VariText for Cinema 4D v1.7.1 update

After a long period of work, I finally managed to complete the update for the VariText plugin for Cinema 4D! According to user feedback, the main issue with the plugin was not the plugin itself, but rather the lack of design in many variable fonts. The problem lies in the fact that font designers use certain tricks when defining the shapes of glyph curves that are supposed to smoothly change during interpolation. As a result, the Bézier curves that form the contours of the glyphs begin to intersect. While this is generally not a problem for rendering an image, it becomes completely unacceptable when trying to generate a spline and a 3D object through extrusion. The latest update to the plugin resolves this issue in 95% of cases.

Plugins for Cinema 4D 2024 – done! But…

Finally I finished working on improving the compatibility of my plugins for Cinema 4D 2024. This time the developers made a lot of changes to the source code of the program to make it work even faster. Such a number of innovations also required us, plugin developers, to work on adapting our add-ons to the new version.

But, I have a large number of free scripts, plugins, etc. things that may need updating. If you have found an error when using, write me a feedback form here. I will try to correct the errors if possible.
