    I just installed the demo version (I put it in Preferences>Maxon>Cinema 4D R18>Plugins) and it seems to work fine importing an obj file. When you say “it doesn’t work,” do you mean the installation doesn’t work? Or you can’t find the plugin after installation? Or the plugin won’t import or export files?

    In rereading the title of your post I’m guessing that “I can’t see them” means you can’t find them. Because Riptide Pro is a set of multiple import and export plugins the folder will appear at the top of your Plugins menu and not in the long (if you have a lot of plugins) list of individual plugins below that. It can be easy to overlook those at the top when you are expecting to find them alphabetically below.

    To see if it installed correctly, in the main C4D menu go to Help>Personalize and see if it appears in the Registration menu along with its serial number and “OK” next to it.

    Also, do a search (Shift-C) and enter .obj and see if the Riptide Pro obj import and export plugins come up. If they do it would mean that you are probably overlooking them in the Plugins menu.
