    Hello, i am far from new to 3d but am fairly new to C4D and have run into the same problem twice while doing tutorials online and am wondering if i need to do a re-install or if im just missing something.

    Both have been when the tutorials says to go to your “plugins” and grab the “sky” for one example…and the tutorial im doing now is using thinking particles and is telling me to get “TP particle geometry”. Well my problem is i cant find either of those anywhere…I would thing theyre talking about the “Plugins” drop down menu at the top but when i drop that down my only options are a blank “Execute Last Plugin”,
    and “User Scripts” that scrolls out to a “Save as Template”.

    So am i just not looking in the right place or do i need to move some folders around in my Applications?

    Both of those things are in the objects menu I believe.

    theyre not in mine. Im using C4D 11…there is a “sky” i know of but its not the same one that was used in the tutorial, but at the moment im more focused on finding the “TP particle geometry object”

    …heres a copy/paste of what im going by

    “Go into your Plugins and add a TP particle geometry Object and drag the sphere into this in object manager”

    Its green x looking icon.

    I think it was in plug ins till version 8.

    ok i just realized my menu bar was set to bodypaint 3d somehow and thats why i couldnt find it looking everywhere, so i switched to C4D and found it in the objects, thanks.
