# Cinema 4D beta comes to iPad

By Steven Van · 2026-04-17

Maxon's NAB 2026 beta, recommended for M3-or-later iPads, is due late 2026 alongside Windows on Arm support for Cinema 4D and ZBrush.

**Cinema 4D** is coming to iPad. Maxon unveiled a beta of Cinema 4D for iPad at NAB 2026, bringing core 3D modelling and design tools to a touch-first interface for the first time. It's built to complement the desktop app rather than replace it, recommended for iPads with an M3 chip or later, and is due **late 2026**.

Maxon is also expanding Cinema 4D to Windows on Arm devices, including Dell's tablet lineup and the Snapdragon X Elite-powered Microsoft Surface Pro, alongside ZBrush and Red Giant's Premiere Pro and After Effects tools. Redshift also now supports Windows on Arm with CPU rendering.
