Maxon offers an AI-powered search feature in Cinema 4D's Asset Browser, introduced in version 2025.3, that lets users find assets by meaning rather than exact keywords. The feature runs entirely on the user's local machine and can be disabled in preferences.

The AI-assisted search uses a model trained on a dataset called WebLI — a large collection of image-text pairs from public web content — to understand conceptual relationships between text and images. It also supports image similarity search, where users can provide a reference image and find visually or conceptually similar assets. All processing happens locally on the user's device, using NVIDIA or AMD GPUs on Windows or the Apple Neural Engine on M-series Macs; no data is shared externally and the model does not train on user inputs.
