Can´t Import Cinema4d R18 Scenes?

Unity Engine

Hi,

I tried to import my c4d r18 scene but had an error:

ImportFBX Errors:
Couldn’t read file /…/Temp/ExportedC4DFBXFile.fbx.
Unexpected file type

Is R18 not supported, yet?
Imported the scene into R17, exported again and that worked.

Thank you.

I have the same problem with the same error. Unity 5.6, Cinema 4d R18.

When I imported the c4d file Unity directed me to install the c4d plug-in, which it downloaded and tried to install, but ran into an error - stating it could not find the MAXON plug-in folder (which was false).

There seems to be a lack of customer service on this topic.

I just posted the solution to the importing problem over at Support for Cinema 4D R18? - Unity Engine - Unity Discussions

Regarding the write error, i copied their source folder, opened it up in Finder/Explorer and copied the file by hand. In 2017.1 it’s just one .pyp file instead of the usual folder they had for the past versions.

Hope this helps, cheers!

Hi spaceemotion,

Thanks for your post. I followed your instructions and copied Unity-C4DToFBXConverter.pyp into the CINEMA 4D R13 > plugins folder. But i keep getting this error:

Cinema 4D couldn’t convert the .C4D file to an fbx file. Try exporting the .C4D file to an fbx file manually.

What version of Cinema 4D are you using?

Thanks!
