Thanks for the mention, happy to see Pyblish and Avalon still making a difference out there in the world. ❤️
🥲It makes me happy to see c4d supported. I ended up moving to video games and haven’t gotten to use c4d or openpype in a while. Still using Pyblish!

Ah cool, nice to see you were finally able to work on it again! :rocket: :tada:

Testing notes:
Some history to this 🦕
Things have come a long way.
I'm not a Cinema4D user nor do we use it at my studio, but I've always enjoyed playing around in multiple apps and try and integrate them into the pipeline. Even back in the Avalon pipeline days - and I'm sure @mottosso had plenty of head scratching when I yet again tried to 'get another tool in the box' for Avalon. And maybe even before that was @anjos dealing with Cinema4D with Pyblish
That even ended up under the arms of @jasperges for dutch studio Job, Joris en Marieke where they actually did a full animated series with Cinema4D integration inside Avalon (not public code; but Jasper was kind enough to provide me access but I never found the time).
Later, @ninglesby made an attempt in OpenPype which unfortunately died off at the time.
But, time for resurrection after the dinosaur extinction. ☄️ Let's give it another attempt yet not forget the coding tears and sacrifices of the past. So thanks do also go out to @jasperges, Job, Joris en Marieke, @anjos, @mottosso and @ninglesby - and others who shared some tears through that in the past. 🥇
But most important of all - I'm still not a Cinema4D users, so to really get this to 'more than just for fun' we need users to start using it.
Did you end up here, but no idea what this is?
Good! In need of a better pipeline? Check out AYON and then get your ass back here to test the Cinema4D pipeline integration this offers - manages everything from your workfiles, to creating consistent exports with validations, publishing your content, loading that back in and managing that easily too. But best, tightly connected to the rest of AYON, and that opens doors.
