Why we like it

MochaBlend earns its place in the toolfarm library as a bridge between mocha's 2D planar tracking and 3D work in Cinema 4D, built around a Single Plane Solver that handles both camera and object solves.

What is Good Spirit Graphics MochaBlend?

MochaBlend is a plug-in that runs inside Maxon Cinema 4D, giving artists a way to import mocha's 2D planar tracking data and roto-splines into a 3D solved workspace. It converts that 2D tracking into 3D motion inside Cinema 4D.

At its core is a Single Plane Solver that solves camera and objects across both perspective and non-perspective tracks. Roto-splines from mocha convert into animated geometry with depth, which can interact with physics and simulations. MochaBlend also imports mocha's camera-solve data with more options.

The package includes the MochaBlend Exporter, an After Effects plugin that moves animated paths, shapes and masks from After Effects into C4D. MochaBlend supports Cinema 4D versions R16 to R22 and works best with versions of mocha that have the MochaBlend exporters, such as mocha plus or mocha Pro 4.1.3 or above.

Who is Good Spirit Graphics MochaBlend best for?

Good Spirit Graphics MochaBlend is best for 3D artists in Cinema 4D who want to bring mocha's 2D planar tracking and roto data into a 3D solved workspace.

How much does Good Spirit Graphics MochaBlend cost?

Good Spirit Graphics MochaBlend is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does MochaBlend work with Cinema 4D R22?

MochaBlend supports Cinema 4D versions R16 to R22, so R22 falls within its supported range. It runs inside Maxon Cinema 4D as a plug-in and imports mocha's 2D planar tracking data and roto-splines into a 3D solved workspace. On the tracking side, it works best with versions of mocha that include the MochaBlend exporters. For the current supported version list, check the developer's page before installing.

Which versions of mocha does MochaBlend need?

MochaBlend works best with versions of mocha that have the MochaBlend exporters, specifically mocha plus or mocha Pro 4.1.3 or above. From there it imports mocha's camera-solve data and roto-splines into Cinema 4D. If you run an older mocha release, confirm it includes a compatible exporter on the developer's page before purchasing so your tracking and roto data can move into the MochaBlend workflow.

How many users does a MochaBlend license cover?

MochaBlend's license entitles you to install it with a single Cinema 4D serial number for up to three users. The plugin is listed as free in this catalog, so confirm the current licensing conditions with Good Spirit Graphics before relying on any specific terms. If your team runs more than one C4D serial or needs wider coverage, review the details on the developer's page before deploying it.

Can MochaBlend move masks from After Effects into Cinema 4D?

MochaBlend includes the MochaBlend Exporter, an After Effects plugin that moves animated paths, shapes and masks from After Effects into Cinema 4D. It ships with MochaBlend, so you do not buy it separately. This gives an AE-to-C4D route that complements MochaBlend's main job of importing mocha's 2D planar tracking data into a 3D solved workspace inside Cinema 4D. From there, MochaBlend converts mocha's roto-splines into animated geometry with depth that can interact with physics and simulations.
