From Cinema 4D to Topview
The Topview Cinema 4D plugin exports clay-render videos from Cinema 4D to Topview, where Seedance 2.5 turns them into cinematic videos. Keep your scene editable in Cinema 4D and refine it whenever you need another take.
Why use the Topview Cinema 4D plugin
Export directly to Topview, create with an AI agent, and return to Cinema 4D whenever you want to refine the shot.

Export a clay-render video from your Cinema 4D scene and send it directly to Topview with the plugin. Bring your scene layout and camera motion into your video workflow without a separate manual upload.

Topview’s AI agent takes your clay video through to a finished video with Seedance 2.5. Describe the look you want and complete the creative process in one place.

Need a different camera move or scene layout? Adjust objects, camera paths or keyframes in Cinema 4D, then export a new clay video to Topview for another version.
GPT-6 + Cinema 4D + Topview
Use GPT-6 Astra to help plan a Cinema 4D scene, then review its objects and keyframed animation in Cinema 4D. Once the camera move works, the Topview Cinema 4D plugin carries your rendered reference into the video workflow.
GPT-6 Astra can help you describe objects, layout and camera motion before you build the shot in Cinema 4D. Scene assistance is an optional starting point; GPT-6 is not built into the Topview plugin.
See OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra introductionAn example scene brief
Help me build a simple alley scene in Cinema 4D with editable buildings, a parked car and a camera that slowly moves forward before revealing the car. Keep the objects separate and put the camera motion on keyframes so I can revise the shot.
Ask GPT-6 to help plan the objects, layout and camera animation for a specific shot.
Check the scene in Cinema 4D. Refine geometry, object placement and keyframes before rendering.
Export through the Topview plugin and import the reference into your Topview project.
Use Seedance 2.5 in Topview to explore a cinematic treatment based on that reference.
You can also build the scene yourself. The plugin imports the rendered video, regardless of how the Cinema 4D scene was created.
Start with a shot you can revise, then explore the cinematic treatment it deserves.
