I get the all black thing with R10 and all white with R9.6 ! Hmmm....

I am sure I must be missing something obvious as other people appear to be getting proper output but I'm sure I have things set OK.

Sorry I can't help with the file name thing - I don't get that.

I think I will give up too for today. I will just make myself bad tempered if I carry on fighting with it.

I have to hit write mxs first and then render.
Strange.
Here we go again?

edit: ok i think ifound a solution myself: on windows i deleted the folder called macxosx(i is in the winplugin!!!) and be also sure to NOT unzip the v10 or v9.6 dlls on win. they seem to be ONLY for osx. at least now it renders.
still i hope the cinemaplugin will be handled with more and faster updates to be equal up the maya plugin.

Hello Stefan,

You need the dynamic library. I unzipped them and they work fine.

when i have the v10 libary i get this annoying massage all the time and cant render. without it seems to work, at least for a small fast test.

thanks
Stefan

same problem here (9.5), after saving with a new c4d project filename (auto increment).
restarting c4d did it for me...

however, the new plugin is NICE! :P
