Din3D exporter for ArchiCAD

Plugin releases

Dinnye Leave a comment

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 exporter for ArchiCAD

If you use ArchiCAD and would like to render in a professional visualization program. Use Din3D format for exporting ArchiCAD model and the similar ArchiCAD model structure is available for you in the rendering programs. With the help of the exporter you can further edit the ArchiCAD model anytime in Cinema 4D and 3ds Max. The planning process can be continued in ArchiCAD. If the model has changed a few clicks and the update is possible within the model visualisation programs while all previous settings remain unchanged. (Material definitions, light settings, etc..) Note: Not compatible with AC4D and AC4D+ formats.

Din3D exporter for ArchiCAD changelog

I’m going to assume the main changes I’ve made on plugins. So that the connections in the export and the import plugin could be followed, I listed them aside each other. I tried to pay much attention on the compatibility, but please use the latest version to avoid problems.
