Free Python Plugin: Quad Disc

Quad Disc
After more time than I'd like to admit I'd like to show you my Quad Disc plugin.
The plugin creates a primitive disc which consists solely of quads. No more triangles, no more weird deformations with Deformers, no more artefacts when using a Subdivision Surface.

Installation and usage instructions are in the GitHub readme.

Why not simply use a default Disc with a Remesher you ask? Because that would trigger a remesh everytime the radius of the disc changes, and controlling the poly count would be annoying. I ran into this a lot with a rig I'm working on right now, and that's why I created this plugin.
I hope something like this will ship natively with a future C4D version. Feel free to steal this code. Just don't sell it.

Great Works!

I have add zh-CN string to this and make an icon that similar to c4d Disc object.

@Dunhou you're a champ! I'll take a look at it later.
I was going to contact you these days to get this plugin in your plugin manager.
May I ask what you changed in the icon? I looked for best practices to create C4D-like icons but couldn't find any so I just winged it. -
@CJtheTiger That is very welcomed to put free plugins in the hub, feel free email me or PM for this.
And I actually subtract the spline sweep form a disc ( with an emission material and same color backgroud ) and stretch it in photoshop to match the c4d disc object. then make an alpha.
It would be great if Maxon could provide some basic public resources or design standards to make the secondary development plugins look more like c4d-ones.
Cheers~

@Dunhou and now I added German translations as well.
How can I contact you? I don't see a PM or email option anywhere.
And yeah I totally agree, I'd love a design guidelines document. Or even some behavior guidelines for basic plugin behaviors. Coming from an enterprise software background that's always something I like to go for, making things feel like they belong there. -
@CJtheTiger Sorry, working on the forum, had to disable chats to fix notifications, chats are now enabled again.

I had PM you about that but I wonder if you see it @CJtheTiger, or you can get my e-mail address on my Github.
Cheers~
