Congratulations to MAXON for their new update of CINEMA 4D. Comprehensive upgrade provides powerful image quality, rendering and workflow enhancements and offers updated version of popular motion graphics module – MoGraph 2 – jam-packed with new functionality to inspire breathtaking 3D animations.

Py4D works with CINEMA 4D R11.5 and there will be no API Changes. The update to run Py4D in CINEMA 4D R11.5 will be available in the next days.

A new version of Py4D was released. A lot of bugs were fixed and a lot of stuff was added. Its now possible to write Bitmap Im- /Exporter and own Modifier. Check out the Changelog and feel free to update your current version of Py4D via the Online Updater or just download the whole package (Get Py4D).

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.

Due to an error of the internal memory management there is a new update of Py4D available which you can get via the Py4D Onlineupdater or as a complete package (see ‘Get 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.

Today I release the biggest Py4D Update. 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.
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.

A new version of Py4D is available. 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

Today I released Py4D 0.9.5060. I fixed a lot of bugs and added some new features. This version is not available via the OnlineUpdater so just download the whole package but don’t forget to save your current projects before you replace Py4D. You can get the package here. To see the ChangeLog, open the Documentation and click on “ChangeLog” or just click here. You don’t need a new license if you already have a serial license.

Please report all bugs. Thanks

Today, I released an update for Py4D. 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.
