Add AI to your 3D workflow without the markup
AiStudio gives members access to all the top AI models for a fraction of the cost — at provider rates, with no second AI subscription.
Everything your 3D pipeline needs — without the SaaS tax
A Windows desktop studio for Cinema 4D artists: image, video, audio, and 3D AI in one place. Cloud via fal.ai at cost, or free local models on your GPU.
No extra AI subscriptions
Pay only for what you use. Cloud generations bill fal.ai at cost — no second platform membership stacked on top.
Prepaid top-ups that don’t expire
Load fal credits when you want. Unused prepaid balance stays put, so you won’t blow past your budget on a surprise bill.
Unlimited free local models*
Run free local models on your NVIDIA GPU with unlimited generations — no fal credits required once models are downloaded.
Models at cost — no markup
CG Shortcuts doesn’t add a markup on generations. You pay provider rates for cloud models, not a SaaS premium.
Better security & privacy
AiStudio is a desktop app. Your files, references, and API keys stay on your computer — never parked in a public web gallery.
New models & workflows regularly
Fresh models and Cinema 4D–friendly workflow templates land as they ship — Seedance, Kling, Nano Banana, GPT Image, and more.
*Local models need a modern NVIDIA GPU (8GB VRAM minimum, 16GB+ recommended).
Gallery
Your generations, all in one place.
Browse every image, video, audio clip, and 3D asset you create — plus a Reference Library for drag-and-drop source files. Sort, filter, star favourites, and open anything on disk without hunting through folders.
- All / Generations / Reference Library views
- Sort & filter by type and model
- Star favourites and open files on disk
- Drag-and-drop references into your library
Image
Concepts, textures, and decals for C4D.
Generate stills that drop straight into your Cinema 4D pipeline — from concept art and seamless textures to clean stickers and decals. Edit, extend, upscale, or knock out backgrounds without leaving the desktop app.
- Text to Image & Image to Image
- Image Edit or Extend
- Image Upscale
- Background Removal
- Stickers & Decals
Video
Turn stills and C4D renders into motion.
Animate renders and concepts with the latest video models — Seedance, Kling, Veo, and more. Drive AI from your Cinema 4D depth and outline passes, build multi-shot storyboards, or transfer motion from a reference clip.
- Text to Video & Image to Video
- Motion Control
- Multi Shot storyboards
- C4D to AI (depth, outline, Seedance)
- Video Upscale & Video Extend
Audio
Sound effects, music, and narration.
Generate SFX and scores from a prompt, sync Foley or music to your rendered clips, and produce spoken narration — free local models or cloud quality tiers. Layer tracks in Mix and export mixed video, audio, or stems.
- Sound Effect Generator
- Music Generator
- Video to Audio
- Voice / Narration
3D
Assets and textures from text or images.
Spin up textured meshes from a prompt or reference stills, then retexture existing geometry with PBR-friendly guidance — useful for props, concepts, and quick look-dev without a full modeling pass.
- Text to 3D
- Image to 3D
- Texture Generation
At cost. No markup. No second subscription.
