Hi PluginCafe,

I would like to write a Tag-Plugin like the "LookAtCamera" Tag from the samples. For my Diaglog plugin I use ResEdit to design my layout etc. and import this with a view lines of code in C++. I don't have to write all those different files, because ResEdit creates them for me:-)

Now how would I use ResEdit to design menu structures for Tag-Plugins (inherited from TagData). Or let's say I want to write a material plugin, is it possible to use ResEdit for such plugins or is its purpose to work with dialogs/windows only?

Are there other tools/plugins/editors available to design menus in Ciname4d?

Thank you for now!
Andreas

You are right, ResEdit is not needed. The .res files in the Cinema4d folder "...\resource\res\..." are a pretty cool place to look for examples.
Just some links for others to get started with:
Plugin Folder Structure[URL-REMOVED]
Dialog Resource[URL-REMOVED]
Description Resource[URL-REMOVED]

[URL-REMOVED] @maxon: This section contained a non-resolving link which has been removed.

You can use the .res files that ship with C4D to learn from. There's a lot of them.
That's how I learned how to make them.

Thank you spedler. I had the hope that I don't need to learn how to write all those resource files by hand 😉

I found this tutorial:
http://irisvfx.com/blog/tutorials/introduction-cinema-4d-sdk-part-2/
It would be nice if Cinema4d would have such graphical illustrations in their documentation.

I will start learning to write descriptions for tags etc. from the docu and by experimenting with the samples. Of course I am open for any links and hints for additional examples/tutorials etc. 🙂

To write a tag you will have learn how to create descriptions by hand in a text editor. They're not difficult and in any case ResEdit can't be used for descriptions. TBH for dialog resources ResEdit produces a weird and difficult to change resource file anyway.

Just IMO of course, but I haven't used ResEdit for a long time, and don't miss it.
