AI tools for Cinema 4D

Hey folks! đź‘‹

Has anyone actually used any of those AI tools for Cinema 4D, like… for real?

I found a couple on Gumroad —
👉 Airen 4D
👉 AI Power – AI Plugin for Cinema 4D!

They look pretty cool in the promo vids, but you never know how they hold up in a real production workflow. So I wanted to ask:

  • Did they actually help speed things up?
  • Was the output good enough for professional/client work?
  • Any annoying bugs, weird limitations, or stuff that just didn’t work?
  • Overall, do you think they’re worth paying for?

Also — more techie stuff I’m wondering:

  • Can they render proper EXRs with AOVs (diffuse, spec, etc)?
  • Do they support Z-depth, volume lighting, Cryptomatte, all that jazz?
  • Are they solid for use in a compositing pipeline (Nuke, AE, etc)?

Would love to hear any real-world experiences — especially from folks who’ve used these tools on actual projects with tight deadlines. And if you know other AI-based tools/plugins for C4D that are worth checking out, I’m all ears!

Thanks 🙏
