Minimum System Requirements
Hardware Requirements
Ornatrix heavily relies on your system's CPU, GPU, and RAM to model, simulate, and render millions of high-fidelity hair strands. For optimal performance, we recommend using a modern CPU with a high core count and high clock frequencies, paired with at least 32 GB of RAM.
Windows
- Windows 10 or newer.
- Cinema 4D R25.010 or newer (up to and including Cinema 4D 2026).
- VC 2022 runtime
Mac
- Mac OS 13 Ventura or newer.
- Cinema 4D R25.010 or newer (up to and including Cinema 4D 2026).
Supported Cinema 4D builds
Ornatrix is not guaranteed to work on all builds of Cinema 4D. We recommend using the versions for which Ornatrix is specifically built. Officially, we support the latest revision of each major version.
Known Issues and Limitations
- Guide Width
The Guide/Strand Width parameter in Edit Guides is currently not supported. This limitation arises from the fixed line width of 1.0f in Windows DirectX starting with Cinema 4D R26. However, this feature functions correctly with OpenGL on macOS.
