Aturtur's Cinema 4D Scripts

My collection of Python scripts for Maxon Cinema 4D (@aturtur). Almost every script is commented to make learning Python scripting in Cinema 4D faster and easier. You can find more of Cinema 4D related stuff on my blog e.g. Python Generators, Python Effectors, custom Xpresso setups and so on.

Latest version: 1.78 (Released 09.07.2024)

How to use

In this section I go through how you install AR_Scripts to Cinema 4D. These scripts are written for Maxon Cinema 4D 2024.4.0 (usually always the newest version) and Python 3.11.4. Scripts are tested using Microsoft Windows 11. All of the scripts should be compatible also with Mac OS. I'm not writing scripts anymore for older Cinema 4D versions.

Use these scripts with your own risk!

Installation

Download this repo and put ARScripts#.## folder to following path:

Windows

C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\MAXON\Maxon Cinema 4D 2024\library\scripts

Mac OS

/Applications/MAXON/CINEMA 4D 2024/library/scripts

Other way to find folder for installing scripts is to opening C4D and opening preferences (Ctrl+E / Cmd+E) and pressing 'Open Preferences Folder...' -button and navigating to library > scripts.

Addendum

Some of the scripts will make a txt-files in the aturtur folder under the C4D's prefs folder to save the previous settings of the script. C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\MAXON\Maxon Cinema 4D 2024\prefs\aturtur If/when you want to uninstall AR_Scripts completely, remove that folder too.

Using scripts

When you have installed AR_Scripts you have to reboot Cinema 4D if it is already running. On start up Cinema 4D will scan and load all of the scripts. Scripts are located under Extensions -> User Scripts -> ARScripts#.##. Scripts can be used with the commander (Shift+C) too.

You run the script by clicking it. Some of the scripts have multiple functions and you can use those with key modifiers (Alt / Ctrl / Shift) and different combinations. Some of the scripts requires a certain item selection or mode to be active. If you don't know what the script does you can either open the script in the script editor and read the description or search the info of the specific script on this page.
