]]> http://www.py4d.com/2009/08/py4d-v0-9-9001/feed/ 0 Py4D 0.9.8400 and Python 2.6.2! It becomes serious… http://www.py4d.com/2009/06/py4d-098400-and-python-262-it-becomes-serious/ http://www.py4d.com/2009/06/py4d-098400-and-python-262-it-becomes-serious/#comments Mon, 22 Jun 2009 23:50:11 +0000 Sebastian http://www.py4d.com/?p=433 Back again I proudly present a new version of Py4D. The version counter increased up to 0.9.8400 and the final release keeps coming closer and closer.  At first this version is not available via the Onlineupdater because the directory structure was cleaned up and Python was updated up to 2.6.2. so this is the safest way to update Py4D and the components.

Python 2.6.2 is just an update with a lot of bugfixes and is downwardly compatible . See the Changelog to get more information. Py4D also has a Changelog. To avoid problems with previous Py4D versions you should delete the whole Py4D plugin folder after you saved your files. On the next startup of CINEMA 4D you will get a serial request again even you current serial is still valid. The serial generator  (see ‘Get Py4D‘) will create a serial which is valid until August 27, 2009. All examples are adjusted to the changes of the SDK. If you have any questions or found any bugs, please don’t hesitate to ask me via mail or the forum. Have fun with Py4D.

In a few cases the NetRENDER of CINEMA 4D does not startup properly(v0.9.6500 and v0.9.7101). This update is recommended to all users. Py4D 0.9.7150 works stable and fine on all systems.

With this version several new features find their way into this plugin. The Source Protector is such an addition. You can protect your plugins with the popular AES-128 encryption and share your plugins with other people. A lot of bugs are fixed and some new methods and classes were added. You just might read the ChangeLog and see whats new. If you have any suggestions or recommendations, feel free to write a comment.bild-11
If you use 0.9.6500 you can use the OnlineUpdater of Py4D. At first you have to update the Onlineupdater. After a restart of CINEMA 4D you have to open the updater again and download the new 0.9.7101 package (please close *all* files and applications, except CINEMA 4D). Otherwise you can just download the package on the right side. Open “Get-Py4D” and follow the instructions carefully.

]]> http://www.py4d.com/2009/05/py4d-097101-biggest-update/feed/ 1 Py4D v0.9.6500 released http://www.py4d.com/2009/03/py4d-is-back-v096500/ http://www.py4d.com/2009/03/py4d-is-back-v096500/#comments Wed, 25 Mar 2009 13:35:14 +0000 Sebastian http://www.py4d.com/?p=335 A few days ago, Py4D had some problems with the internal license management of CINEMA 4D. So if the serial of a plugin expired once, the plugin will not work anymore (just with a small workaround). Some people were in luck by requesting a serial before Py4D expired. I am sorry for this – thanks for your patience…

I fixed the problem with the license management.So if you start Py4D again you need a new serial. The activation code is equal the first eleven digits of your CINEMA 4D serial. Just pass this activation code to the serial generator. By the way Py4D returns with a lot of bugfixes, changes and additions. I took the time to fix all crashs which were reported and Py4D seems to stable now. Several bugs with Thinking Particles, BaseBitmap, the Texteditor and internal memory management are fixed.

See the ChangeLog: http://www.py4d.com/doc/misc/changelog.html

I fixed all reported bugs, implemented a new OnlineUpdater and added some new stuff which was requested by users. If you already made some scripts/plugins I would really like to see what you have done with Py4D, even the package is shipped with some examples.

The first updater had a lot of problems on some systems so I am sorry to say that this update is not available via the OnlineUpdater. For me its a new experience so I just have to learn how the update process works on all the different systems – but I hope the Updater which is shipped with the current version is stable and works fine. If you have any problems, please report them.

To download Py4D 0.9.5555 just click on “Get Py4D!” (at the right side). You don’t need a new license if you used Py4D before.

Have fun :)

I added new features, and fixed a lot of bugs (especially the sanbdox which had problems). There are two ways how to get the new version. If you are new to Py4D click on “Get Py4D!” on the right side and read the instructions.

If you already used Py4D 0.9.5016 you can just use the OnlineUpdater of Py4D (not the CINEMA 4D updater).

updater

At first you have to update the OnlineUpdater, then restart CINEMA 4D and start the updater again. Then you should see a new package which contains the new version. If something goes wrong with the update, go to “Get Py4D!” and download the whole package again. (do the same what you have done with Py4D 0.9.5016)

updated

Have fun :) If something is wrong with the new version you can download Py4D v0.9.5016 which is available as well.
