      Although I have experience in writing C, C++, and Java, I'm totally new at trying to write plugins for C4D (R8).  What do I need to download and where exactly do I find the SDK, documentation, etc.?
      I know that this is the right place (Plugin Cafe), but can only find online documentation so far.
      Thanks and expect general confusion on my end... 🙂

        Hi,
        you need a computer 🙂 optimal would be a PC and MAC if you want to develop with C++.
        In this case you will need MSVC++ 6 for PC and Metrowerks Codewarrior 8 for MAC to compile with highest performance.
        You can also use Codewarrior on PC to compile for PC & MAC (Cross-compilation) but the code performance isn´t as good as on a MAC.
        Then get into the download section of the plugincafe and download the SDK Project files. You want to additionally download the SDK Documentation.
        That´s all you need. To test your plugins it would be an advantage if you owned Cinema 4D 😉
        Best

          Computer (check, I think) 😉
          MSVC++ 6.0 (check)
          Just got the SDK files and docs (check)
          Cinema 4D XL R8 (check) 🙂
          Alright, I will read through the documentation and fire away questions afterwards... 🙂
          Thanks, Samir,

              Sorry about that Samir,
              That was me posting as kuroyume to test out a problem that he was saying he had.   I should have checked the context of where I was issuing the test.
