Content Browser Cinema 4d 2023

[Fidelia Boldul]

Thedefault location of the preset library cannot be changed, but cinema looks at more than one location. It is possible to add a second location by setting up the following Environment Variable in Windows:

name: C4D_BROWSERLIBS

value: e.g.your custom network path. \\data\artconfig\c4d_presets_R21

Hi Chris, the numbered steps are specific to setting the symbolic links up with the Shell Link Extension and using the Windows Explorer (context menu = the menu which appears on right-clicking your mouse in Windows Explorer). I am sure you will figure out how to set up symbolic links on Mac, the broader concept stays the same! Best of Luck!

The new asset browser can be stored on a network location and be updated by all users. We have ours stored on a team Dropbox and then we have this locally downloaded on each machine. When people add to the asset browser it updates in the database location and everyone can use it.

I tried in r21 for quite a few months but the only way we could do it was to have an admin who adds to it and then distribute it around the machines. You could possibly do this by setting up some sort of automated syncing software, to run the distribution between machines at a certain time. Something my boss thought up, which would work.

I wanted to clean up my Content Browser so I tried to move a few folders into one big folder, but I clicked copy instead. Now I have two sets of folders with the same assets and the editor does not know what to do with them since the copied folders/assets were not renamed.

I tried to delete the copied folders, but the editor already deleted my original assets, so if I try to delete the copied ones I lose everything. While the editor did delete the assets from the original folders, it did not delete the folders themselves and when I try to remove these folders it deletes all of the things that used to be referenced in the folders from my world even though they are not in the original folders anymore.

So what I was going to do was delete the old folders and re-reference everything to the new folders, but I am missing assets in both the new AND old, I also cannot re-import them or drag them back into the content browser as I mentioned above.

And I re-arranged the files in the explorer, while the folders are now in the correct places the assets inside the CustomBluprints folder are missing (exept for some meshes and materials I imported. Some stuff is in the explorer just not the editor, but not all of my original assets).

By chance were you seeing any crashes when moving those folders into one? What I am doing is making 3-5 new folders in the content browser and then creating one to place those 3-5 into. I am selecting them all and then trying to copy them into the one to hold them all. It would then ask me if i wished to compile the 256+ assets into the folder. Whether you press yes or no, the editor will crash. By chance is this what you are seeing?

The editor does not crash for me when I copy the folders to one folder, however, I only coped 7 folders with 82 assets, for that is how many I had when I copied the original folders the first time, I have not tried copying more than that.

I am able to copy the folders into 1 folder, however; when I then try to delete these folders instead of saying that the assets are being used in the world like it did when I did this the very first time, it lets me delete them.

I have gone into the editor and created 4 new folders. I selected a couple of assets from other folders and moved them into the 4 folders, not copied. So I then have 4 folders with blueprints, animations, etc. I then proceed to make one a new folder to place those folders into. I drag those four folders into and copy them into the new folder.

So I have one folder with 4 sub folders, but those 4 sub folders are still folders in the content browser. I then proceed to delete the 4 folders, not the sub folders, but the normal folders from the content browser.

That is almost exactly what I see, except the copied folders are still there just with nothing in them, it will also not let me delete the folders, it comes up with an error saying the assets in the folders are being used in the world (but the content browser shows no assets).

I noticed that when I move folders, the folders themselves remain behind and the assets move into new folders (I colored my folders beforehand and when they move or are copied they return to default color), but when I move them back both the assets and the folders move.

I just noticed something that may help (Let me know if you have tried this previously). I believe that you have been trying to re-import the assets using the content browser in the editor, correct? Have you tried to highlight the asset in the saved>backup section of your project file and drag and drop them into the content folder you wish for them to be placed into via another open windows explorer? (ex. say you have a floor asset in your saved>backup folder in Windows Explorer. You want to place it into your custom mesh folder. Click and drag the asset from one open Windows explorer and drop it into the custom mesh folder that is open in another Windows explorer.)

So I have asked another dev and was told that the Pending deleting assets referencing window is designed to actually protect that asset from being deleted, until you force delete. Then , after the force delete, you will have to delete it again for the folder to be gone from the content browser.

The folder will still be showing in windows explorer, you can delete them from there and that should delete the folder for good. You can quickly find where the location of the folder is by right clicking it in the content browser and then selecting show in explorer.

That also worked perfectly! I just have to make sure I drag the files that are bigger than 1kb into the folders! At first I was only dragging the 1kbs thinking that since they were back-up files the editor would reload them to their original form, now that I am looking again, I see that there are bigger files and when I did what you said with those it worked and they showed up in the content browser and there are not more referencing errors when I put them into the correct folders!

The Apple TV+ content can be viewed in a web browser, which is awesome. However, there seems not to be a way to view my purchased movies, unless I'm completely missing it somewhere. Does anyone know if this is possible? I have several movies that I've purchased from Apple that I would like to watch in the same interface (i.e. in a web browser).

I regularly use three different operating systems, (Mac, Windows and Linux), and the Apple TV app is not available on Windows or Linux (as far as I know), which means I simply can't view the content there.

Hello. I've clicked on the link and have read through it, but the Android Xfinity Stream app or the web site on the desktop browser on my PC only pulls up free content. Per Advanced Tech Support, I've tried primary and secondary user accounts across multiple devices. They all seem to pull up only free content as if I'm not allowed to rent or purchase any. I confirmed this by searching for a recent release like In the Heights or Mortal Kombat (2021), but neither movie pulls up with a Rent or Purchase option. In fact, all I can do is favorite it.

I was finally able to purchase content on the Flex streaming box after exhausting all other options. It did not matter if the Xfinity Stream app was used with Xfinity Internet or not as the UX was the same in offering only limited free movies and shows. It'd be good to provide some documentation on Xfinity's site that Xfinity Internet-only customers can only rent or purchase using the Flex box and nothing else, so that others don't have to go on a wild goose chase either.

- [Instructor] If your membership includes access to the exercise files for this course, you can download this course's files and put them on your desktop like I've done here. Inside the exercise files folder, you'll find another sets of folders that correspond to the different chapters that have exercise files in them. As we go throughout the course, just simply open up the chapter folder and file name you see on screen. That way you can follow along with me, step by step, with the exact same files that I'm using. I wanted to point out there are several movies in this course that make use of open GL features of the view port, in particular, tesselation and also, hardware open GL preview renders. If your machine supports these features, then you'll be able to follow along. If not, don't worry because it's just a view port option and when you render, the CPU will take over so what is rendered should still work. In fact, if you turn on the interactive render region, alt R, you'll be able to see the rendered result and you can also resize the preview ratio and adjust the quality to suit your needs. If you've received an error about missing assets, such as, the HTRIs that are taken from the studio content browser, don't worry. If you have access to the content browser, you can use another HDRI, just open it up and search in the presets, I suggest maybe prime and search for HDRI, inside here, one of these folders, you'll be able to use another version such as this photo studio here. Alternatively, you can search the web for one, you could use your favorite search engine and search for free HDRI. This site also has plenty of HDRIs that are freely available and you can download one to your desktop and then, all you need to do, is open up the material, find the correct channel and texture and then just choose here to load in the image that you've downloaded. Then everything should just work. If you don't have access to the exercise files, that's okay too, you can still follow along using your own files or simply sit back and watch as I take you through each individual exercise.
