FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• What versions of Cinema 4D does Mesh To Spline work on?
  • Mesh To Spline works with Cinema 4D R20 and above.
  • Mesh To Spline is compatible with Mac & PC.
• How many computers can I install Mesh To Spline on?
  • One license of Mesh To Spline entitles you to one install on a tower and one on a laptop. Looking for a group License? Contact us.
• I’ve correctly installed Mesh To Spline but it’s not showing up in my Extention/Plugin Dropdown.
  • The most likely cause is your C4D is not fully up-to-date. Newer compiles of C4D often break older plugins. Update your C4D, and Mesh To Spline will likely pop into the Extention/Plugin dropdown right after.
• Does Mesh To Spline work with other plugins? X-Particles? Octane? Redshift? Arnold? Etc?
  • Yes! It generates a spline, so as long as another plugin can see a spline, it should see Mesh To Spline.
  • 3rd party renders see splines differently from each other. Often times they require a tag applied onto the spline to have it be seen by the render engine.
• What happens if I send a file to someone who doesn’t have Mesh To Spline?
  • C4D will pop up a warning that there is a missing plugin, and the Mesh To Spline objects in the Object Manager will show as question marks. If a scene file is saved on a machine that doesn’t have Mesh To Spline, but the question marks, once it is returned to a machine that has Mesh To Spline installed it will automatically work again (assuming the Mesh To Splines weren’t deleted by the user).
  • A Mesh To Spline can be made editable if it is not animated, then the resulting spline could be sent. Otherwise baking to Alembic will be necessary.
• Can I send a file with Mesh To Spline to render farm?
  • The render farm will require Mesh To Spline to be installed. If a 3rd party farm does not have Mesh To Spline, have the vendor contact Rocket Lasso.
  • If all else fails, a Mesh To Spline spline can be baked out to Alembic for maximum compatibility.
• Why isn’t Mesh To Spline showing up in my R23?
  • Maxon changed some things in an R23 update, so make sure your R23 is fully updated to Service Pack 1. Mesh To Spline is compatible with the most up-to-date version of C4D.
