Version Number Cinema 4D Icons for OSX 42 Comments

With the release of C4D R14, and it’s identical looking icon, I found myself never knowing what version of Cinema I was working in. Maybe it’s just me and my need to test products on all versions and do tutorials in different versions, but I needed a way to quickly differentiate between different versions. So, I made some icons. I also added some for the Net Renderer and clients since those can get confusing too. Feel free to use them on your different versions or just change your old version of C4D to the R14 icon just to look cool. Either way, here ya go.

How To Change Icons In OSX

  1. Select the Version of the C4D application you want to change.
  2. Right Click and select “Get Info” from the list.
  3. Drag and Drop the NEW icon you downloaded onto the existing one in the Get Info dialog box. (you may need too enter your password)
  4. Enjoy

      It’s just an image i’m afraid. I don’t have the model. Although, the models do exist somewhere. I remember seeing them. Anyone know where they are?

    I just rename my app files “cinema 4d 11″ or “cinema 4d 12″ then delete the old icon in the launcher bar and drag in a new one…. they keep the names when you use shift tab too. Have not run into any issues (yet) XD

    Hi Nick
    Thanks for the icons very useful. But one question is it possible to install and run Cinema 4D R13 and R14 on the same workstation? Is there no conflict between the versions?
    Have a nice day.

        I’m also running 10.6.8 and it’s not working for me. Nothing happens when I drop it in. What did you have to do?

          I’m running 10.6.8 as well and I’ve tried everything. Not working, and I change icons all the time on folders, but even unlocking the permissions doesn’t worked. tried copying and pasting, tried dragging icon…! Would love to use these things!

          Oh well!

            yeah i couldnt get it either under 10.6.8 .. even tried Litelcon2 app which is an app that facilitates the process. it changes it then changes it right back in the app. i think if we can open then save again somehow in preview then that might work. a new copy run through preview might “clean” the image? lol i dont know just typing out loud…

            unlock the file in the get info window, add yourself as a “read-write” user, the use the little settings dropdown (still in the info window) and make yourself the “owner”. Then you can change the icon and or name.

    Hi Nick,
    Question I know there is a way to revert the image, which software did you use to create and convert these images to .icon files. Much appreciate the help.

    Hi Nick,
    Just discovered this post – great idea to differentiate between the icons.
    Is the link still active as when I download and open the zip file, the icons seem to exist only as a file name and are zero KB in size.
    Would be grateful if you could re-upload them.
    Thanks
    Chris
