Cinema 4d lite suddely stopped supporting imported models

I've put more than 100 hours in creating environments with imported models. All of the sudden all of my imported models disappeared. I also created a model of a table in C4d lite with some slightly beveled cubes as legs. Those also went away. I'm ready to junk After Effects and just use Blender.

Mea Culpa.
This was operator error. The "Axis Bands" filter got unchecked somehow (Not intentionally -- I don't even know what it does). I turned on all of the filters and the models came back. I checked and unchecked filters until I found the 1.

Does Cinema 4D Lite support importing FBX files?

I've tried every FBX file I could, I've exported FBX files using every version of FBX available to me (2010, 2012, 2013, 2014) but every time I try to import an FBX file into Cinema 4D Lite (launched from AE CC, everything updated and current) I get a dialog with some options, then a second dialog with information about the available takes and animation length (which is must get from the file) and then I get an error message "Unable to read file <filename>". Doesn't seem to matter what FBX I choose. Every FBX file is readable by Autodesk's FBX Review app so I don't think it's the file(s). Maxon's website seems to indicate that importing FBX was supported by the Lite version of Cinema 4D included with AE CC, but near as I can tell that's not true. Am I missing something? Is there some option I need to check or a specific way I should create an FBX file? I'm running on Windows 7 64bit with current drivers and everything is updated. I get the feeling this just doesn't work at all by design.

I've tried FBX files created from Motionbuilder 7, DAZ Studio, Lightwave 11.6 and some purchased FBX files (that I think were made in 3DS Max). If the FBX file has anything complex Cinema 4D Lite will give the cryptic read error. It definitely seems to come down to what is in the file. If I put almost nothing into the file (simple textured obj) I have gotten it to read into Cinema 4D. But some even fairly simple primitives will cause the error. It's not so much the version of FBX file format but what is in it. Having the ability to use FBX as a 3D file format in After Effects is very appealing, but Cinema 4D Lite doesn't appear to be a solution to that. Perhaps the full version of Cinema 4D can read a wider range of FBX files, since the read error is definitely related to the content and not just the FBX version, but the Lite version errors out on pretty much anything worth reading.

AI CC: Import *.AI to Cinema 4D Lite?

Hey guys, have an Illustrator document that I would like to import to Cinema 4D Lite. Launched After Effects and opened a C4D project, dragging the .AI file and C4D says 'Unknown File Format'. What file format should Illustrator Documents be saved to to import into C4D?

And: what's in your file? Just basic paths?
Monika I watched that very tutorial before I posted. Tried EPS Rev 3, EPS Rev 8, EPS Rev 17. Document is a single layer Video and Film resolution with a no Fill Stroke pattern.

Photos/Fotos: One of the most important selection features the is "Star" rating. How on earth can you stop supporting this feature ???

One of the most important selection features the is "Star" rating.
How on earth can Apple stop supporting this feature ???
My iPhoto lib contains >100´000 photos. All of them are rated with stars. Dependent on the rating I distribute the photos on >20 apple devices in our family.
Many friends of mine do the same.
It´s time for a severe request to Apple to take over that feature from iPhoto to Photos. They should start to learn, that people that liked their previously released software have spent hundreds of hours to adapt their data with that software to their needs. I´m using Mac´s since 1984. Might be that I start thinking about using different systems if they continue to through away my efforts from the past...
If you dislike Apples latest moves and like this feature too you need to provide feedback to them on the following web page: www.apple.com/feedback

Remember that star ratings are not part of standard metadata.

Cinema 4d Lite not recognizing mouse clicks?

Hello everyone. I've been working on a project in After Effects CC and was reading about the integration of Maxon Cinema 4d Lite. I wanted to try to make my 2D diamond into a 3D model and it seemed the perfect application to do so. Unfortunately, whenever I open the program (I've tried through File - New - Maxon Cinema File...and Layer - New - Maxon Cinema File... and even once a file is technically created, I've tried going to "edit original". I've also tried to export something else as a Maxon Cinema file and then importing it to see if it would work), it doesn't work.
Basically, since try #1 the program doesn't seem to be recognizing my mouse clicks. As soon as I click on a menu it goes away. I can hold down the mouse button, but then I can't choose anything on the menu. I've done all the updates on all software, restarted, shut down, cleaned cache, etc. etc. There was one thing that worked, but it only worked for a mouse click at a time! I found that if I found the application file within my program files (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC\Support Files\Plug-ins\MAXON CINEWARE AE\(CINEWARE Support)\lite)....if I have Cinema 4d open, and I double click on the .exe file like I'm trying to launch the program, then the program will recognize one mouse click. But if I try to do anything else, it doesn't respond. I could do this all day and night to get my project done but there's GOT to be an easier way!
If anyone has any suggestions, I would gladly give them a try!
Oh, and I'm on a Windows 8.1 64bit computer. If there are any details I didn't include that would be helpful, please let me know. Thank you!

Thank you Mylenium. I wasn't sure what details to provide, but I'll do my best to cover everything you asked about.
As far as the computer, my PC is running Windows 8.1 Pro (64-bit). The hardware is as follows:
     Processor: AMD FX8120 (8-core, 3.10GHz)
     Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX550 Ti
     Input Device: Wacom Intuos3 Tablet (using provided mouse, not pen while using C4D)
     Memory: 16 GB usable (have 32 installed but haven't spent the time to figure out how to get it all to work with Windows 8)
     Screen Resolution: on Monitor #1 (HDMI) and Monitor #2 (Analog) it is set to the recommended 1920 x 1080
I managed to be able to get in to the Preferences within C4d somehow and these are the things I thought might be pertinent:
     OpenGL settings: it IS turned ON (Linear, Anti-Alias = 4, Max transparency = 2, Max Lights = 8, Max Shadows = 2, and Use Shader Cache is checked)
     Memory settings: the cache is defaulted to the C drive. I set my cache in AE to the B drive, which I would prefer but I C4d won't let me change this at the moment)
     Input Devices: PSR Cursor = False, Tool Cursor = true, Mouse Move Activation = True, Graphics Tablet = False, Hi-Res Tablet = True, Open Commander Dialog on Mouse Position = True
I'm thinking the fact that the Graphics tablet is unchecked in C4d might be the issue? I can try to change it with the trick I originally mentioned, but let me know if there is anything else you see that you think might help. Did I miss anything? I really appreciate it! Thank you.

Extrude in Cinema 4D lite?

Hello!
Very excited to be using Cinema 4D Lite and I'm very imprssed with what you get out of the box.
I looked at the side by side table for all the cinema 4d versions and the table says C4D Lite DOES support extruding, but every time I try to extrude a face the quick keys don't work, the menus that a tutorial shows aren't there. Can someone please clarify if I can do this basic modeling task in lite?
Thank you!

Agreed - Blender is awesome. Looks like this is the best option for users that don't have the full version of C4d. I've been really liking the integration of the two (C4d and AE) and I do realize that it's a stripped down version of studio, but why take out extrude? Even now while typing this I find it odd that they'd give you the option to modify polygons, but eliminate the ability to extrude one. Guess we're limited to simple shapes. Blender does have it's minor quirks but, for modeling, I find it much more intuitive than Cinema.

I tried to download picture/video files from iPhone 5S to MacBook Pro but it won't stop importing and I don't have phone connected. I need to shut down the computer and I can't stop the import from spinning

I tried to import picture/video files from iPhone 5S to MacBook Pro Aperature. It appeared to be trying to download every picture I have ever taken even tho I checked do not import duplicates. The phone is not connected to lap top. It has been spinning for 1/2 day. I can't stop it. I can't shut down the computer. How do I stop the import and shut computer down.

Is Cinema 4D Lite R14 limited to 800 x 600 render resolution even after activation/registration?

I created a new Cinema 4D scene from within After Effects and discovered that I couldn't make the output resolution larger than 800 x 600. In the rende settings window I get the message:
"Image Resolution: 800 x 600 Pixel - Application license limit of 800x600 pixel"
I realized I hadn't activated/registered yet, so I completed that process but I still get the limitation.
I tried:
Closing C4D and AE, restarting, opening the original .c4d I created before I registered;
Restarting the computer, then reopening the original .c4d in After Effects;
Deleting the original .c4d and creating a new one from After Effects
I still get the output resolution limitation.
I searched for documentation about the limit but didn't find any that referred to C4D Lite, only other demo versions (which had a smaller limit).
Is that a hard limit for C4D Lite R14? Or should I keep banging my head against it?
I tried contacting Maxon from the support email form on their site, but it rejects my serial number (the form asks for the first 11 digits, which includes a hyphen. I tried with the hyphen and it was rejected, I removed the hyphen and aded the next digit to total 11 and it rejected it... it
's like they don't want to hear from me. There's also no selection for the "Lite" version of the program.)
Intel i7 4770K, Asus Maximus VI Formula mobo, 32GB RAM, Asus GTX780Ti video card (nVidia), Windows 8.1, After Effects CC 2014, Cinema 4D Lite R14.
Thanks

You can't render larger from C4D Lite, but your AE comp (with the C4D scene) should be able to be whatever size you want. AE renders your C4D scene; you don't render from C4D.

Cinema 4d Lite crashes in AE CC, Windows

Whenever I try to use Cinema 4d Lite, I can get to the application, but cannot make any changes without crashing. I have tried either creating a file using File>New>Maxon Cinema 4d file, or creating a 3d comp in AE, exporting to Cinema 4d Lite, importing it, and going to Edit>Edit original. For example, when I create a new Cinema 4d file, if I try to create a rectangle, I see the rectangle appear, but then the application is frozen (spinning teal circle forever). If I try to edit original file, the Cinema 4d application opens, but it is frozen.
I am on Windows 7 Professional, on an HP Z800 Workstation with 40 GB RAM, 64 bit Operating System. NVIDIA Quadro 4000 graphics card.

Thanks for your answer. However, I checked my Open GL capabilities and got this readout:It looks like Open GL should be working.

After effects CC ne veut pas lancer cinema 4D lite, j'obtiens ce message d'erreur "Aucune installation de cinema 4D n'a été trouvée"

Bonjour,
After effects CC ne veut pas lancer cinema 4D lite, j'obtiens ce message d'erreur "Aucune installation de cinema 4D n'a été trouvée"
Dans les options les chemins des fichiers exe sont pourtant les bons.
Que faire ?
Merci !
Guillaume

Hello
I have the 13.2.0.49 version after effects CC 2014.
The exe path are correct in the preferences.
And I'lm working with Windows 7 SP1
I have done a 3D form layer and exported it as a maxon cinema 4D module (.c4d)
Then I import the c4d file in my composition. All is okay.
But when I try to modify it with cinema 4D, it does'nt work. (I use the edit menu and do "modify original")
I've got this message : "Aucune installation de cinema 4D n'a été trouvée" (no install of cinema 4D found)
I have verified the exe path, they are both correct in the preferences.
Do you have an idea ?
Thank you !

MS 2.1 'Does not support importing files containing tempo changes' message

OK, so I've just loaded up the 2.1 upgrade and opened up a couple of existing concerts, and I get the following message:
+File contains tempo changes+
+One or more of the files you are importing contains tempo change markers. This version of mainstage does not support importing files with tempo changes.+
It's a bit of a problem as the dialogue box appears several times during loading, and I have to click 'OK' every time, which adds to the length of time it takes to load up the concert (something I do several times during the course of my set).
I'm not using any MIDI stuff, just acoustic and electric guitar plus vocal channel strips and playback channels.
I've tried out some of my backing tracks, which have a ralletando at the back end, and they still seem to slow down properly (which isn't surprising, as they are audio files), and I've also tried setting all the sets back to the concert tempo, which hasn't stopped the issue occurring.
Any thoughts, anyone?

Hi Blueberry
Well, if you mean I put a tempo curve at the end of some of my audio files in Logic, in order to slow down at the end of the song, then, yes, I did do that. However, that still works in MS2.1, and anyway, why would that no longer be allowed, as that is an essential musical function. Also, if the upgrade meant I had to re-do the exporting nearly 200 backing tracks, them I'm afraid it would be back to 2.01 for me.
Furthermore, I tried starting MS up in 32 bit, and that didn't make any difference either.
As it is, this problem is (so far) only an inconvenience as it takes longer for me to load a new concert. What I'd like to understand is what does it refer to? and how can I prevent it showing this message?
Thanks

Cinema 4D Lite - plug ins for?

Are there any plug-ins for Cinema 4D Lite on CC?
I see on Grayscalegorilla they do lots of cool plug-ins, but they are pretty much too powerful for this version, are there ANY decent plug-ins available to purchase for Lite?
Thanks,
Simon.

Okay, the City Kit perhaps, but don't get anyone started on their "shiny plastic" material presets or their Transform plug-in... anyway, it's a moot point. C4D Lite does not support any third party plug-ins because Maxon is blocking this stuff at the core. The want to sell full licenses, after all, you know...

Want to create glass material in Cinema 4D Lite

Hi guys!
I need your help, I am trying to create a glass material in cinema 4D Lite to import into After Effects. Lite version is limited on materials, maybe you guys have a tip or trick for this?
Thank you for your help.

The basic materials are no different from the ones in the "big" C4D. Only some textures and the special 3D materials are missing. Even if they were part of the package, they would not be relevant here. So for the most part it therefore becomes a question of what you have tried so far. have you actually simply played with the transparency options? Downloaded a preset/ sample scene from somewhere? Read up on the matter?

I have Photoshop Elements 12 for both PC and Mac (I use both). I have a new camera, Nikon D810. I downloaded the latest version of Camera Raw, 8.8. My D810 is listed as a supported camera model. However, when I try to open a raw photo in Photoshop Element

I have Photoshop Elements 12 for both PC and Mac (I use both). I have a new camera, Nikon D810. I downloaded the latest version of Camera Raw, 8.8. My D810 is listed as a supported camera model. However, when I try to open a raw photo in Photoshop Elements, I keep getting the message "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw. I have tried reinstalling Camera Raw many times, and have tried to open many different raw files in Elements, and still get the same error message. Please help.

How did you try to install ACR 8.8. The only way I know of that works with Elements is to use the Updates Choice on the Help menu.
There are two charts supplied by Adobe that explain your RAW dilemma. This one tells you what your camera needs: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html This one tells you what version of software you need: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
In your case, the Nikon D810 needs Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 8.6 or Lightroom 5.6. (Congratulations on buying a new camera!)
To get to that level with Photoshop Elements, you will need to replace your Photoshop Elements 12 with version 13. Adobe caps ACR updates on version 12 at 8.5.
The most convenient way to get around it without spending any money is to use the FREE from Adobe DNG Converter. Download and install it from here for FREE: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5855&fileID=5890 Once it is installed you can convert your D810 raw files to an Adobe RAW version with the .DNG file extension that most, if not all, versions of the various Adobe software programs can use. That includes old versions of Photoshop, Elements and Lightroom. DNG converter can be used as the tool to move your files from your memory card to your computer, is efficient, will convert in batches and is completely lossless. There is no risk of any image quality degradation or RAW functionality.
