Maxon Cinema 4D

The Anchorpoint plugin for Cinema 4D allows you to add a publish process to your workflow. A “publish” is usually a way of communicating that you have finished a certain task and that the asset has to move to the next step in the pipeline. This can be a review process or an export to another format.

Setting up the project

To use this workflow, you need to enable the “DCC Pipeline Tools” Action under “Workspace Settings / Actions”. Then you need to restart Anchorpoint to load the integrations.

Installing the Anchorpoint plugin for Cinema 4D

To install the Anchorpoint plugin, you have to add the Anchorpoint plugin folder in your Cinema 4D preferences. Do the following:

1. In Anchorpoint, click on “Workspace Settings / Integrations”

2. Look for “Cinema 4D and click on “Open Plugin”. This will show you the folder that you need to add to Cinema 4D.

3. In Cinema 4D, go to “Edit / Preferences / Plugins” and click on “Add Folder…”
