Hello,

We have now updated CV-Toolbox to R25! You may need to redownload CV-Toolbox with the new update.

If you’re still experiencing issues. Please let us know what operating machine you are using, and if any errors appear in the console.

Best,
Michelle

Still not working for me with fresh toolbox download. Toolbox launches just fine, lists all the available tools, allows me to choose what I want to install, and initiate install. Seems to be installing stuff but then just reports that all installs have failed. (I’m on Windows 10)

Can y’all clarify in what C4D release you’re encountering issues?

Fresh standard install of R25. I’ve tried placing the CV plugin in both the installs plugins folder and prefs plugin.

Can you check the Console/Python tab and paste the last few lines?

looks like a permission error - is that a thing I’d need to fix? Or can the plugin be changed?

Here’s is everything from the python console:

I got it working here.

Put CV Toolbox in the prefs plugin folder, launch it, then manually set the install path the prefs>plugins folder. It seemed like it was set to some other location. Then it worked fine.

I can’t install any plugins because of this :

“This resource is available for Premium Cineversity members only.
Trial users do not have access to Premium resources.
If you have a coupon, please visit cineversity.com to redeem your coupon.”

OK works fine afer login to Maxon App

I was also having the same issue with Toolbox not letting me install most of the plugins because it was saying I’m not a premium user.

I quit C4D and open the Maxon App and logged in and restarted C4D again and then it worked. Strange but it worked

Update: My mistake. Had to be in the “plugins” folder, inside “preferences”.

Hi,

Trying to use CV-Toolbox in R25, but doesn’t seem to work.

Copied “CV-Toolbox_2_17.zip” to preferences folder, but when I open C4D doesn’t show anywhere.

Using Cinema4D in macOS Big Sur.

Any ideas how to make it work?

C4D R25.117 (Build 25_0.CL363640.28201)
M1 Max MacBook Pro

I’ve watched the install video a couple of times. I know the CV-Toolbox folder is (supposedly) in the correct place:

Library > Preferences > Maxon > Maxon Cinema4D R25_EBA43BEE > plugins > CV-Toolbox

Nothing ever appears upon relaunch of C4D.

Perhaps it is incompatibility with the M1 architecture? It should still run in Rosetta, as far as I know :/
