Plugin development tutorials
A new series of tutorials on building plugins for Cinema 4D in C++. If you ever wondered how to do this, take a look at these pages where I go through my experiences of getting started with plugin development. The first two sections, on compiling the Cinema 4D SDK examples and creating a plugin from scratch, are available now. (August 22nd 2009)
I have updated these pages with reference to compiling plugins on the Mac. See the addendum page for more details. (November 2nd 2009)
Free models and plants
Models
These are some of my earliest models, originally created for use in Poser. I thought I'd upload them here for C4D users as well. They can be downloaded from the C4D models page.
Plants
Model of a stinging nettle. Model added November 2nd 2009.
I've been busy developing plugins recently, so here's the first plant I have been able to add for a while.
You can get this and other plants from the plants download page.
