Until now, the Camera GripTools plugin for CINEMA 4D was only compatible with Windows PC’s. However, seeing a high demand for our plugin from Mac users, we’ve developed a version of our plugin for Mac OS X.

Development is now in testing stage. We need to test the plugin on various Mac computers, various OS X versions and a wide range of game controllers.

Therefore we need you!

Wiimote Tester utility released

The Wiimote support in GripTools is experimental, and not supported on all systems. This depends on the combination of hardware (BlueTooth dongles) and software (Windows version / BlueTooth drivers) you’re using.

Therefore, we released a small test utility, so you can check out if your system is able to connect & use the Wiimote properly. When it works with your hard/software, it simulates a rotating/moving 3D Wiimote on your screen. You can also see the button and plugin-expansion status. It supports multiple connected Wiimotes, as well as the Nunchuck and Classic-controller expansions.

This utility offers you the indication that your Wiimote will also work in CINEMA 4D with the Camera GripTools plugin.

Camera GripTools released!

We have finally released our Camera GripTools plugin for CINEMA 4D!
It’s been a long time and a hard job, but here it is (and fully compatible with R11)!

Make sure to check out the demo version and the tutorial video’s.
The complete version is now for sale in the online store.
The complete version can:

  • Record all your motion to keyframes..
  • Use large amounts of input axes and multiple joysticks.
  • Use C4D’s XPresso system to control anything you want.
  • Make use of additional hardware (like the BCF2000 MIDI fader panel, Patriot 3D tracker, Wiimote, Track IR 4-pro, and more to be expected…)



There are some known limitations in this release:

  • The mode of an object with a GripTools Tag can jump to “Off” at certain actions in C4D. You can continue using it afterwards.
  • CINEMA 4D in Full-Screen is currently not supported.
  • The “Display” in the GripTools window has some minor updating problems in XP, this is not the case in Windows Vista.
