Can I use Cinema 4D on my iPhone or iPad with Apperture?
Yes — by streaming Cinema 4D from your Mac with Apperture. The desktop app runs on your Mac; your iPhone or iPad displays its window and sends remote input back. You need a reachable, awake Mac with Cinema 4D installed, the free Apperture Mac host, and the Apperture app on your iPhone or iPad.
Cinema 4D and its renderer still run on your Mac. Remote access is useful for review and progress checks; detailed modeling and animation benefit from your usual input setup. Cinema 4D product information.
