    how to extract thumbnail image from .c4d file without Cinema 4D installed?

    My goal is to create software that can display thumbnails of .c4d files, regardless of whether the user has Cinema 4D installed.

    Perhaps I can obtain the relevant functions from the Cinema 4D SDK to launch a .c4d scene in the background and capture a screenshot. However, I believe this approach might be too expansive for many files.

    Here are the steps I attempted: I copied a .c4d file to a brand new computer and used the win_thumbnail.dll from my original computer to update the registry on this new computer. After that, the .c4d file display the thumbnail correctly.

    Does the .c4d file already contain a pre-generated thumbnail, and how can I retrieve it?

    thanks for your help.
