HB ModelingBundle earns its spot in the toolfarm library as a modeling-focused script collection built by a working 3D generalist over ten years, with future updates promised free to customers.
HB ModelingBundle is a set of over 70 scripts for Cinema 4D built around 3D modeling. The stated goal is faster workflows with fewer clicks and less mouse movement, turning many operations that once took ten clicks into a single one. Alongside the scripts, the bundle ships with a chosen set of shortcuts, a modeling layout, and a template scene that shows tool settings in the viewport for easier work in fullscreen mode.
The collection covers a wide range of tasks: 8 snapping scripts, 4 brush size and strength scripts, and 7 clone scripts, plus individual tools like HB_Delete with six delete modes, HB_Divider for parametric subdivisions, and HB_CenterCut for loopcuts in the center of edges. It is the work of a professional 3D generalist over ten years of using Cinema 4D. New scripts added in future versions are free to existing customers, and support is offered by email.
HB ModelingBundle runs on Cinema 4D R19 up to R25 on Mac and PC. A handful of scripts (HB_EvenDistribution, HB_Lineup, HB_RoundEdge and HB_SnapToSpline) require MoGraph to run. Version 2.4 is the current release.
HB ModelingBundle is best for cinema 4D artists who do a lot of 3D modeling and want to cut repetitive operations down to fewer clicks using scripts, shortcuts, and a dedicated modeling layout.
HB ModelingBundle is completely free to download and use.
HB ModelingBundle supports Cinema 4D R19 up to R25 on both Mac and PC. Version 2.4 added S24 and R25 compatibility fixes plus R25 Asset Browser integration, since the Content Browser is obsolete in R25. Note that a few scripts also require MoGraph to run. If you run a C4D release outside the R19 to R25 range, check the developer's page for the latest compatibility details before installing.
HB ModelingBundle includes a few scripts that require MoGraph to run: HB_EvenDistribution, HB_Lineup, HB_RoundEdge, and HB_SnapToSpline. The rest of the bundle's 70-plus scripts work without it. If your Cinema 4D license does not include MoGraph, those four tools will not be available, but the remaining modeling scripts, shortcuts, modeling layout, and template scene still function normally. This requirement applies across Cinema 4D R19 up to R25 on Mac and PC.
HB ModelingBundle is listed as free here. For current licensing terms and any download conditions, check the developer's page, since pricing and availability can change. Once you have the bundle, new scripts added in future versions are provided free to existing customers, and support is available through the developer's support email. The package covers over 70 modeling scripts along with a set of shortcuts, a modeling layout, and a template scene for Cinema 4D.
HB ModelingBundle 2.4 brought S24 and R25 compatibility fixes and added R25 Asset Browser integration, as the Content Browser is obsolete in R25. HB_OverwriteMaterial gained Asset Browser support, a new shortcut deletes without children (shift + BS), and HB_PipeIt's Caps option works again via the Shift modifier. The older ColorSchemes feature was removed as obsolete. This release is dated December 28, 2022.
