Maxon has announced an update to its Maxon One platform, providing a unified creative ecosystem designed to streamline workflows and enable new possibilities across VFX, 3D modelling, sculpting, rendering and more.
Aiming to meet the creative needs of a broad spectrum of disciplines, Maxon One enables the integration of Cinema 4D, ZBrush, Redshift, Red Giant and Maxon Studio in a platform compatible with tools such as Blackmagic Design and Adobe Creative Cloud, providing transition across the creative process, from concept to final render.
Key features of the release include Cinema 4D’s capability for GPU-accelerated art-directable simulations, while Maxon Studio streamlines video and broadcast design with Red Giant effects and customisable templates. Redshift provides procedural clouds as well as enhanced realism and faster interactive displacement, and ZBrush enables sculpting on iPad with 3D printing support and pipeline integration.
David McGavron, Maxon CEO, commented, “Maxon One is the creative backbone for artists across industries and at all skill levels. This release builds on the features creators already love while introducing innovations that remove technical barriers and open new creative possibilities. Whether you’re in the classroom or at the helm of a major production, Maxon One helps you create without limits.”
Director Seth Worley added, “For my new film, SKETCH, we sculpted creatures in ZBrush, animated in Cinema 4D, rendered in Redshift, and polished with Red Giant, all without ever feeling like we were duct-taping workflows together. Every production throws curveballs, but knowing exactly how I could ‘fix it in post’ with Maxon tools eliminated many of the usual roadblocks that inevitably come up when you’re creating 11+ monsters made out of glitter, chalk and crayons. I think I can say definitively that, without Maxon One, we would still be finishing the movie.”
