You can compile your plugins that have been signed with the Xcode debug license in debug or release mode and run them as much as you want. You can even do this on a different machine, when you are okay with a warning here and there. When you want to get up to speed with the C++ SDK again, I would recommend having a look at Getting Started: First Steps, it guides you through all the steps necessary to compile the SDK on Windows and MacOS, and do simple things like adding your first plugin and debugging code.

About your First Question

This is a development forum and your question does not seem to be development related. Please read our forum guidelines lined out above. I have moved this topic into General Talk for now. When this is indeed an end user question we must ask you to use our Support Center, the developer forum is not the right place for end user questions. When this is a development question, then please line out the current code you have and provide a meaningful problem description.

Cheers,
Maxime

Hi @filsdegraphiste,

The links under the youtube video from Donnovan have been broken after updating Cineversity. I've contacted the Web team, they are working on it. As of today it looks like the links have been fixed (e.g. here is the link to the CV-Parametric selection tag tutorial on the Cineversity portal). However, it also looks like the project files are still broken. It might take the Web team some time to recover them completely.

The CV Toolbox in turn is available on downloads page under "Cineversity Legacy Downloads" section.

Cheers,
Ilia

Hi @ceen, the only option available natively in Cinema 4D is the Align Normal but this change the normal, sadly there is no way to only select the inverted normal polygons.

With that's said please for any feature request, contact the Cinema 4D Support Center.
Cheers,
Maxime.

@Dunhou 非常感谢你的帮助，兄弟

Hey @InterfaceGuy,

you did nothing wrong here, that was an understandable mistake and we do not mind moving topics from time to time. But at the same time we still have to uphold our rules.

Hi all,

thanks for posting and indeed we are going to explore metadata handling in general.

Hey @Cankar001,

thank you for reaching out to us. It is great to hear that you found your solution! But I have troubles understanding all details of the rest of your question. However:

PluginStart ist just an alias for the plugin message C4DPL_INIT. A Cinema 4D instance has various stages in its startup and teardown sequence, as expressed by the plugin messages C4DPL_MESSAGES (see also: Plugin Messages). Through out the startup and teardown of Cinema 4D not all systems are available, as binaries/modules are loaded and unloaded and the systems associated with them are being pulled up and torn down. In the end it depends a bit on what you tried to do concretely, but generally speaking, it could very well be that something is not yet "up" when C4DPL_INIT is emitted. But in general, most modules, registries, etc. should be accessible at this point (plugins are loaded after the core and unloaded before the core).

To get here a more precise answer, I would recommend opening a new topic with concrete code.

Cheers,
Ferdinand

This is current version of plugins manager and growing up plugins!

About your First Question

Your question is off-topic even for our General Talk forum because this forum is about the APIs of Maxon products and coding in general. We will not delete such end-user questions but you will not get an answer from Maxon here, and likely also no community answer as must users are here developers or technical artists.

Please visit our Support Center when you have a technical end-user question.

Cheers,
Ferdinand
