Blender Live Sync for Cinema 4D

Real-time bidirectional sync between Cinema 4D and Blender. Model in C4D, see results live in Blender.
Near-zero-latency synchronization between Cinema 4D and Blender. Model, deform, sculpt, rig, and animate in C4D - watch the results update in Blender instantly. No more export/import cycles.
Live-synced data types
Model data - vertices, topology, UVs, normals
MoGraph - Cloners, Matrices
Deformers - all deformable devices
Bones / Rigging - skeletal deformation
Generators - C4D generators in real time
Sculpting - carving brush updates
Overview

Iterate without exporting

Blender Live Sync for Cinema 4D streams scene data from C4D to Blender in near-real-time. Tweak a sculpt, adjust a deformer, retopologize a generator - the result appears in Blender's viewport instantly, ready for shading, rendering, or animation.
Built for hybrid pipelines where C4D handles modeling/rigging/animation and Blender handles lookdev/lighting/render.
