Hey @Gemini,

as I just said, there aren't any, even in the non-public C++ API. When you want to provide a layout, you must save it as a layout file and then load it via LoadFile.

Graph Description is great and I love it.

I wrote a rough trace to generate descriptions from selected material and reconstruct a new material based on the descriptions.

I have more plans for this, but due to busy artistic work I had to suspend this project. It's really regrettable.

But I have more plans and ideas about this. Perhaps before I achieve my idea, the omnipotent @ferdinand already has these features built-in, who knows 😊

Cheers~

I just simply add a plugin to C4D which creates a user menu into C4D all in one pack without adding any script into the user C4D preferences folder ( library / scripts ) . Menu and script embedded solution all in one plugin inside.

@Dunhou It seems corect! Well done.

There is no such plugins (at least that I'm aware) in Cinema 4D, however you may be able to find issue in your mesh via the Mesh Checking features available in the Mode of the Attribute Manager.

About your First Question

Third party software is out of scope of our Support Procedures, namely:

We cannot provide support for third party libraries.

Hence I've moved your thread to the "General Talk" forum.

Many thanks to @Dunhou for taking an active role of our community! Much appreciated!

Cheers,
Ilia

Hey @Livat1984,

There are currently four commercial third party solutions for your task (that I am aware of):

Forrester is a full blown plugin suite for vegetation generation. Taio is also a vegetation solution which integrates nicely into the Insydium toolkit. Laubwerk is more an asset library with an optional surface distribution plugin. Poliigon also offers bindings for its asset library to Cinema 4D, including a vegetation library. With Cinema's own Mograph (Cloner, Fields, and MoSpline) system, Scene Nodes, and our asset library you can also get pretty far.

Fig. I: Cinema's own asset library comes with substantial content in the Plants section (all the content does not even fit on my screen, there is more). Finally, a while ago a user posted here a free plant generator, but I am not sure if it is being maintained.

If your question is actually development-related (as you've attached "Programming" tag to your posting), then please elaborate on your question from the technical point of view, namely, what specifically are you trying to achieve and by what means?

You can compile your plugins that have been signed with the Xcode debug license in debug or release mode and run them as much as you want. You can even do this on a different machine, when you are okay with a warning here and there. When you want to get up to speed with the C++ SDK again, I would recommend having a look at Getting Started: First Steps, it guides you through all the steps necessary to compile the SDK on Windows and MacOS, and do simple things like adding your first plugin and debugging code.

Hi @filsdegraphiste,

The links under the youtube video from Donnovan have been broken after updating Cineversity. I've contacted the Web team, they are working on it. As of today it looks like the links have been fixed (e.g. here is the link to the CV-Parametric selection tag tutorial on the Cineversity portal). However, it also looks like the project files are still broken. It might take the Web team some time to recover them completely.

The CV Toolbox in turn is available on downloads page under "Cineversity Legacy Downloads" section.

Cheers,
Ilia

Hi @ceen, the only option available natively in Cinema 4D is the Align Normal but this change the normal, sadly there is no way to only select the inverted normal polygons.

With that's said please for any feature request, contact the Cinema 4D Support Center.
Cheers,
Maxime.

@Dunhou 非常感谢你的帮助，兄弟

Hi @litao ,

Sure, for the end-user questions you can always reach out our Support Center.
