C4D R2025 support?

Workflow C4D
1

Dear D5 Team, is there a estimated time frame when the recent C4D version 2025 will be supported?

Atm it seems the d5 c4d export plugin installer only works up to c4d r2024.
Hope for an update tot he recent C4D verison soon:)

Thanks!

Hello~ indeed D5 Render has yet to release a plug-in supporting C4D 2025, we cannot really give you an exact time but for sure it will come sooner. Thank you so much for your understanding. :bowing_man:

there is no recent c4d plugin now for almost half a year, why - Can you explain the reason?
the problem is that C4D users cannot use their paid D5 subscription for 6 months now. please update the D5 connection plugin.

Hi there,

I just confirmed with our DCC Team that they are currently working on it and will be released as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding.

thanks for the answer!

I hope the new version can have support for exporting layers to be used for cool phasing animations in 2.9

please also support export of camera animation. this allows to use camera tracked cameras to be used with d5, something often used here and needed in archviz with c4d.

Hi there,

I apologize for the late reply. I will surely convey your suggestions and ideas to our team, thank you so much.

thanks!

i also found that many materials from my models come in white and not take the textures from my c4d scene. i use corona render as most use in c4d for archviz. i hope you can get better material support.

for objects it seems the c4d export plugin ignores instances set to render instance mode. this is common used in every c4d project. so many elements miss in my models often when exported. pls add proper support for all usual types of c4d objects, thanks!

Hi there,

Thanks for these information. Currently, we only support materials from:

  • Crown Material
  • Octane Material
  • Red Shift Material

We may be able to support more in future updates. Thank you for your understanding.

Hi,
with crwoen material i assume you mean Corona render. i know it is supported in therory, but whenwe test it 80% of the materials come in wrong(white) or very different.
So atm it isnt really possible to use a corona c4d scene.

maybe you not support the new pyhsical material which is there since Corona version 8, or the plugin doesnt work. also as said many instances are missing so only parts of the building come in. so Corona render isn t really supported yet in an usable way.

i hope the next plugin will fully work so we can use D5 on c4d finally.

for targeting architecture i would suggest also supporting V-Ray 6 and 7. Corona has more than 40% market share(and grwoing) in arch rendering and v-ray around 25%. Redshift and Octane only around 3% so only few people actually use the last 2 in our field.(more on vfx)
