Maxon has announced further mobile expansion for its ZBrush and Cinema 4D CAD and visualisation softwares.
Maxon has debuted the mobile version of Cinema 4D on Apple iPad and the expansion of tools to Windows on Arm (WoA) tablet devices, a move it says is lowering the barrier to entry while empowering designer to work where they want, how they want.
The beta of the mobile Cinema 4D for iPad has been optimised for touch workflows, with core 3D modelling and design capabilities in a streamlined, mobile-first interface. The iPad version – recommended for hardware with an Apple M3 chip or later – complements the desktop experience, allowing artists to explore ideas and work on projects on the go, the moment creativity strikes.
Cinema 4D for iPad will be available later this year, joining Zbrush on the Apple platform.
Maxon has also announced it is bringing its complete ecosystem to next-generation Windows on Arm-powered hardware – including Dell’s tablet lineup, Microsoft Surface Pro (Snapdragon X Elite), and other compatible tablets and desktop systems. The move should make its 3D, motion graphics and digital sculpting tools more open and adaptable to modern workflows.
ZBrush (desktop), Cinema 4D, and Red Giant tools within Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects are all now available on Windows on Arm-powered devices. Redshift is also supported on Windows on Arm with CPU rendering capabilities.
“Accessibility, interoperability, and user empowerment are increasingly central to creative innovation,” said Maxon CEO Dave McGavran.
“With these initiatives, we’re expanding access to professional tools so more artists can experiment, build, and grow within a connected creative ecosystem, using the same professional tools trusted across film, broadcast, and design.”
