Thea for Cinema 4D is the perfect companion for Cinema 4D users who want the highest quality photorealistic rendering inside their modeling application. The plugin offers a list of advanced tools while being actively developed to meet the most demanding visualization requirements.
Content Browser with Online Repository:

Animation:
-Thea Render can handle the animation rendering inside Cinema 4D and render all the frames out of the box. Furthermore, by supporting Team Render, one can distribute these frames over the network for ultra-fast animation sequence rendering.
