RhinoToC4D, Without the OBJ Detour
A Cinema 4D plugin that imports Rhino .3dm files while preserving layers, blocks, materials, curves, and other scene structure.
- For
- Rhino users preparing models for Cinema 4D rendering
- Worth noticing
- The importer supports linked external .3dm blocks as Cinema 4D instances.
Field notes
RhinoToC4D exposes tessellation controls ranging from Draft to Custom and says its size-relative presets adapt detail per object. The importer also maps Rhino-specific organization into Cinema 4D: hierarchical layers, blocks, saved views, lights, pivots, and user text each have corresponding scene destinations. The free demo is limited to 25 objects per file, while the listed full version includes one key, three activations, and a 30-day offline grace period.
