While in CINEMA 4D textures can be applied to many kinds of settings (like luminance, transparency), Archicad use textures only for determining object colors, so even the bitmap textures are ignored during the conversion when applied to non color material properties. The only textures one can convert are the bitmaps loaded from image files (jpg/png/bmp). These cannot be converted, while these algorithms are not implemented in Archicad. CINEMA 4D also offers textures that are based on singular algorithms that are computed during rendering. Some of these parameters have according material settings with exactly the same functionality in Archicad, some others can be converted, but there are some that cannot be interpreted by the rendering engine of Archicad, these are simply ignored. There are a large number of parameters for setting the materials’ visual behavior when affected by direct or indirect light or like glowing, transparency, etc. CINEMA 4D offers much more material setting possibilities than Archicad does.During the import process only the material and geometry data is being converted.Limitations at importing CINEMA 4D models into Archicad by loading, merging c4d type files and by freeform modeling: This will start the uninstaller, which will remove all Cinema 4D components from your computer. You can also browse to your Archicad 23 folder and execute the uninstaller in the Uninstall.C4D subfolder.īrowse to your Archicad 23 folder and execute the uninstaller in the Uninstall.C4D subfolder. ** Note that in this step you can also create a new folder straight from the search window, so if you haven't created a plugins folder already you can do so in this step instead.Go to the Windows “Control Panel” and select “Programs and Features” to remove all Cinema 4D Add-on components from your computer. Since the old method still works, folders located in the same folder where Cinema 4D itself is installed are ignored if used as a Search Path * You cannot use a plugins folder inside of your Cinema 4D installation folder for this method. Now you can simply close Cinema 4D and re-launch it to and it should load all of the plugins installed to the new folder. Once you find and select that folder, click OK and you'll see it show up in the Search Paths box with a checkmark next to it showing that it's enabled now: This will open an Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac) search window which you can use to find the Plugins folder we created earlier**. Go to the Plugins section on the left, then click Add Folder on the bottom of this window: To do that, simply go to the Edit menu in Cinema 4D and choose Preferences. Next, You need to tell Cinema 4D where to search for plugins. This folder can be named anything, but in this example, we'll simply call it "Plugins": This folder can even be on a cloud service's folder such as Dropbox, Google Drive, or whatever else you use so that you can use the same plugins folder across multiple machines! This makes things very convenient when you're working at, say, a home computer as well as a laptop or work computer. Let's look at how to do that:įirst, you need to create a folder anywhere on your computer* to hold all your plugins. Although you could simply create a plugins folder in your Cinema 4D installation folder, this is the old method and does not always work properly with Cinema 4D R20 or higher versions of Cinema 4D.įortunately, in Cinema 4D R20 and higher the plugins system has been overhauled to make using plugins a lot easier! All you have to do is set up a plugins path in Cinema 4D's preferences. Cinema 4D no longer has a Plugins folder in the folder Cinema 4D is installed to.
