In order to use this feature Cinema 4D and Visual Studio Code must be connected. Send script from Cinema 4D to Visual Studio Code: The command in the "File" menu of the Cinema 4D Script Manager allows you to send the contents of the active script in the Script Manager to all IDEs connected to Cinema 4D. Otherwise, "C4D X" means that the connection is not active. If the status bar shows "C4D ✓", it means that the connection is active and that the communication is going well. Runing the Toggle Connection with Cinema 4D command or clicking on the items in the status bar toggles the current connection status. Feature DescriptionĬonnection states with Cinema 4D: In the lower left corner of the Visual Studio Code windows, a status bar indicates the current connection status with Cinema 4D. This should be the same than the one in Cinema 4D preference.Ĭ4d.template: Path to the directory containing the python scripts used as template. If not defined or invalid, it is automatically defined when Visual Studio Code and Cinema 4D first connect.Ĭ4d.ip: IP address used to connect to Cinema 4D.Ĭ4d.port: Port used to connect to Cinema 4D. In Visual Studio Code preference within the Extensions | Cinema 4D category.Ĭ4d.path: Path to the Cinema 4D directory used for autocompletion and debugging. Port: The port the current WebSocket server is listening to. Once the server started, you can connect an IDE instance to it and shares codes. The server will then start automatically during Cinema 4D startup. WebSocket Json: If enabled, the WebSocket server is started. In Cinema 4D preference within the Extensions | Code Exchange menu. The Cinema 4D Connector extension for Visual Studio Code, directly accessible in the Visual Studio code marketplace, or download it here. You then need to activate the extension in the Cinema 4D preferences in the Extensions | Code Exchange menu, activate the WebSocket Json checkbox. Once downloaded, extract the archive to the Cinema 4D S26+ plugins folder. In order to be able to use all the features it is necessary to install the following two extensions: Maxon currently offers a free trial of Cinema 4D for 42 days.Īre you excited about this new R18 update to Cinema 4D?

You can now preview reflections, ambient occlusion, and displacement mapping directly in the viewport. This new feature can be used to create masks for worn edges or to imitate subsurface scattering. Maps shadows naturally across bump mattes, giving your projects further realism. This is perfect if you composite your 3D models in other applications like After Effects or NUKE. Isolates shadows from 3D objects for compositing. Applications could include oil patches, bubbles, or fingerprints. This incredible new features allow users to simulate oily surfaces. This will give users increased performance and flexibility when animating in Cinema 4D. Users can now seamlessly transfer models between applications. Modelers will quickly find this new features useful for building complex 3D models. Knife ToolsĬut lines across loops and planes. This is ideal for working on VFX sequences with multiple track points. You can track entire objects using the new Object Tracker feature. You can now distribute clones based on a honeycomb pattern. ReEffectorĪllows users to manage complex mograph sequences. Push Apart EffectorĪllows users to move, hide, or scale clones so they don’t overlap. This new feature is ideal for creating realistic fractures and explosion sequences. Fracture VoronoiĪllows objects to automatically be broken apart in a natural way.
