Make a shortcut to cinema4D in your R17 folder.


Here i will show you how to manually tell c4d which prefs folder it should look at when launching. and is unique to each user account on your computer. This by default lives somewhere in your “my documents” folder. c:/program files/maxon/cinema4d or wherever you have it installed. The first place is in the root folder of c4d. Do you ever need to run various configurations of c4d on a regular basis? For example an install without plugins? Or perhaps you are beta testing a render engine, and you regularily need to switch between stable and beta version? Well here i’ll show you how to do that without duplicating your whole c4d install folder.Ĭinema4D looks in 2 places for plugins/scripts/layouts etc.
