Cinema 4D became Maxon Computer's flagship product. This was followed in May 1994 with an upgrade to Cinema 4D V1.5, with improvements in rendering quality. In 1991, after two years of development, the first version of Cinema 4D was launched in December 1993. The first issue of ST-Computer was released in January 1986. They had purchased their first computer, an Atari ST, and agreed to write a book about the basic programming language that ran on the ATARI ST, the GFA-BASIC Buch. Maxon was founded in 1985 by three college students, Harald Egel, Uwe Bärtels and Harald Schneider. The company’s cross-platform benchmarking application Cinebench is used by developers, reviewers and users to evaluate hardware performance.
