Cineware SDK Overview

Cineware SDK
Cineware is MAXON’s file exchange and render connection C++ library. Develop plugins and pipeline tools which can read and write
.c4d
files using Cineware without having a Cinema 4D installation present. Whether you want to build a commercial exchange plugin, connect your in-house software to Cinema 4D or just get some data out of .c4d files, Cineware is the simplest way to achieve your goals. When a Cinema 4D installation is present, you can also render using Cineware. The rendering will be done in the background as if it was a native part of your application.Quick Start
