which texture?

Well! the texture create in 3DC! Of course :)
Another problem, the return in 3d Coat is impossible. 3d Coat  freezing
Are there any tutorials for the demonstration?

I meant which exactly texture (diffuse, secular, gloss.. ???)
When 3d coat freezes? Could you describe what you are doing step by step?

I'm currently writing a manual for applinks, so it's on the way

Hey, 

I can't get the current Applink to work in C4D R19 & 3DC 4.8 on Mac. Everything is linked correctly (pref folder for the Plugin and 3D-coat version in the linkfield). But the apps do not exchange anything. It only opens 3d-Coat but drops nothing in. The other way 3d-coat to cinema also doesn't send geo. I do not get any error Message in the Terminal or the C4D console.

What am I missing? Or is there a general problem with the versions I'm using. Thanks for developing those btw, hope to use it soon.

Has anyone been able to get this to work in R20 of Cinema 4D?

 

I've installed the plugin, and I can get an object from C4D to appear in 3DC. I just have to hit Apply to get it to place the object from the import.

But I'm not sure what to do to get an object from 3DC back to C4D. The [Import] button doesn't seem to do anything.

Thanks

havent tried with r20 yet, but i would really like this to have separate buttons for separate commands. So i could hit a button ( or a shortcut) for a command which sends to uv unwrap room for example. I don't want to open that dialogue and set it up each time. 

And have a different shortcut to send to voxel room for sculpting. etc...

Thanks for the post, I'm still not having any luck though.

I can export the model from C4D to 3DCoat ok, but can't get it to go back to C4D after modifications.

I have two options in the 3DCoat File menu: "BringVoxelsBackToApp" and "Export Voxel Mesh to" with the "Cinema" option. Neither one of those seem to do anything after the voxel reduction...no model shows up in C4D. I've tried setting the Exchange path, which I assume is where the obj is stored, but that's confusing too as it automatically creates a Cinema directory.

Do I export the voxel mesh to the cinema directory, or ?

Oh, sorry I was referring to UV workflow. I just tested voxel workflow with "BringVoxelsBackToApp" but that didn't work with the Import button. So I did "Export Voxel Mesh to Cinema" and that gave me an OBJ that I was able to import into C4D.
