Are there TV shows out there that use Cinema 4D?
If so, which ones?

Hi Jamestown,

There are certainly a lot of shows, mostly for titles, openers or set-extensions. I doubt that there is a complete list. Lovely question. Thank you.
I know of a very successful studio here in L.A. which develops a lot of un-scripted TV series, and thy use it to develop the “pilots” with it. Lots of uses, in other words. Often to build a “package” for the initial pitch even. My main interest is here of course set extension and with that camera projection and such, as it keeps the production budget friendly. But with Cinema 4D as part of After Effects, the borders where one app starts and another ends are more blurry than ever.

You might have a look here. Perhaps add some Google-search to the mix, perhaps start with terms like “Motion Graphics”. There are certainly a lot of studios who have Cinema 4D in their main pipeline. Of course, I can’t post here anything that you wouldn’t find with google.

Besides that, the Maxon Demo-Reel is certainly a good resource.

A reason why I asked a while ago to fill in the data here:

Which was obviously not successful.

How many TV shows are on this planet? I really don’t know, and that makes it so hard to answer such a general question. ... and yes, MAXON provides Cinema 4D worldwide.
I certainly checked imbd as well. But I think even the two books that Duncan Evans has edited are more helpful to see some of them, than standard lists.

These studios do great work, and that is certainly based on their ideas and skills, of course I would say as well that they use good tools ;o) How much they provide the used tools in their own advertisement is not clear to me. There I see another problem to create such a list.

My best wishes

For me, one of the coolest shows that uses Cinema 4d is NBC’s “Grimm”. Although Hive FX does the creature faces using zBrush, Cinema 4D is used for hair, surfacing, lighting and rendering. Here is a renderosity article about it:  http://www.renderosity.com/news.php?viewStory=16649

Hi vrauckis,

Good one to mention. Yes, I really loved the show, the VFX and the characters. Wonderful mix. (Speaking German, it was sometimes not that mystical, to hear German words, hehe, but that is a tiny little minor point, just said to prove that I watched it.)

I’m happy when this thread fills with suggestions! :o)

Personally I would love to give a complete list or no list from my side. I hope that makes sense, so I do not feature one over the other.

But—please keep the examples coming! The more the better! I’m certain that I do not know all, of course not.

Thank you.
Have a great evening
