Fixing Third-Party Plugins in Cinema 4D R20
Ready to get up and running with Cinema 4D R20, but noticed all your third-party plugins are not working? Here’s the fix.
Cinema 4D R20 introduced a ton of new features and options, but you may notice a new change when trying to install your go-to plugins. All third-party plugins are not initially compatible with Cinema 4D R20, so you will need to update every plugin, whether they are from Greyscalegorilla or not.
To get the R20 compatible version of your third-party plugin, you’ll need to go back to the original developer or market you purchased the plugins from.
If you purchased a Greyscalegorilla plugin from our site, the updated R20 compatible version is now available in your Greyscalegorilla Account. Head over to Your Products and Training to find the most recent update. You will need to do a complete install with the new zip file.
The following Greyscalegorilla Plugins are R20 compatible with the free updated download:
- City Kit
- GorillaCam
- HDRI Link
- HDRI Studio Rig
- Light Kit Pro 2
- Light Kit Pro 3
- Signal
- TopCoat
- Transform
For X-Particles customers, Insydium Ltd has released the XP4 beta for R20, and you can learn more here.
If you purchased Greyscalegorilla plugins from re-sellers, like Toolfarm, your Toolfarm account will be automatically updated with the latest download.
For other third-party plugins purchased on other sites, head over there to find your updated download. Keep in mind that R20 is a new release and other vendors may take need some more time to release their updates.

12 Tutorials and Presentations From Siggraph 2013
This year’s Siggraph was full of great presentations from incredible film makers, designers, programmers, and artists that use Cinema 4D to help make their work. The talent and passion on stage this year was the best yet.

Be sure to follow the Cineversity Vimeo Channel for much more Cinema 4D related videos and tutorials.

Introducing Cineware and Cinema 4D Lite For After Effects
Maxon and Adobe announced Cineware and Cinema 4D Lite that will included in the next version of After Effects. Of course, we will have more tutorials about this functionality as it launches. But, for starters, I made a few demo videos below to show off what this new workflow could do for you. One video is for current After Effects users looking to learn what Cineware and Cinema 4D Lite can do, and the other video is for current Cinema 4D users wondering about the new workflow and how it works.
Cineware
Cineware is a brand new way to work between After Effects and Cinema 4D by letting you bring Cinema 4D files directly into After Effects with no rendering. Imagine Live Compositing™ directly in After Effects without having to render any files out of Cinema 4D. Change anything in your Cinema 4D file and it will automatically be updated in your AE comp. Very powerful stuff.
Cinema 4D Lite
Included in the upcoming version of After Effects is a FREE version of Cinema 4D called Cinema 4D Lite. It’s a new version of C4D specifically made for AE. For After Effects users, its a simple and free way to try out 3D in their workflow without buying anything other than After Effects. I think this will open up 3D to an entirely new set of users that would have never tried 3D before. Plus, if AE users find they are using Cinema 4D Lite in their projects and need more power, there is an easy upgrade path to the Professional versions of the software like the Broadcast or Studio version. A Full 3D package inside of After Effects… Period.

Turn One Object into another using Cinema 4D and Transform
In this training video, I show you how to use Transform to turn one object into another. It’s the most requested tutorial for Transform and I’m glad I finally got it recorded for you guys. In short, use two versions of Transform to make the effect. Put two different objects (of roughly the same size) in each version of Transform and set one Transform to “IN” and one to “OUT”. Then, pick your favorite effects or use the custom mode to build your own. Check out the video for more detail and how to set up your objects to create more interesting chunks.
