Installing Plugins


Use the Installers

If your plugin comes with an installer then please use that. It will install the plugins directly into the plugins folder for your copy of Cinema 4D.

When using the installers they expect to find Cinema 4D at its default install location.

For windows users you have the option to select a different root folder to tell the installer where it should look for the Cinema 4D folders. By default this is set to "C:\Program Files\"

  • On Windows
    • C:\Program Files\Maxon Cinema 4D 2024
  • On macOS
    • /Applications/Maxon Cinema 4D 2024

If the installer can't find Cinema 4D at these locations then you will not be given the option to install the plugins for those versions.

After installatin Restart Cinema 4D and you will now see your plugins under the Extensions menu in Cinema 4D.

Manual Installation

  1. Unzip the folder onto your computer.
  2. Then from Edit->Preferences->Plugins choose 'Add Folder' and select the folder containing the unzipped plugin.
  3. Restart C4D and the plugin will now be loaded.
  4. You will now see your plugins under the Extensions menu in Cinema 4D.

Licenses

GameLogicDesign grants you the right to install and use a copy of the plugin on up to two computers, as long as only one installation is used at any given time. The plugins must be installed on a computer running a validly licensed copy of MAXON’s Cinema 4D. If you wish to use the plugin on more than one computer, at the same time, you must purchase an appropriate number of additional licenses.

Our plugins do not come with any license keys or license server checks.
