Hi PluginCafe,
I would like to write a Tag-Plugin like the "LookAtCamera" Tag from the samples. For my Diaglog plugin I use ResEdit to design my layout etc. and import this with a view lines of code in C++. I don't have to write all those different files, because ResEdit creates them for me:-)
Now how would I use ResEdit to design menu structures for Tag-Plugins (inherited from TagData). Or let's say I want to write a material plugin, is it possible to use ResEdit for such plugins or is its purpose to work with dialogs/windows only?
Are there other tools/plugins/editors available to design menus in Ciname4d?
Thank you for now! Andreas

To write a tag you will have learn how to create descriptions by hand in a text editor. They're not difficult and in any case ResEdit can't be used for descriptions. TBH for dialog resources ResEdit produces a weird and difficult to change resource file anyway.
Just IMO of course, but I haven't used ResEdit for a long time, and don't miss it.

Thank you spedler. I had the hope that I don't need to learn how to write all those resource files by hand
I found this tutorial: http://irisvfx.com/blog/tutorials/introduction-cinema-4d-sdk-part-2/ It would be nice if Cinema4d would have such graphical illustrations in their documentation.
I will start learning to write descriptions for tags etc. from the docu and by experimenting with the samples. Of course I am open for any links and hints for additional examples/tutorials etc.

You can use the .res files that ship with C4D to learn from. There's a lot of them. That's how I learned how to make them.

You are right, ResEdit is not needed. The .res files in the Cinema4d folder "...\resource\res\..." are a pretty cool place to look for examples. Just some links for others to get started with: Plugin Folder Structure Dialog Resource Description Resource
