C4D2Blender

Carpediego in Import & Export

Does it import lights or cameras?
Cameras are preserved and imported as native Blender cameras. Lights may be imported, but some properties may need adjustment.
Can I re-import the same scene multiple times?

Yes. The addon can clean the previous imported collection before importing the new one, so you don't end up with duplicates or clutter.

Does clicking “Import” freeze Blender or slow things down?

If your scene includes high-poly objects with Phong tags in Cinema 4D, Blender may mistakenly apply a Subdivision modifier on import, causing slowdowns or freezes.

To prevent this, remove Phong tags only from high-poly objects before exporting — this helps avoid unintended subdivision and keeps the import process smooth.

How do I check for updates?
The addon checks for updates automatically. You'll see update messages right in the console panel.
Why is the addon not applying modifiers or cleaning up materials?
Make sure your exported C4D scene includes proper mesh data and naming. All materials from Cinema4D must have a custom name to avoid problems.
Does the addon support skeletons or rigs (Armatures)

Not yet. Rigs from Cinema 4D may import broken or misplaced in Blender. We're working on it.

Does it import animations?
Currently, animation data is not fully supported. The focus is on static scenes and render preparation. Animation support may be added in a future update.
Will this overwrite my current scene?
No. The addon imports the scene into a new collection, preserving your current Blender project.
Are materials and textures preserved exactly?
The addon restores Blender-compatible materials and links them back to their original slots using object selection tags from C4D. However, some complex materials may need manual tweaking.
What happens if I have multiple FBX files in the folder?
The addon will automatically select the most recently exported scene in the folder you define. You can change this folder at any time.
Can I use this addon with other 3D software besides Cinema 4D?
You could only use the Blender addon, exporting from another program would have to be done manually in the destination folder and the Blender Addon Will detect it.
Does this addon work with any version of Blender or Cinema 4D?
The addon is compatible with Blender 3.0+ and Cinema 4D R21 or newer. For best results, export your scenes using FBX 7.4 Binary format.
