      I want to write the simplest plug-in in C + +

      But I've already configured the SDK

      I went through some tutorials and found that the vs version is updated a lot. I don't know how to configure it

      I would like to ask vs2017 and R21 for a tutorial on writing the simplest plug-in

      It's better to have a video tutorial so that I can understand my English faster. It's not very good

          @dada I would not recommend using the C++ SDK for a C++ novice. The Python SDK is much easier to get something done quickly and get used to the API.

            @s_bach Thank you in advance for your reply
            I refer to what you said and went to the SDK documentation
            I can't successfully create a cheapest plugin of my own
            I want to ask
            Are there any tutorials that are particularly suitable for newbies in C ++, I found links to some resources on this forum
            But the tutorials that are clicked are older versions and are not applicable to c4dR21 and Visual Studio 2017
            I hope there is a video tutorial that teaches me how to configure Visual Studio 2017 and successfully create the first plugin of my own
            I can pay to buy this video tutorial
            I would like to use what I learned to write my own C ++ plugin

              I will already use python to create scripts and my own plugins
              But I want to write my own script in C ++
              Thank you for your reply

                Hello,

                there aren't any official video tutorials regarding plugin development.

                If you are new to C++, I strongly suggest to learn the language and how to use Visual Studio before diving into Cinema 4D plugin programming.

                When you are familiar with C++ and Visual Studio, the first thing you should do is to compile the provided example projects. Especially the "microsdk" show the basics of a simple project. How to build the example projects is described here: Getting Started: Introduction.

                What specific issues do you encounter while compiling the examples?

                best wishes,
                Sebastian
