The classic Cinema 4D provides the base classes for modeling in Cinema 4D 。 MAXON API provides further, advanced modeling tools.

Classic API Modeling

Basic editable object classes are:

• PointObject : Base class for objects that contain points.
• SplineObject : Spline class based on SplineObject .
• PolygonObject : Polygon object class based on PointObject .

建模 operations can be performed:

• directly on the editable object.
• 使用 建模 class.
• 使用 SendModelingCommand() 函数。

Additional mesh data is stored in these tags:

• VertexColorTag Manual
• UVWTag Manual
• NormalTag Manual

Generic polygon mesh attributes are handled with:

• Mesh Attributes Interfaces
• CustomDataTag Manual

Polygon reduction can be performed with:

• PolygonReduction Manual
