As promised, here is a very preliminary version of the loader for C4D. At the moment it's just a browser; it doesn't actually set anything up in the scene.
To try this you'll need C4D R11 or higher (the final version is intended to run on R10 or later) and a PC. I will be doing a Mac conversion when it gets to a more usable state.
Please do read the readme.txt file in the archive. It's full of awful warnings about not risking this plugin when working on something you would prefer not to lose.
I'd be grateful for any comments and/or bug reports. I'm going to leave the interface for now, so that people have a chance to play with it, and get on with making it do something useful

Regards,
Steve
