Render Elements – V0.7.14 – Crash on quit fixed?

Mac version of the fix can be downloaded by clicking here. PC version will come shortly and I will post it on this thread.

PC version is now included in the download here.

I hope this fixes the problem. Big thanks to Wilfried Behne of Maxon and Franz at plugincafe for the help tracking this bug down.

Light Lister V1.0.1

I have rewritten my Light Lister plugin for C4D in python. It can be downloaded here:

Light Lister V1.0.1

It is for C4D V12. It will not work with older versions. Because it is python it should be PC and Mac compatible.

One additional treat…
I have left the source code un-encoded in the file on purpose. At the moment there are so few resources available for learning to program C4D plugins in python that I thought interested parties may learn a few things from the code. Please act responsibly with the source code.

Render Elements – V0.7.13

Cross Platform Download For C4D V12

Not sure what Render Elements does? Check out the new vimeo group, which has a couple demo videos!

It took a lot of time to get this updated or V12. A lot of things have changed in the C4D SDK. I have tried to test all functions, but I can’t guarantee it’s bug free. Please let me know if you find a bug. And, as always, please remember that this software is beta. Use at your own risk!

Summary of new changes/bug fixes:

- Code updated for V12.
- Mental Ray Camera Tags now supported. Mental Ray render settings supported.
- Full support for Sketch Style and Sketch Render tags
- Some internal changes with the way VRay tags are dealt with. Unfortunately, this means old scenes with Vray tags will have errors in them.
- Ability to choose what data is stored/recalled in render elements (under the options menu). This is a project-wide setting, not per element. These preferences can also be saved as default.
- “Delete All” menu selection now works properly and will not cause crashes or invalidate the render element list.
- “Delete All” menu selection will also give the option of deleting RE bitmap preview folders.
- Render elements can now be recorded for an untitled document. Previously, this was not allowed.
- Updated Help pdf.

Houdini – Procedural Text Animation Tutorial

This tutorial shows a technique for doing procedural text animation in Houdini, which I covered in my Motion Graphics class at SideFX software in October. Thanks to Peter Claes who provided guidance on the letter attribute problem.
