New Features In 1.7

Support for R19

4D Publish now includes support for R17, R18 and R19.

There are now separate builds for each version of Cinema 4D for both OSX and Windows.

Inside the 4D Publish folder delete every version except the one for your version of Cinema 4D or BodyPaint.

• For example, on Windows, if you have R19 then keep the 4dpublish_r19.cdl64 file and delete 4dpublish_r17.cdl64 and 4dpublish_r18.cdl64.
• For example, on OSX, if you have R19 then keep the 4dpublish_r19.dylib file and delete 4dpublish_r17.dylib and 4dpublish_r18.dylib.
