The C4D Tower Tool earns its place in the toolfarm library for turning a set of presets, panels and spline profiles into 200,000 possible building combinations, all reachable in a couple of clicks.
The Pixel Lab C4D Tower Tool is a kitbash system for creating unique building models in Cinema 4D. It ships with 200,000 possible random buildings and completely replaces the older Building Kit with a new, faster and more efficient rig.
You can work at different levels of control through Panel Random, Spline Random or Full Manual Control. The 200,000 possible unique buildings come from 96 preset buildings, 400 different panels and 129 different spline profiles, and the tool supports rapid prototyping so you can quickly test out different designs.
Beyond the buildings themselves, the kit includes over 50 bonus models for adding detail and 30 tileable 4K materials, with hundreds of spline profiles available for customizing a building. The C4D Tower Tool is also included in the Pixel Lab Mega Pack, and it runs in Cinema 4D versions R16 to R23.
Pixel Lab C4D Tower Tool is best for cinema 4D artists who need to generate large numbers of unique building models quickly, from rapid prototyping to kitbash work using the included bonus models and 4K materials.
Pixel Lab C4D Tower Tool is completely free to download and use.
Pixel Lab C4D Tower Tool is compatible with Cinema 4D versions R16 through R23, which are also its stated requirements. If you're running a release in that range, R23 included, the tool is supported. Versions newer than R23 aren't listed among the supported releases, so check the developer's page before installing on a later build of Cinema 4D. A demo video is also available if you'd like to see more before setting it up.
Pixel Lab C4D Tower Tool is listed as free here in the catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so for the current details and to download, head to the developer's page. Note that the tool is also included in the Pixel Lab Mega Pack, so you may already have access to it if you own that bundle. A demo video is available as well if you want to see what it does before setting anything up.
Pixel Lab C4D Tower Tool completely replaces the older Building Kit. It's a new product built on a new rig that the developer describes as faster and more efficient than the previous system. If you used the earlier Building Kit, the Tower Tool is the current version, and it ships with 200,000 possible random buildings out of the gate, along with preset buildings, panels and spline profiles to customize from.
Pixel Lab C4D Tower Tool is included in the Pixel Lab Mega Pack, so owners of that bundle already have it. On its own, the tool includes 96 pre-made buildings, over 50 bonus models and 30 tileable 4K materials, plus panel and spline options for customizing each building. Check the developer's page to see how it's offered individually versus as part of the Mega Pack.
