I Tried the NEW Cinema 4D 2025.1 Updates and WOW...

Here are my favorite 3 (or 4) additions to Cinema 4D with their new 2025.1 Release which just dropped. These are absolutely "quality-of-life" updates which are very useful. Maybe not the most shiny and exciting updates, but incredibly handy day to day!

We'll go over:
1. New Boolean Object. The update allows you to stack anything inside the boolean, including Cloners, in a very intuitive and fast way. It also adds the new Boolean Tag under the Modeling Tags. This allows you to add a tag to anything inside of the Boolean and change the operation of that object by overriding the main Boolean settings. Very handy! Overall, it is a fantastic update.
2. Custom Templates. Now you can create a custom scene and add it to your home screen so when you start up Cinema 4D you can quickly open a custom template. This is perfect for creating scenes for various project types to give you a jump start. Something like a perfect 3-point lighting setup with cyc and textures and HDRI which you keep coming back to would be perfect to add as a custom template.
3. A new Denoising engine called OIDN. It's Intel's latest Open Image De Noiser which is GPU accelerated and AI based. It allows you to navigate your scene and get a very quick response. A huge quality-of-life boost for texturing and lighting since it resolved so dang quickly!
4. And finally, the "Custom Frames" option in the render settings. This is a perfect way to render select frames in your sequence, or even render only missing frames. It's not too flashy, but it's SO HELPFUL!

This video will show you the details of my top 4 favorite features in Cinema 4D 2025.1. I hope it's helpful!

CUSTOM RENDER FRAME RANGES FINALLY! I use to use this feature in 3DS Max 20 years ago and was always baffled why C4D did not have it too.

Thank you for this overview! Very helpful ❤

OIDN has been there for a long time already. It's not new. Yay for custom frame ranges. It's about time.

[Mr.Indiyaah]

Can you please let me know which is better for motion graphics... Houdini, unreal or C4D? m just starting

[OlgaTsybulina]

I see only Legacy boolean in the list... where do I find updated boolean?

[jochen]

I like Cinema 4d but I don`t like Redshift. The network rendering is not stable.

New boolean SUCKS because of materials and redshift

Denoiser also is fucked up completely. Garbage. Altus was king
