  1. WOW! I have just discovered this great plugin and have seen the videos and love much how this works and would surely like to buy it, and this is something I have been wishing to have, BUT the problem is that I only have Cinema4D Lite version (I think is the Cinema 4D 14 Lite version) that is available for Adobe Creative Cloud Users.

    So I would like to know if this can be used with Cinema4D Lite, so I do not want to buy it, and then see that is not compatible.

    Thanks very much and congratulations for making this great plugin

    Cinema 4D 14 Lite is not compatible with C++/Python APIs are not supported in C4D Lite

  2. I haven’t officially tried it since I don’t have Lite, but since Lite doesn’t support Python scripts this definitely wouldn’t work:/ Hopefully they’ll allow plugins in the next version of Lite

  3. Looks good! Does this work images carrying alpha channels such as a psd or tga w alpha?

    • Hi Lee, it does work with images with Alpha Channels. For PSDs it won’t read it from each layer by default. It will read the main documents alpha.
