# Cineware for Unity

## What can it do?

- With Cineware, native Cinema 4D scenes can be imported directly as assets within Unity.
- [Preferences](https://help.maxon.net/cw/en-us/Content/html/DDOC-DOCUMENT_GROUP_CINEWARE.html.md) in Cinema 4D can be used to define which elements of a 3D object are to be transferred to Unity.
- A Cineware export from Cinema 4D enables the automatic conversion of generators and other special Cinema 4D objects into simple polygon objects, which can then be used directly in Unity.
- By using a [Metalness workflow](https://help.maxon.net/cw/en-us/Content/html/METALNESS_MATERIAL.html.md) for the material definition in Cinema 4D, a large part of the material definitions can be transferred directly to Unity.
- Cineware options also offer automatic UV processing and creation of lightmap textures directly in Unity.
