  • R20 won’t open old files

    Posted by David Cabestany on September 24, 2019 at 4:29 pm

    I downloaded an old file from Turbosquid and when I try to open it I get a message that says the file is too old and can’t be opened. I searched online and found a scene updater plug in from Maxon but it needs to have an older version installed in order to work.

    Is there an alternative to this? I only have R20 installed in my machine and nothing seems to work.

    Thanks in advance,
    D.

    Thanks, Allan,
    It was made on R11.5 I think. I ended up using a different file of a similar object.

    I appreciate your help, anyway.

    Best,
    D.

    Wasn’t there a C4D matrix export for the whole file? I’ve never used it but your question twigged a memory.
