Bring your .3dm files straight into Cinema 4D.
Clean geometry. Familiar structure. Less rebuilding.
Free demo: up to 25 objects per file. No license key needed.
01 / LESS FRICTION. MORE CREATING.
Move from precision modeling to rendering and animation without an OBJ or FBX detour.
01The built-in tessellator turns surfaces and solids into quad-dominant meshes aligned to their isocurves. Even when your file has no saved render mesh.
Shared-edge sampling helps keep adjacent faces watertight. Size-relative presets adapt detail to each object.
02Bring hierarchical layers, colors and blocks into Cinema 4D. Blocks become real instances, with support for linked external .3dm files.
03Import Rhino PBR and legacy materials with bitmap textures. Choose standard Cinema 4D materials or Redshift Standard node materials.
04Curves become editable splines. SubD cages sit under a Subdivision Surface generator. Bring saved views, lights and object pivots with you.
KEEP THE INTENT BEHIND THE MODEL
From a single jewelry piece to a layered product assembly, keep the useful building blocks of your Rhino file.

Get RhinoToC4D from Gumroad and follow the included installation instructions for Cinema 4D on Windows.
Load your Rhino file directly in Cinema 4D. Choose tessellation quality and exactly which scene elements to import.
Work with the imported geometry, fine-tune your materials and lighting, then render or animate in Cinema 4D.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Check your setup, then try your own .3dm file.
RhinoToC4D runs on Windows with Cinema 4D 2025 and newer (current builds: 2025.1+ and 2026.3+, each within its major version), and reads .3dm files from Rhino 5 through Rhino 8. A macOS build is on the roadmap; it is not currently available.
The plugin runs without a license key and imports up to 25 objects per file. Download it from the free demo page on Gumroad.
The built-in NURBS tessellator can generate meshes from surfaces and solids, including files saved with Rhino’s Save Small option. Choose Draft, Medium, High or Custom quality.
You can import standard Cinema 4D materials or choose Redshift Standard node materials. The Redshift option requires Redshift installed and falls back to standard materials otherwise. For other renderers, adjust or convert imported materials using your usual workflow.
Geometry, layers and supported scene elements are transferred, but this is not a pixel-identical render conversion. Some material settings need adjustment. UV texture rotation is not transferred, clipping planes are not imported, and annotation and hatch handling is simplified. Test representative files with the demo before buying.
A license key includes 3 activations. Release a seat in the plugin’s license panel to move it to another machine. Activation requires an internet connection; background license checks use a 30-day offline grace period.
Email support@rhinotoc4d.com or reply to your Gumroad purchase receipt and include your Cinema 4D version and a description of the issue. The product page currently offers a 7-day money-back guarantee. Consult the terms shown at purchase; mandatory consumer rights are unaffected.
