Maybe there are some changes in MSA of these days, but from what I know (and there was here for a long years), second installation was allowed only for MSA users. Maybe Srek, Hrvoje or Rick can this clarify more...

You´re not allowed to install on 2 computers in case you have not MSA. (if remember correctly and nothing changed) With just single licence without MSA you are allowed to install only on single one computer. (or if you want to use single licence on more computers, you can install on USB flashdisc and use it on more computers with attached this UBS disc (not copied/installed on every used computer)) Except of this benefit of MSA (installations on 2 computers (but not used concurrently)) has MSA few more (Cineversity access for a year and lower upgrade price for new version)

Plugin is still available and also ported to R20, but with updated functions is renamed to "InstanceMan" (links for R20 and older in this forum thread (first post on the bottom) on c4dnetwork.com (maybe the greatest deutschland c4d community)) https://c4dnetwork.com/board/threads/89605-InstanceMan?highlight=instance+vault

...about Forester... Not sure, but I think Forester licence is locked to hardware (mac address of PC), so not sure if posible to sell it

TDMSC? TD stands for technical directing or technical development. MSC is Master section Class

Yes, Takes are really powerful with this kind if workflow.

Happy New Year to all amazing people here on C4DCafe and all over the world. Enjoy 2019 Greetings from Slovakia

Ahhh, I was ment gravel under the cars is multiinstanced... ;-)

If you need sticked to ball, use simple parent null. If ball need to be without rotation, simply drag cloner object out of rotator hierarchy (make it child of Null.1) https://www.dropbox.com/s/265pqkgars10ndx/dynamicsplinewrap_0002.zip?dl=0

Do you mean something similar? https://www.dropbox.com/s/xikd9s9oex0thq6/dynamicsplinewrap_0001.zip?dl=0

The best way, when you looking for serial number of your current version of C4D is going to Help/Personalize and in Registration tab with rightclick select "Copy Text"

Simply follow step by step from tutorial about installation you´ve got together with plugin in your email...

It was just idea to restrict object/tool parameters to color "code" :) For user with adjusted 25 objects/tools in Diag could be hard to memorize all presets. And just "class" color could determine action of this preset without opening tool. But as you said, if user could adjust color as he wish, it´s only up to him...

Would be nice to restrict colors, for example red color for negative values/Off/disable , green for positive values/On/Enable and blue (and all other if more) for other parameters.

If you´re on MSA (or was in the past), there is a plugin CV_Splines (currently in version 3) which contain also outline generator (negative/positive) https://www.cineversity.com/vidplaytut/cv-splines_to_objects_interactively_offset_and_chamfer_objects

...nice updates Daniel, plugin became more powerful with these improvements

Yes, Lazaros´s plugin NitroCycle is like Polycircle on steroids :) (I gave Lazaros couple of ideas and there was updated to plugin within few hours. It´s simply crazy how simple programming of plugins looks to be! ;-D)

You could try Foundry Marketplace, it´s more known and wider then here, https://community.foundry.com/discuss/forum/42/marketplace btw, how did you found combo C4D and Keyshot? Or did you used them separately in different workflows?

Currently nowhere. Because plugin creator (Hashimoto) decide to make it commercial instead of free. Now it´s one of few tools in plugin pack named "ToolsPack" for a small price 5000 JPY. All plugins was ported to R20, but I think there is a backward compatibility (or ask directly plugin creator) http://coffeestock.boo.jp/Blog/?page_id=2620

nice examples @jed

...repeating the same task will teach you optimize your workflow, find faster ways to create something. If someone want to know how create character rig, then his first steps must be create very simple animations, understanding principles in basic things (which could be done in few moments instead of days), study the theory, tutorials and works of others and take the best things of all of them. If someone want to learn c4d with zero experiences in DCC, starting with advanced character rigging, it is very bad start. (just my opinion) ...but back to prices :) Yes, as Nigel said, price for Studio is high. High for hobby users, not for "commercial" users, those are different category. Can not say if modular system was wrong in business system, but for hobbiests was great. One posible way could be system "rent-to-own" (perpetual licence ofcourse)

Just for education is demo version more than enough I think. If someone want to learn software (and later use it on commercial base), MAXON Cinema4D demo has big benefit with demo - is not time-limited. For learning software enabling "Save" is not important if everything other works and user could "touch" every command and tool....

Hi and welcome Anafree, Feel free to post your works/tests here, it will inspire other users for sharing their works maybe...
