Installing Mac & PC

What versions of Cinema 4D does Ricochet work on?

Ricochet works with Cinema 4D R20 and above.

Ricochet is compatible with Mac & PC.

How many computers can I install Ricochet on?

One license of Ricochet entitles you to one install on a tower and one on a laptop. Looking for a group License? Contact us.

I’ve correctly installed Ricochet 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 Ricochet will likely pop into the Extention/Plugin dropdown right after.

Does Ricochet 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 Ricochet.

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 Ricochet?

C4D will pop up a warning that there is a missing plugin, and the Ricochet objects in the Object Manager will show as question marks. If a scene file is saved on a machine that doesn’t have Ricochet but the question marks, once it is returned to a machine that has Ricochet installed, it will automatically work again (assuming the Ricochets weren’t deleted by the user).

A Ricochet 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 Ricochet to render farm?

The render farm will require Ricochet to be installed. If a 3rd party farm does not have Ricochet, have the vendor contact Rocket Lasso.

If all else fails, a Ricochet spline can be baked out to Alembic for maximum compatibility.

Why isn’t Ricochet 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.
