  • Where to install third party Plugins/Generators/Object files on a Mac?

    Posted by Maha Mohtaseb on June 26, 2012 at 4:17 am

    Hi,
    I’m new to C4D, and I can’t find any info about where to install plugins, generators, or 3d objects? I’m a Mac user; what folder do I copy/paste to? Also, if the third party plugin folder contains textures, etc, is everything placed in the same folder, or do I need to place different file types in different locations?

    I know there’s different types of plugins, so I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me what are the different types and where each should be copied & pasted to in a Mac? Thanks in advance!

    plugins almost always have a read me file which has instructions for installation but that’s almost always to put it in the Plugin folder. Not many have textures but the few I’ve seen keep the textures with them. 3D objects you can put anywhere you want unless you mean something else than I’m thinking
