MAXON closed out 2009 announcing a strategic partnership with Py4D, bringing the Python interface even closer into Cinema4D.  Now, they’ve taken the partnership “all the way” and outright acquired Py4D.

Harald Schneider, CTO and co-founder of MAXON states: “With the Python connection for our products we want to offer an easy and flexible option of adding custom functionality for both users and developers alike. Python is the easiest and most flexible solution.”

Current Py4D developer Sebastian Rath will continue to manage the library, but until the integration is fully complete the most beta version and documentation will continue to be available free of charte at www.py4d.com .
