At last it's done!
New versions of the sIBL Loader for Cinema 4D are now available. This includes the functionality from the beta version (see post #34 above) plus one or two extras and, of course, a number of bug fixes and tweaks.
However - don't you just hate it when you see that word - there is a slight downside. Well, two. Firstly, Vray support proved impossible to implement for C4D R10 because Vray for C4D doesn't support R10 any more. It does support R10.5... but it's not possible for me to compile a separate version for R10.5 as the SDK is no longer available from Maxon.
The other issue is that due to very significant changes in the Cinema SDK, plugin versions for R11 don't work in R11.5, and versions for R11.5 had to be reworked and recompiled for R12. So, there are now four separate versions of this plugin depending on which release of C4D you have.
I've uploaded a large archive with all four versions in it, but if you just want the specific one for your release of Cinema, please go to my site (
http://www.microbion.co.uk/graphics/c4d/sIBLLoader.htm) and download it from there. (It'll be another 24 hours before they are available, if you need the new version right now, download the attached archive.)
As always, if you find any bugs or have any suggestions, please let me know.
