Hi,
I'm writing a 3D application and wish to export to C4D (including bones and skinning data). As the PDF about the C4D file format is a bit old, I'm asking myself if it's still an open format. May be MAXON rather recommend to write a scene importer plugin, by the mean of the SDK ?
Thanks in advance. All the best,

Yes, a scene importer is the best solution. The R8 file format isn't open.
