R17, Installed PlugIns wont Show
Hi everyone,
I desperately need to make a jigsaw puzzle animation, and want to use the cool free Nitro4D Magic Puzzle Plugin. But for the life of me, It wont install. Or at least, it wont show up in the plugins menu.
The Nitro4d website insists the plugins are R17 ready. According to instructions, you just unzip the folder, and place it in the MAXON/CINEMA 4D R17/plugins/ folder. Unfortunately its not so easy. Or am I doing something wrong, or missing something?
Thanks in advance

Just to go through the trouble shoot options, have you shut C4D down and opened it up again after copying the the Nitro folder into the plugins folder?

did the folder come with a licence key?
Sometimes you need to drop that into the Cinema 4d R(whatever) folder, and not the plugin folder.Nick Smith

Hi Nick, thanks for taking the time to help.

Here is the link. Ive used his plugins in previous versions, and they worked great.
There’s nothing special to install, as far as I know. Could you do me a favor, and see if they install in your R17? If you’re using R17, of course…
Thanks

HI Simon,
I’ve downloaded the file, and dropped it into my R17 Plugins folder, and it has shown up in the plugin’s option on mine.
However I did make a mistake initially, which you may have done also, which resulted in it not appearing.
When I dropped in it, I accidentally put it in the Exchange plugins folder, just not paying attention haha. Is it possible you may have done this also?Nick Smith

If its any help to anyone else, I had exactly the same problem. Couldn’t understand what was going wrong. Simply re-downloaded the plugin and dropped into the folder and everything worked fine.

I just purchased Arch-01 from here:
https://www.caleidos4d.it/plugin_arch-01.htmThe installation instructions are very simple: drop the entire folder into the plugins directory, but so far I haven’t been able to load it once C4D is running. It’s just not there. I’m running R17, which according to the website is supported.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
