Plugin releases

Hi,
In this week i released the plugins new version.

The most important thing is the exporter format is changed. I implement a new feature (Separate by elements), that was why I needed it.

So you need update the importer plugin if you use the exporter. The full change-log is available here. They contains lot of bugfixes, and many improvements, so i recommend to use it.

And one more thing. In Cinema 4D R21 the plugin licensing was changed, because C4D licensing was changed.

Regards

Dinnye

Din3D importer for Cinema 4D

Din3D files are quickly and simply imported in MAXON Cinema 4D. There is a direct link to ArchiCAD. Replacement of changed model is also possible while all the material settings and other changes remain.

The objective of the development of this file format was that it could, as much as possible, provide the visualization programs with the information of the structure and hierarchy of ArchiCAD beside the 3D model. The model was complemented C4D, this information did not lose in the upgrade. Very fast plugin.

Note: Not compatible with AC4D and AC4D+ formats.
Din3D Connection

Features

Selective importing The following ArchiCAD’s content can be imported:
  • 3D model
  • Lights
  • Cameras
  • Materials
  • Textures
Usage of different filter levels You can use these filters, either individually or in combination.
  • Stories
  • Classes (wall, ceiling, etc….)
  • Layers
  • Elements
  • Materials
  • Import ArchiCAD objects as single objects.
  • In addition, it is possible to import ArchiCAD objects as ‘Instances’.
Polygon optimization.
  • The importer can be used the built-in Cinema 4D optimizations (currently)
Others
  • Unicode support: different language characters can be received correctly from ArchiCAD.
  • Fast model update
  • The importer saves the complete import settings.
  • Useful Tags in update method
  • A few useful commands that make it easier for small daily use.
    • Sort by Name
    • Remove Empty ‘Null Objects’

Download

Actual Version: 2.60
(2023-09-23 Changelog)

Download and try Din3D importer plugin for Cinema 4D.
In Demo version you can import 10 times, but model update is not possible. Din3D is available now for 39 Euros in webshop.

Remember that the importer plugin itself is good for nothing. To use it, you’ll need the exporter as well. The Din3D exporter for ArchiCAD is available free of charge.
