Does cinema 4d lite work without cinema 4d

If I get the Creative Cloud subscription, because I only have CS.6 right now, does Cinema 4d Lite work in After Effects without the whole Cinema 4d program?

Cinema 4D Lite is a full application and does not rely on previously installed Cinema 4D applications.

Hi stockd,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
iTunes Match requires an internet connection, as mentioned in this article about how to subscribe:
If at any time during the matching and uploading process you lose your Internet connection or experience a power outage, iTunes will automatically resume where it left off the next time you open iTunes.

So how does Target Disk Mode work without a FireWire port?

Does it work with USB 2.0?

FireWire-less Macs isn't new, unfortunately. The MacBook Air (still in production) and the unibody MacBook (EoL) were released without FireWire. Apple has allowed for wireless, wired and even remote disc to assist with the day-to-day needs of migration assistant, file sharing and data transfers. Yes, TDM makes this process much easier, especially if there's a problem with the drive. But for the average user, who doesn't use FireWire's TDM feature, you're not completely dead in the water.

Does the Time Capsule work without LAN

Ok so I'm looking at buying a Time Capsule, not sure which generation but it has 1Tb of storage, becuase the macbook air only has like 60GB SSD, and i'm wondering whether it all just works over WiFi, and i don't mean does it back up over WiFi I mean does it need to be connected to a router with a LAN just to enable it's WiFi backup?
Thanks for any answers!

You can backup using Wi-Fi only, but it is a good idea to use an Ethernet connection for your first backup....since everythng on your Mac will be copied over.
It will probaby go 4-5 times faster using an Ethernet connection.
Once the first backup is done, you can switch to wireless since Time Machine will only be backing up the changes to your Mac since the last backup. These "incremental" backups should only take a few moments on each backup.

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.

Cinema 4d Lite Does Not Load

Hi,
I can't seem to get Cinema 4d Lite to start. Has anyone had this issue? I click the app. It then appears in my dock then disappears after a few moments.
I am on a mac running os x 10.8.4 and have an nvidia 9400M gpu.
Any help is appreciated.

Never mind. In After effects I need to go to File->Maxon Cinema Maxon Cinema 4d File.
I was using my mac's Finder to launch the cinema 4d lite app. That's the wrong way.

Cinema 4d Lite Text Disappearing

Hi,
All of a sudden my text in Cinema 4D Lite is disappearing. I enter text, make the text a child of the extrude object then place the extrude object with text child into the Fracture Object. Once in the Fracture object the text disappears. I still have the directional arrows for the text, but no text. This has worked on several other text animations I have made, but now will not work.
Anyone have any ideas on what is going wrong?
Thanks,
George

Perhaps something to do with the font and the Fracture object not being able to produce clean internal mesh separations. Impossible to know without more info and screenshots of your scene and settings.

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.

Cinema 4d Lite won't open on Mac

Anyone else having this issue? From After Effects CC. It's never started up, and closes as soon as I try to open it.

I'm also having this same issue. It has never launched for me either and I started trying about 2 months ago and have been updating regularly and checking to see if a fix was applied but it still fails to launch.
What version of After Effects? Include the minor version number (e.g., After Effects CS5.5 with the 10.5.1 update). Don't just say "After Effects with the latest updates"; give the specific version number. 12.0.0404
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.) Yes
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac". 10.8.4
Tell us about your computer hardware. Include CPU type and number of processor cores, amount of RAM installed, GPU, number of disk drives, and how any external drives are connected. Macbook Retina, 2.8 GHz i7, 16GB 1600MHz DDR3, 500GB SATA HDD, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
Do you have any third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU)? No
What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime". N/A
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?N/A
What were you doing when the problem occurred? Trying to launch the program, with all other programs closed. Also tried w/ AE running.
Has this ever worked before? If this worked before by doesn't work now, what has changed on your computer in the intervening time? No
Do you have QuickTime installed. (You should.) If so, what version? The answer should be specific, such as "QuickTime 7.6.2". Quicktime Player 10.2
What other software are you running? None
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed? No
Are you using OpenGL features in After Effects? N/A
Does the problem only happen with your final output, RAM preview, or both? N/A
Are you using Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing? N/A
What is the exact sequence of steps that you are taking? Open Finder, Select "Applications", Drill down through AE folder to Cinema 4D Lite application and doubleclick. Icon pops/bounces on task bar for a moment then goes away.

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 !
Guillaume

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.

Does anyone have two 24" LED Cinema Displays on their Mac Pro?

I'm wondering if there are any other Mac Pro users out there with two 24" LED Cinema Displays? If so, are you able to adjust the brightness of both displays? For me, no matter which brightness slider I adjust in System Preferences, only the brightness of one of the displays is adjusted.
I originally created a thread last September:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2160532
If you have this problem too, please report it to <http://bugreporter.apple.com/>. My original Radar bug was #7222745, and it was found to be a duplicate of #6828443. Based on the IDs, I'd say this has been a known issue for at least a year.
Thanks,

I am using logitech G19 mouse and Naga Razer Epic, my current suspect that is their official driver which make my OS X 64bit kernl go nut. Does Logitech Control Center work for later version of their products such as G19?
If I plggued in the G19 without installing their official gamepanel software, The heyboard still work, volume control slider works like a charm. I just get no advantages from the LCD screen (kind of pointless).
If I install the razer mac driver, I keep seeing error log in console for the kzcorengineand razercorenginer process.
Idid clean install of Mac OS X and have not experienced freeze except once when I was plugging in my 500gb transcend external drive. This Ext. Drive require two usb slot for power and transfer data.
I am not sure if the freeze was coincidental or related to the transcend external drive I used. I did a directory permission repair and a repair to the mac drive, how things seems to stabilised.
However I want to take my test further to install office 2011 to see if it cause those random unpredictable freeze again.
Sigh, I paid $200 for such a good keyboard, but they have bad apple support. I dont like the apply ketyboard and magic mouse. It's immpossible to touch type on and even harder to play any game at all.
Wayne, when you use your logitech product, do you install the product specific driver for each product plus LCC? or you just install LCC.
Thank you

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.

Rendering Error from Cinema 4d Lite

While trying to render a scene in after effects that i created in cinema 4d of a bar (bear in mind, bars have lots of transparent glass and liquids in them) i get the 'unable to write file' render error. in cinema 4d lite, in my render settings, when i turn off transparency, refraction, reflection, and shadows, the render works. what should i do in order to render in after effects and keep all of my transparency, refraction, reflection, and shadow detail?

REnder to an image sequence. Your Quicktime connection is simply timing out because it takes too long to render a frame. No serious 3D artist would ever render to clip formats directly, anyway.

I didn't get Cinema 4D lite with my AE CC

Hello,
When i got Adobe CC a month ago and installed AE CC i didn't get Cinema 4D lite with it. I Have Cineware but when i click on Cineware it just tells me that there's no cinema 4d lite program to open. I was wondering if anyone else had the problem. And also if any of you guys got a solution. I might have missed something or something.
I have a Lenovo e540 windows 8.1, 8gb ram, i7-4702MQ 2,2 GHz
Adobe CC is also saying that the software is updated.
Also i'm from Sweden and i'm also a student who registered as a student. Does that have to do with anything maybe?
All help is appreciated.
Happy new year!

Taverino, thanks, that was it! I think my problem was that i expected to be able to use cinema 4d lite with out going through after effects. But thanks! I got it to open. I should have read a bit more about it, before hand.
