AEGP Plugin CINEMA 4D: CINERENDER - connection failure

Hey
This might help.
Go to your comp settings>3D Renderer> and check if the renderer is set to Cinema 4D
If yes,
Then Click on options right beside it and click on choose installation.
Check if both Editing and rendering pannel are pointing to Either Cinema 4D lite or Cinema4D.exe (if you have the full version). this should solve the problem.
I would highly recomend shifting the renderer to the full version as this worked for me.

Hope this helps!

The only solution i've found is to run AE as different user and it works.

Unfortunately no, personally I never found a solution for this. I would constantly have to close After Effects and then reopen it every half hour or so. I was so glad when that project was done. However, I have not had that issue in the most recent versions.

Hello,

The workaround is not left much to me. You change the TCP port number of Cineware option and try it.

Note:

Depending on your computer's security settings, you may see some warnings about TCP communication. This is because After Effects and the background CINEMA 4D renderer communicate using TCP which some security software may interpret as dangerous malware communication. For example, Mac OS may require you to confirm if you want to run this software "downloaded from the Internet". Confirm that you want to run this software.

If you are able to import a .c4d file, but it fails to render, check if your Mac OS Gatekeeper or your firewall has blocked the background CINEMA 4D renderer from functioning and communicating with After Effects. For Mac users, set Allow Applications Downloaded From (under the General tab of Security and Privacy system preferences) to Anywhere.

The TCP port used is defined in the Options in the Cineware effect, and this value is stored in the After Effects preferences file.

Hello,

You temporarily turn off your firewall or any anti-virus applications. These may block the connection port with Cineware.

Hello,

Did you check your firewall setting?

Hello,

Would you try to launch After Effects as an administrator once? You right-click on the program and run as administrator.
