How hard would it be to write a plugin similar to XB11 for C4D? The guys at Seeger Graphics have had this plugin around since 1998 that allows you to control aspects of Cinema 4d via a MIDI fader box. In six years, they’ve only come out with one major update, and XB11 still won’t run on a mac. According to their website, the current version suffers from a major bug that will crash C4D (!?) if you don’t close the plugin before you save your scene. It seems to me that our community could do much better. Maybe I’m just being naive, and I’ll be the first person to admit that I know nothing about programming, but how hard would it be to make an Xpresso node that recieves MIDI data from a fader box and provides outputs for each controller?
This thread originated in the C4D forum, but nobody there seems to have any answers. I’ve moved it here at the suggestion of others.
