Hi all,
This is a new release of Integrated plugin for latest SDK(1.20). It includes nearly all functionality of Standalone 1.20.

VERSION Beta 0.79b:

Windows R12-R14(installer)
http://render.otoy.com/customerdownload ... -0.79B.exe

Macos:
R13: http://render.otoy.com/customerdownload ... Macosx.zip

This is wip version for giving some taste about node editor system. It's partially working, so don't except soo much functionality. Also has improved onscreen render info with gpu usage and temperature monitoring. I hope run smoothly. If you have a startup problem, this can be depended nvapi.dll.


Some note about usage of new update mechanism:
If plugin detects any change on P/R/S transforms on objects which has objecttag(numbered 1-8), so it's going to modify transform matrix. But if there some geometry change then will send all objects of same mesh numbers. So if you have some different groups with animation you may try different mesh number from 1 to 8. Number 0 means static geometry. So removing a objecttag or changing the mesh number to 0 has same result.

if a object group has objecttag with number 1 and it's updated, then only objects in this group will be updated. Also updating will done in main thread not in backgroud thread. This can cause noticable slowdowns if vertex of your objects is changing (with lot of vertexs and objects is attached on this mesh group).
So try step by step to understand the behaviour.

Helo All,

Sorry, this is my mistake on installer. Some missing files causes error. I'm going to fix soon

@aoktar, thank you for your quick response.

Please don't use this installer. It's super confusing (for example, you're forcing "Cinema 4D" at the end of the path, which is wrong in our (and probably most other) cases). When you manually fix the path, it asks you whether you want to write into an existing folder, which suggests something will be overwritten (which it isn't, but it's confusing).
Also, I end up with two "uninstall" files in the Cinema 4D root folder, and those certainly don't belong there.

Honestly, pretty much anyone using C4D will be able to manually unzip the files into the correct folder. The installer is actually making things worse, imho.
