XPresso - Making Connections

Build extensive relationships and add powerful interaction to your 3D scene with XPresso, MAXON CINEMA 4D's visual node-based expressions editor. An expression is a relationship between objects in your 3D scene that often includes some mathematical manipulation, such as using the rotation of one object to change the position of another. Normally, these types of relationships would require programming, but with XPresso they are a matter of drag & drop.

XPresso - the graphical expression editor

XPresso is a tool artists can use to intuitively create relationships between almost any object, material or effect parameter. Most module parameters are even accessible through XPresso, and Thinking Particles is almost completely controlled through the XPresso interface. Relationships can be saved to XGroups to use later on your own projects or share with other users. Variables within your XPressions can be linked to sliders in the attributes manager to create driven-key animation and complete slider-based interfaces to your 3D scene.

XPresso gives you complete control over the 3D scene, and dramatically improves workflow by providing a visual interface to scene properties. Explore XPresso and discover the power of relational animation in CINEMA 4D.
