Active Camera Shortcut - C4D Plugin

The Active Camera Shortcut plugin for Cinema 4D 2024 is a simple tool designed to save you a ton of clicks and time. After I moved from Blender to Cinema4D I was missing my camera shortcut so much!

This plugin enhance your camera workflow. Allowing you to quickly toggle between a chosen active camera and the default camera in C4D. It functions the same way as the camera in Blender when you press "0" on the num pad.

Features:

1. Quick Toggle Between Cameras:
   • Seamlessly switch between the main camera and default camera in your scene with a single command like in Blender 3D.
     

     

2. Automatic Camera Detection:
   • The plugin automatically detects the cameras in your scene, including standard and custom cameras.
   • Supports Redshift cameras and other custom camera types.
3. Polygon Selection Tag Recognition:
   • Prioritizes cameras with polygon selection tags for quick access. Assign a polygon selection tag on the camera you wish to be the active one.

     

     

4. Efficient Camera Management:
   • Defaults to switch to the topmost camera in the object manager when no cameras with selection tags are found.
5. User-Friendly Operation:
   • Simple and intuitive to use, with no complex setup required. You just need to set up your own shortcut.

How to Use:

1. Install the plugin by placing the extracted directory to your Cinema 4D plugins directory (image below example).

   

2. Restart Cinema 4D to recognize the new plugin.
3. Assign the plugin to a shortcut, like in Blender, so open the Command Manager (image below)

   

4. Search for "active camera shortcut" and assign a new Key for the command. And now you are ready to go! In my case I want to use the same "0" shortcut as in Blender.
