Work-around for SurfaceSPREAD 1.0.44 R20 users
The current version of SurfaceSPREAD (1.0.45) can be run on R20 using Insydium Bridge. Here’s how to do it:
- Make sure you are using the latest Cinema 4D R20 version—at least SP1
- Copy the Plugins/SurfaceSPREAD folder from either R18 or R19 to the R20 plugins folder and delete the .lic file. Or, download the SurfaceSPREAD installer from your Laubwerk Account and select the custom installation option. Select the R19 plugin for installation, and then pick the Cinema R20 folder as the custom install location
- Download Insydium Bridge for free, and copy the two files to your Cinema 4D R20/Plugins/SurfaceSPREAD folder
- Start Cinema 4D. Press cancel when the registration window pops up
- Activate the 30-day free demo within Cinema 4D Plugins > SurfaceSPREAD sub-menu. Or, if you have purchased a full license, request a free full license file for R20
- On Windows, Insydium Bridge makes some changes to the SurfaceSPREAD plugin resources. Therefore, you should make sure you have write access permissions for the SurfaceSPREAD folder (Cinema 4D R20/Plugins/SurfaceSPREAD), as well as for all contained elements and sub-folders. The best way to check this is to open the properties of the SurfaceSPREAD folder and deselect the read-only checkbox, and then open the security tab and grant full access permissions to your user. Then, restart Cinema 4D, and it should work as expected
