Since R20 there you to place a plugins anywhere, and load them in ad-hock via a plugin link in prefs.Usually each xdl64 or xlib will be named appropriately for the c4d version it should work in. An R20 plugin, will only work in R20 (20.059).Unfortunately, Cinema 4D now needs a different build for every R version of Cinema 4D. Most Cinema 4D plugins come as a simple zip file, which contains everything the plugin needs.** 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. 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.
