Anwar Meah asked:

Hi, Would I be able to extract a CAD designed file into Cinema 4D to animate and add different types of texture to it? Thanks Anwar Meah

Answer:

Hi Anwar, Yes - Cinema 4D allows you to import CAD files, so you can light the model, texture it, animate it and then render it directly from Cinema 4D. It's quite a common practice actually. Many designers start creating models in a CAD application (like AutoCAD or SolidWorks), then bring these models into Cinema 4D for rendering. Hope this answers your question, but please feel free to get in touch again, if you need further help or clarification.
