This profile's own key art, drawn by the same code that builds the files you install — and a starting point, not a fixed layout. Once it is imported, every key, folder and page is yours to move, rename, re-icon or delete in the Elgato Stream Deck app. What this page cannot be is the rest of the box: one theme of the ones it ships, two Stream Deck models of six, one platform's key combinations, and no dials.
Version history
Every published revision of this profile, newest first — what changed and why, in the maker's own words.
V1 Aug 10, 2026 Latest version
v1.0 — 2026-08-04 First release. 75 keys across 12 folders for Cinema 4D 2026. The headline is the chord folders. Cinema 4D's shortcut system is built on two-key sequences — press M then S for Bevel, U then L for Loop Selection — and 29 of them sit here on single keys, grouped into four folders by family: Modeling (M and K), Selection (U), Mesh Ops (U) and Display (N). The other eight folders cover tools, modes and snapping, views, animation, render, the managers, and file operations, plus three documentation links. Every binding was checked against Maxon's own shortcut reference rather than a cheatsheet, and every one of the 75 keys carries its own icon — including hand-drawn glyphs for the modelling operations no icon set covers. Smart Profile switches to Cinema 4D automatically when the app takes focus. Stream Deck + dials are planned for v2. Requires Cinema 4D's default shortcut scheme. If you have remapped M, U, N or K, the four chord folders will not match.

Can I rearrange the Cinema 4D profile after installing it?
Yes — completely. It installs as 12 folders holding 75 shortcuts, and every one of them is yours from that moment: in the official Elgato Stream Deck app you can drag a key to another slot, rename it, change its icon, move it between folders, add your own actions or delete what you don't use. The layout is a starting point, not a lock.
Which operating systems does the Cinema 4D profile support?
macOS and Windows. Each shortcut ships with its platform-specific key combination, so one profile covers both.
