Thanks for your generosity 👍

Almost all plugins users install into preference plugin folder. If you have opened c4d, open preference folder (Edit/Preferences/Open Preferences folder). If you have folder "plugins" (if is not "plugins" folder in preferences, create it) in opened window, open it and paste TGS Texture Manager here and close preference folder. Then go to preferences in c4d again (Edit/Preferences/Plugins/Add folder...) and add path to "plugins" folder. In case you have TGS Texture Manager plugin (extracted) on other place on your harddrive/SSD, you need to set path to this place. For example if you have plugin in "My plugins folder" on D drive, you need to add path (Edit /Preferences/Plugins/Add folder...) to folder "My plugins folder" on D drive Be sure you have just one installation of plugin. (You can have plugins installed on different places on drives, but with added path/folder c4d always know where to search them. But multiple instancies of the same plugin cause problems...)

quoted from manual: "If a Node produces errors or has been fed with invalid data types, it will be framed in red (look for error messages in the info area that can give you more information). This red frame can be hidden if you disable the Error option." (in the most cases it´s connecting not-compatibile ports...)

great tips, maybe we could add modeling "orgy" by John Dickinson @Motionworks (something like MILG "Live") https://www.youtube.com/johndickinsontutorials

I´m not sure, but I think with MSA you´ll get one full release and service packs for that release. MSA users never get 2 full releases for just single MSA contract. Benefits of MSA was lower upgrade price, Cineversity service and posibility to install c4d to second computer...

Btw, Trial version 14 days only?

There will be some "conversion" mode for nodes? For example some mograph setup with few objects/tags converted to nodes if I found more posibilities to adjust this setup in nodes? Or must decide nodes or OM workflow to create my mograph setup? It´s just an example with mograph, but hard to imagine when some user/artist sit in front of computer and try to create character/model with nodes. I think he wants to "touch" the mesh, play with brush, "visually" modeling instead of playing with ton of nodes...

...scene nodes are meant to replace OM/whole c4d workflow? I mean object creation, transformation, rigging, scene enviroment etc to pure node workflow?

I think he means adding values directly/outside of node. Parameter/value driven by another nodes etc... btw, Trial version is restricted to 14 days only? For testing/researching of nodes system and it´s deeper functionality would be great to have no time restricted trial as we know from the past...

So, what´s the result? Have you now Cineversity or not? @hobbyist...If they turn off access for you, it was not me! :-)

Don´t know how it was done in old file, but I think there was used simple xpresso with point node (what FFD basically is) here is fast example from R21... FFD_driven_by_nulls.zip

From all of this kind of discussions I simply don´t understand why "freelancers" with income higher than software package price cry about prices... If software make just 1 dollar over price what you´ve paid for this software, you´re profitable. If I do commercially and have income from this work, simply I´ll pay full commercial price. Done. If you make 100k for a year (or 50k or 10k, it´s doesn´t matter), why you want better price for software against user with commercial licence? Different story are hobby/enthusiasts users, especially with zero income. They´re pure "sponsors" of software developers. With current prices this group will gradually (but for sure) disappear...

There´s not any official info about opened Cineversity service till the end of year for all perpetual users. They hold data (related to licence) of all users (perpetual/subscribers), so they know in any time if you have active licence/Cineversity service or not. Only what is clear for me is MSA users with finished contract has not access to Cineversity... Maybe Rick could clarify things... .... I don´t want to risk they turn off Cineversity for you (as you currently have it) if I ask for Cineversity too and then I´ll stay bad guy for you :-)

Don´t know about that...but in my licence manager is not any sign about Cineversity service (I think there was some info weeks ago about non-active Cineversity, but now it´s gone)

You cann´t use tracer? tracer_clones.zip

You could switch for example hierarchies with visibility parameter (since Null has not option enable/disable) switch_object_0001.zip
