Installing plugins..

[B-A-R]

Hi there, i recently tried to intall the morphmixer plugin for Cinema 4D XL 7.3
I downloaded the file (for windows), unzipped it and placed them into my plugins folder..

It doesn't work !!

Does annyone know how to install this (or any other) plugin ?? (i've had the same problem with dirtynuts..)

i'm using cinema with Windows XP...

p.s. It works fine on MacOS..(of course with the MacOS version of the plugin)

thanx

Yups...I thought it's a new system. Simply clock was out of order. This is the right position of the above post.:eek: :eek:

ok not aware of any problems...i run xp, and 7.3 and i got dirtyNUTs on it fine.

Need more info really:
Are you getting any error messages?
What are the error message youre getting?
Can you tell whether the messages XP related, or Cinema message?

What does your directory tree look like?
DriveLetter>Program Files (whatever)>
MAXON

Hopefully this held some sort of position above but you get the idea.
Are you just having problems with Cinema? or other software?
Usually the file structure will be retained when extracting, depending on the choice of extract?
Lemme know a bit more and i'm sure we can get you plugin and playin in know time.....

ok scratch the tree above..something like this...dunno it it helps but it may give you an idea. lemme know some more info as above.

OK, here some details...
i didn't get any error messages what so ever..
here's my directory structure, please note that i did not install maxon in the program files directory of XP !! (could that be the problem??)

d:\maxon\cinema4d\plugins\morphmixer

i also tried to put the files directly into the plugins directory..(didn't work either)..
It just seems that cinema doesn't read the directory although the standard plugins like cinema sdk, explosion effects etc. who are positioned in the same directory do work..


:D :D

Are you using winzip to extract the files? If you are, make sure you have the “Use folder names” box checked when the extract diaglog shows up. If you’ve done that, I have no idea what’s wrong. :shrug:

Ok....not really sure about this at first i thought morphmixer was something for r8....but this is definitely not the case....you do need the sdk installed by the sounds of it (this maybe just becuase originally it shipped with that though!)....and it sounds like you have that side of things working.

the directory structure looks fine there not likely to be relevant.
I did just try and download morphmixer off another site and couldn't open the archive so....bit confused by it all.
I have managed to get to get a copy of it now (MorphMixer1_0.zip) and i have extracted the file into the plugins directory which in turn created a folder called "MorphMixerFolder" with the "MorphMixer1.0" folder below that....i haven't got the sdk installed on my machine and i can see morphmixer in my plugins list from within cinema and it seems to start up fine.

All I can suggest is I email you the zip i got and give that a try, just remember to remove the old morphmixer directory first....and unzip into plugins directory. however you did mention earlier dirtynuts problems....so it maybe something else underlying.
if you want this file...just email me. hope this helps a little.
