Does the file include an ArtSmart object? Are you running ArtSmart in R12?

ArtSmart hasn’t been tested, isn’t supported nor do I think it will work properly in R12. The Python API was still very new in R12, and not really complete at that point.

CAN I KNOW IF ARTSMART WILL WORK ON C4D R12

No, ArtSmart will not work in C4D R12. It requires C4D R13 or greater. Also it requires Prime, Broadcast, Visualize or Studio - it will not work in the C4D Lite application bundled with Adobe After Effects CC.

Hello, i’m using C4D R14.042. windows 7 SP1 64 Bits
I’ve pasted CV-Artsmart V1.06 (the entire folder dowloaded @ cineversity.com) in Plugin directory.
When opening C4D, CV-Arstmart menu shows up with import and object options.
When doing CV-A import a window opens in order to pick a file (i’ve been trying with several version of .AI files) but then nothing happen except the error “CV-Artsmart v1.06 // http://www.cineversity.com..... (“Couldn’t get Art”; “file open error”)
if I give a try to CV-A object, same error shows up 10 times in row after browsing and chosing a file on my disk. With this option, an Artsmart object was cerated in object manager.

Could you please help me ? 2 .AI examples files are joined

Hmm. Your files open here with v1.06 (also Windows 7), and looking at the ai files themselves it doesn’t look like there’s any reason you should get that error. The Strawberry file imports just the stem because gradients aren’t supported, but the file definitely imports. I’m trying to think of anything that might be different and cause the error. What language (US English, German) is your Windows installation?

Tanks for the Quick Answer. My windows version Is in french

Hi,
Is there a way, in the artsmart object, to close splines?

My Ai files are importing into C4D all black.  The files look ok but no colors are present, they’re just black.  Create Materials just creates several black materials.  Some of my files import OK.  I cant figure out what the difference is in the files.  They’re all RGB colorspace.  Has anyone experienced this?

You’re sure the files are RGB and not Pantone? If you want to upload a sample file I can have a look.

I can open this file but I cant get the materials to play nicely. I open the file via art smart in C4D and extract. As soon as I do this all the colors appear as they are suppost to. Once I tell it to create materials, the colors go all wrong and it does not create all of them.

I did notice that not all my paths are in the layer tab either.

Im sure It is something I have done wrong with the illustrator file. I am a newbie in Illustrator.

Any feed back would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Dave,

Didn’t get the illustrator file. If you can attach it I’ll have a look.

I tried to attach the item but I got a message saying, attachments not accepted at this time.

Is there another way to send it to you?

Might need to zip it first.

Otherwise, you can submit it via the MAXON support form and they’ll get it to me.

Hi,

is there a chance to get the ArtSmart plug-in working with C4D Version R15? After putting files in plugin-folder it does’t even show up in C4D plug-ins-window. Pyhton code is not compatible with Cinema 4D R15. I would appriciate it, since this is a great plug-in that simplifys workflow.
Many thanks in advance
Greetz, Jens

Hi Jens,

ArtSmart 1.06 (the current version here on Cineversity) is working fine for me in R15.

Have you upgraded to 15.037?

Is there any error messages in the Console window?
