New Plugin: Ceiling Builder for Cinema 4D!

We are thrilled to announce the official release of Ceiling Builder, the new parametric generator for Cinema 4D designed to revolutionize how you model false ceilings, modular grids, timber slats, and integrated architectural lighting.

Anyone working in architectural visualization or 3D interior design knows how time-consuming it can be to manually build drywall drops, indirect LED coves, modular ceiling tiles, or wooden slats, not to mention cutting holes for spotlights and AC vents.

Ceiling Builder tackles all these challenges with a 100% parametric, non-destructive workflow: your base structural slab serves purely as a placement reference and is never duplicated, cut, or altered.

Key Features:

Gypsum Drops & Soffits: Instantly build island drops (Full Drop), inward perimeter rings (Perimeter Band), and linear soffits (Linear Soffit) driven by user splines.

Indirect Lighting Coves: Automatically generate perimeter light pockets, hiding lips, and procedural LED light strips.

Modular Systems & Timber Slats: Native support for exposed grid tiles, concealed systems, open-cell panels, wooden slats, and planks.

Smart Lighting & Fixture Cutouts: Automatically cut and seat spotlights, air diffusers, sprinklers, and cameras on the lowest visible ceiling level.

One-Click Panel Replacement: Swap standard tiles or slats with 600×600 mm luminaires or custom replacement light fixtures in a single click.

Recessed Linear LED Channels: Create continuous recessed LED strip assemblies complete with dark housings and opal screens along any spline.

Role-Based Materials & Procedural UVs: Smart material routing with deterministic usage randomization and automatic wood grain rotation.

Powered by Cinema 4D render instancing and an advanced geometry caching system, your viewport stays fluid and lightweight even on massive architectural floor plans.

The plugin also features an intuitive visual preset browser to save, manage, and instantly reload your custom ceiling layouts and light fixture setups.

Il plugin include un pratico preset browser grafico per salvare e riutilizzare al volo configurazioni di soffitti e corpi illuminanti.
