Cinema 4D is the easiest, best 3-D app for the mac right now. Maya is better if you're working in a high-end vfx facility doing VERY specific things, but C4D is much more approachable. I find it to be very easy to learn and use, fast, and it renders beautiful images with very little work. Torrent Description Maxon CINEMA 4D Studio R19.024 + VRAY for C4D v3.6.0 Cinema 4D Release 19 offers both great tools and enhancements you can put to use immediately and a peek into the foundations for the future.

C4d R19 For Mac
Note
Maschine the hip hop beat makers missing manual. If the Redshift main menu is missing, then the plugin installation has not been successful
When selected, the Redshift Preferences are displayed
Here you can verify that Redshift has detected all your GPUs and everything is working correctly.
Troubleshooting
If the plugin does not appear in Cinema 4D, please do the following:
- Check that your version of your Cinema 4D is supported. See here for the list of supported versions
- If you're a macOS user, make sure you installed the correct version!
- For High Sierra systems with NVidia GPUs, the installer .pkg filename should contain the word 'cuda'
- For Big Sur systems with AMD GPUs, the installer .pkg filename should contain the word 'metal'
- If you're using NVidia GPU, check that your GPU driver is up-to-date.
- Windows: Use the latest driver for your GPU from Nvidia's website.
- macOS: The plugin requires a recent version of Nvidia's (Web) driver and CUDA driver. These are two separate installers! Make sure that you're running the latest version of both of these components, via the NVIDIA Driver Manager and CUDA options in the macOS System Preferences.
- Check that the installer has placed the Redshift plugin in your Cinema 4D application plugin folder which by default should be (in Cinema 4D R18 as an example):
- Windows: C:Program FilesMAXONCINEMA 4D R18plugins
- macOS: /Applications/MAXON/CINEMA 4D R18/plugins
Check that only a single instance of the Redshift plugin is available in any of the locations that Cinema 4D loads plugins. If more than one instance is detected the plugin will not load but will output the following message in the Cinema 4D Console or CommandLine log:
Cinema 4D loads plugins form the following locations
- The Cinema 4D application Plugins folder
- The Plugins folder within the user Preferences folder
- The plugin folder specified through the C4D_PLUGINS_DIR environment variable
- The same message will also be displayed if a mismatch is detected between the plugin version and the Redshift runtime version.
- If your Cinema 4D installation is available in a non-standard location you will need to:
- Windows: Manually copy the following components to your Cinema 4D application (or user preference) plugin folder (eg. for Cinema 4D R18)
- The Redshift plugin folder from C:ProgramDataRedshiftPluginsC4DR18Redshift
- Copy all DLL files from C:ProgramDataRedshiftbin to the new Redshift plugin folder in your custom location
- macOS: Manually copy the following folder to your Cinema 4D application (or user preference) plugin folder (eg. for Cinema 4D R18)
- The Redshift plugin folder from /Applications/redshift/redshift4c4d/R18/Redshift
- Copy all dylib files and dylib links/aliases from /Applications/redshift/bin to the new Redshift plugin folder in your custom location
- Note: Cinema 4D on macOS does not support symbolic links or aliases to plugin folders, so the Redshift plugin folder needs to be physically copied.
- Windows: Manually copy the following components to your Cinema 4D application (or user preference) plugin folder (eg. for Cinema 4D R18)
- macOS: Check that the Redshift folder exists in /Applications/redshift folder. Moving or renaming this folder is not supported.

Update
Click the Update button while an existing KeyShot scene is open to update any changes on your model.
Export
Click the Export button to export your geometry as a .BIP file that you can share with other KeyShot users. KeyShot will not launch.
How To Use The Plugin
- Open your scene or model in C4D.
- Go to Extensions, KeyShot and click the Render to launch KeyShot. The 3D data will be transferred from C4D to KeyShot.
- To Update any changes made in C4D, click Update while your KeyShot scene is open. All materials, textures, labels, animations, transformations, cameras, and lighting will be maintained in the scene.
Note
Previously imported animations will remain in the scene if a scene is updated. For best results, delete the old animation in KeyShot prior to sending updates to KeyShot.
Deformable Animation Import
Deformable animations are not supported by the SDK for C4D and can therefore not be transferred to KeyShot directly using the plugin. To transfer deformable animations from C4D to KeyShot export an Alembic (.abc) file from C4D.
Uninstall
Inside C4D go to Edit, Preferences. Click on Plugins in the left-hand menu. Right-click on the KeyShot folder and click Show in Explorer… Close C4D and delete the KeyShot folder with the Cinema 4D plugin inside.
