Dear Community,

we will need to leave you alone for a few days during which you'll experiment limited support bandwidth since the MAXON's SDK Team will be traveling to Frankfurt am Main to attend a yearly-recurring company meeting.

See you next week again,
Riccardo in the name of the entire team

Cinema 4D Release 21 has been announced. The new release introduces several relevant changes for plugin developers.

• Existing C++ plugins must be adapted and re-compiled for R21.
• Building C++ plugins will require Visual Studio 2017 or Xcode 10.
• Only one version of Cinema 4D will exist in the future.
• A new licensing system replaces the old, serial number based system. Plugins, that base their licensing scheme on that serial number, must adapt.
• Also, the SNHookClass plugin type has been removed.

More information on Cinema 4D R21 is found here:

• Cinema 4D R21 Overview
• Complete Feature List
• Cinema 4D R21 FAQ

The adapted C++ and Python SDKs will be published with the release of Cinema 4D R21 in September.

Hello,

by default, the MSVC build settings of the Cinema 4D R21 SDK activate Advanced Vector Extensions. This can cause issues on client systems that do not support AVX (the plugin will not show up for them).

The AVX settings are defined in the frameworks\settings\Base.props file.

To disable AVX support, simply remove the line

<EnableEnhancedInstructionSet>AdvancedVectorExtensions</EnableEnhancedInstructionSet>
