Cinema 4D plugin missing

[tharmine]

HI all, 

I accidentaly uninstalled the Cinema 4D plug-in for After Effect, and after an update of After Effect to 17.1.1, I cannot change the 3d renderer anymore.

Can you please tell me how I can install again the plug-in? (because it does not come directly with the AE update apparently). 

Thank you in advance for your help

Use the Creative Cloud app to uninstall After Effects and then install it again. The C4D rendering engine is an integral part of AE. I'm not sure how you uninstalled it, but it is not a separate part of the installer that can be simply copied and pasted.

Hi, thank you. 

I was cleaning my C: drive and uninstalling programs and saw C4D, did't make the connection with AE and uninstalled it. 

After I made the update of AE, but I guess the update was not enough to reinstall the plug-in. 

I will try your suggestion. 

Thanks

Did you ever get it to work?

Thank you.

You can now add the Cinema 4D plugin from the creative cloud app. You can go to the After Effect app and then click on the three dots and select "add on". It's not in the normal plug-in store.
