IMPORTANT WARNING: The code below is for C4D R12 and later. I take the opposite approach in my tutorial, and start with the simplest possible plugin, and then build up. If you want to isolate a single example and modify that to create your own plugin, there is a good tutorial here. However, the good news is that you can create a C++ plugin for C4D using a single.

Unfortunately, this is quite a complex directory structure, with many file dependencies: making these plugin examples quite hard for beginners to understand. a text file mapping a title string for each menu plugin. res 'description resorce' files - a text file with it's own format which sets the size of certain objects. contains a big enum list giving each example unique IDs to identify dialog elements & strings. tif files used as menu and/or object icons. cpp file - but all have dependencies in the resource folder! contains code for all the examples - most in a single. main point of entry which registers all the examples contains *almost* all the source/code files The plugin examples (cinema4dsdk) directory is structured as follows: This should load, but beware that while you're developing, selecting 32/64 will take twice as long to compile, so its best to find out which is correct and then only create the true universal architecture version when compiling in Release mode. Go to Build, CleanAllTargets, say yes to defaults, then hit Build again. In the Project box, Build tab, change architecture to either 32 or 32/64/universal. If your example plugins still fail to load, ensure that you force them to compile in the appropriate architecture as follows: Double click cinema4dsdk under Groups and Files.

right click to get info and checking or unchecking the appropriate box. You can change this by highlighting the actual C4D application in Applications> Maxon.

Cinema 4D R11 opens as 32 bit by default and 11.5 as 64 bit by default on a mac. WARNING: If using combinations of c4d 11.0x, 11.5, and Xcode 3.x, you may encounter difficulties with the plugins compiling in Xcode, but failing to show up in the C4D plugin menu. It will find this dynamic library and if you click the Plugins menu you see ~20 entries under a new 'Cinema4dsdk' submenu - these plugin examples include custom dialogs (eg: Sub-Dialog), custom objects (eg: Rounded Tube), a very cool drawing tool (Liquid Drawing Tool) and so on. Hopefully it will compile without errors, and will create cinema4dsdk.dylib. To compile it: go to /Applications/MAXON/CINEMA 4D R11/plugins/cinema4dsdk, then open cinema4dsdk.xcodeproj in XCode. For C4D R11 on MacOS, it is required to be using MacOS 10.5 (or later) and Xcode 3.1 (or later).

This distribution comes with a directory full of C++ plugin examples, ready to be compiled.

I will assume you have downloaded a 42-day trial copy (here), or have a full version of C4D R11 or R12 (or later). NOTE: In the examples here I have used XCode on a Mac: if you use Windows I'd recommend using Microsoft Visual Studio. The downside: (1) there is a steep learning curve, (2) you must compile code yourself and (2) you must restart C4D each time you recompile! It's also worth noting that, as of Cinema R12, there were some major changes to Cinema 4D, including the addition of 'Melange' - a C++ library that can be linked to your own application allowing you to build, load and save C4D files - without the need for a C4D installation - although sadly there isn't great online support for this new feature yet. Unlike COFFEE (C4D's own interpreted scripting language), you can use the versatile C++ SDK to create new custom objects, animation tracks, mouse drawing tools and numerous other types of plugins (see at bottom). This page is to help you get started creating your own C++ plugins for Cinema 4D (C4D). NOTE: This page is a daughter page of: Cinema 4D
