About
This page contains a copy of the source code for a few of the Python scripts/plugins I've written for Cinema 4D. The following source code should work for C4D R12 and later. To get this code working you should first read the guide here:
- Quick summary of getting Python scripts working:
- Menubar: Script > Script Manager then under the "Python" tab click File > New.
- Copy and paste the desired script.
- Go: File > Save, and give appropriate name.
- Click Execute
- To see console output: Script > Console
- To execute the saved version: Script > User > Your Script Name
