It’s this time of the year again, we have released the new major version R19 of Cinema 4D.
Check out the new features of R19 on maxon.net.
Of course R19 also comes with updated SDKs for C++ and Python.
C++
- Browse C++ SDK Documentation Online
- List of C++ API changes
- Download HTML format
- Download Windows HTML help format
Python
Some Highlights
- C++ and Python: Support for new features, like LOD object, Polygon Reduction and Sound Effector
- C++: Delegate support to define callbacks
- C++: Sometimes the small things matter: GetDataInstanceRef()
- Python: C4DFallOff is now available, providing you for example with means to add FallOffs to modifiers/deformers
New Documentation Content
Furthermore we extended the C++ SDK documentations with a few new overview and manual pages, like for example:
The Python documentation also inherited a few manuals from the C++ documentation.
New Examples
Finally we have a bunch of new C++ plugin examples as well as Python script and plugin examples.
Unfortunately the C++ examples didn’t make it into the SDK delivered with R19 and R19 SP1. Instead we updated (finally!) our GitHub repository, so a bunch of new source can be found there and the old examples have been adapted to R19, where needed (which is actually not that much).
- objectdata_greektemple
- objectdata_heartshape
- objectdata_hyperfile
- objectdata_latticeplanemodifier
- objectdata_loftedmesh
- objectdata_planebypolygons
- objectdata_porcupinemodifier
- objectdata_revolvedmesh
- objectdata_ruledmesh
- objectdata_shufflingparticles
- objectdata_vertexhandle
- misc_delegate_test
- polygonreduction
And of course Python received new examples as well:
- Py-Preference
- Py-DoubleCircle (demos RegisterPluginHelpCallback())
- Py-SpherifyModifier (added falloff)
- New scripts for R19
Thanks for this awesome release.
Didn’t except most of the limitation I deal with python are now over ! 😀
Hey, I’m currently studying 3d and animation and we are using Cinema 4d alot. We use the student version at home and our school’s version at school. The problem with this is that the student version at home doesn’t update by it self or by some IT guy hired by our school. They updated all the computers to R19…but how can we do this at our own computers at home?
All replies are apriciated, if you have any information to help me update that would be wonderfull.
I’m sorry, you ended up on our blog focusing on developers. We can’t do much about licensing or student versions here.
It’s probably best to contact our support: https://www.maxon.net/en/support/how-can-we-help/
