This folder can be named anything, but in this example, we'll simply call it 'Plugins': This folder can even be on a cloud service's folder such as Dropbox, Google Drive, or whatever else you use so that you can use the same plugins folder across multiple machines! This makes things very convenient when you're working at, say, a home computer as well as a laptop or work computer. Let's look at how to do that:įirst, you need to create a folder anywhere on your computer* to hold all your plugins. Although you could simply create a plugins folder in your Cinema 4D installation folder, this is the old method and does not always work properly with Cinema 4D R20 or higher versions of Cinema 4D.įortunately, in Cinema 4D R20 and higher the plugins system has been overhauled to make using plugins a lot easier! All you have to do is set up a plugins path in Cinema 4D's preferences. Cinema 4D no longer has a Plugins folder in the folder Cinema 4D is installed to.
