Renderer User Guide

Renderer is a Cinema 4D helper library for working with materials, nodes, AOVs, and scene objects across popular renderers.

Feature Groups

  • Redshift: Redshift materials, AOVs, and scene operations.
  • Arnold: Arnold materials, AOVs, and scene operations.
  • Vray: V-Ray materials and AOV operations.
  • CentiLeo: CentiLeo materials and AOV operations.
  • Octane: Octane materials, AOVs, scenes, and node arrangement.
  • Corona: Corona materials, AOVs, scenes, and node arrangement.
  • utils: Node, material, texture, PBR, and node arrangement helpers.
  • constants: Renderer node and port constants.

Common Parameters

Parameters vary by renderer and operation, but commonly include:

  • Material object: the Cinema 4D material to read or modify.
  • Node object: the node to connect, move, or inspect.
  • Port name or ID: the input or output port on a node.
  • File path: the texture, PBR map, or scene resource location.
  • Node space ID: the renderer node space when required.
  • Arrangement mode: arrange, align, or distribute nodes.

Make sure the relevant renderer is installed before using its helpers, and pass the objects and resources required by each function.

Interaction Notes

Renderer does not provide a separate window or panel. Node arrangement functions directly change node positions in the Cinema 4D material editor. Arrange, align, and distribute behavior is selected by the function being called; context menus, dragging, and node selection remain handled by Cinema 4D.

Release Archive

Run scripts/build_renderer_release.py to create Renderer.zip in the parent dist folder. Use the Renderer folder contained in the archive after extraction.
