Hi,
I tried to convert Cinema materials but it does not seem to work most of the time. A simple C4D color material did work. In other cases I get a black material or a crash.
Any idea what might cause this ?

Is it under Cinema4D R20? (win or OSX?)
Do you use the latest plugin version? We have released a quick fix short after the fir R20 release.

I just installed the latest plugin.
OSX
C4D R20

I can manually finetune the materials after concversion. But I see that a lot of data is not converted. The most obvious one is the type of material is not set to "custom" but for instance to AGS for an opaque material.

Although the conversion is far from perfect (C4D to Maxwell) it does save me time from getting it done from scratch.
