, including adjustments to depth-of-field and other Redshift camera effects
Maxon continues to partner closely with Adobe, and Substance 3D materials within Redshift for Cinema 4D now include improved options for adjusting the size, rotation, and colorspace of materials.
Finally, Red Giant's Maxon Studio After Effects template engine launched in June, received an update enhancing its usability with the option to more easily select brand colors using Hex Color codes. You can check out the thread above for additional details.
