• If I buy this plugin, is it not a monthly payment, but is it permanently available?
    Hi yongjun lee,

    yes, it is permanently available and you'll have a lifetime license, if you want to say so... and you can download it and have support, as long as this site is maintained and active.. :)

    Cheers,
    Lasse
  • Can you tell me what floating license is? And if I buy a single user license, can I only have one per account?
  • When I say Cinema 4D/After Effects, I say AEC4D Pro. 99,9% of my C4D/AE projects involve this plugin, I cannot imagine an easier workflow without it!

    It would be amazing if you could add a feature exporting also User Data from an object to a slider of the very same exported object in After Effects. (A Null object with a User Data containing a noise value -> null object in After Effects with a baked slider control applied to it).

  • Hi, can you make it work with R15?
  • Having an issue where sometimes the plugin wont show in the Extensions list...have to restart C4D as many times as it takes to get the plugin to show in the menu.

    I've tried removing the plugin and reinstalling, but issue remains.

    Any ideas?

  • Love this plugin, it's a real improvement on the workflow. Just wanted to report a couple of bugs.

    Making selections in the plugin window could be improved. Right now I can't use shift click to select multiple elements. Using shift makes a selection from the bottom up the list, which is not the intention.

    Also, noticed that cameras imported from the plugin have slightly different values vs importing the c4d file to AE directly and extracting there (previously baking in c4d of course) - this affects motion blur at least in the instance where i'm using it and the blur is incorrect for some reason.

    Happy to chat more about this if needed

    Hi Jesus,
    thanks for your feedback! I’m always looking to improve the plugin, so thanks for your input!
    I know about the issue with selections in the overview, it’s sadly a limitation with c4d’s treeview, so it’s not an easy fix, I guess.
    I’m happy to chat about the issues regarding motion-blur, I know this was a problem in earlier version, but that should be fixed. Please open a support ticket and send me an example scene so I can investigate any further!!!
    Thanks for your time!

    My bad... Copied an older version from previous C4D. Works great. Thanks for the great Plugin.
  • Hi Lasse,

    There are workarounds but wondering if you have considered the extra functionality of bringing in mulit-layer EXR's and auto apply the appropriate effects ect.... wanna build this plugin for fusion/davinci as well?

    Cheers
  • Hi, love the plugin!

    Conforming that there is some sort of conflict between AEC4D (latest) and Nitro4d's NitroBoxTool in R23.   Having AEC4D installed slows interaction down to a crawl in Nitrobox tool, making it unusable.

    Not sure if the fault is AEC4D or NitroBoxTool but was hoping that you might take a look if possible.

    Thanks,

    Lance

    Sorry about this Lance,
    but as it turned out, the issues are with NitroBoxTool and also some Cineversity plugins which are not quite ready for R23 yet.
  • Hello, I am interest in this tool that looks really great but I'd like to confirm something before buying. I am looking for a way to bring back C4D cameras rigs in AE, typically some basic combinaision of cameras attached to animated nulls. With the cineware method it is a mess, always shifting and never match... Will it work smoothly with AEC4D ? Thanks

    Hi Mathieu,

    it most definitely will, as it transfers the global/world PSR from any object!

    Feel free to download the trial and try it for yourself...!

  • Testing this plugin out but i can't get it to export anything to AE.
    : / 
  • I just tried to export several cloners using the plugin but it does not export the children. 
    I checked the Bake Mograph option, 
    I checked the Children option in the External Compositing tag, 
    I baked the animations of the cloners using a MoGraph Cache tag...
    It simply does not work: only the root of the cloners are exported, not the children...

    I'm working in C4D R21.207 & AE CC 17.6.0 on Win Pro 10

    Please advice.

    You're exporting the selected Object only, which works as expected.

    Hi Koen,

    I’m using the following preset to export nulls from a cloner and/or matrix-object:

    It’s a little workaround but works actually pretty well. I’ll try to implement a build-in behavior for the upcoming version.

  • Just a quick message to say that AEC4D is one of the greatest tools ever created!  I am thankful for it every time I use it.  Thanks Lasse!
  • Does work with octane render texture and materials to after effects?
  • How do I tell AEC4D Pro which version AE to use?

    When I click export to active comp, instead of sending the layers to the currently active comp in AE2021, it force opens AE2020 and gives me the error that there is no active comp.
    Any tips?
    (I should note that yes, I do unfortunately need AE20 and 21 at the moment)

    Hi Tim,
    sure you can.

    Just go into the Settings and change via the dropdown the version to your liking...

  • Hey Lasse,

    I guess it's needless to say that your plugin is brilliant and a must-have. In fact, I'm using it on almost all of my projects, which brings me to my main question: Is there going to be an update to make the plugin work on C4D S24? I copied the files but it doesn't show up in the plugins list.

    Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Csaba,
    thanks for the kind words and thanks for using AEC4DPRO!

    S24 is already supported. Just copy the "AEC4D-PRO" folder from within the "R23+" folder !!! into your plugins folder.

    Fantastic, I was going to open a support ticket, but it worked. Perhaps it was necessary to reboot. The plugin is very necessary for work. Idea for improvement, is it possible to load calculated passes in after fx right away with correct order and overlay ???
  • Hey there, I tried using this in conjunction with your python script mograph to nulls. In Cinema4D mograph to nulls works perfectly but when I''ve used this with AEC4D no keyframe data seems to get brought into the shape layers? Otherwise, love the plugin thank you very much!
