mikeh64 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2007 (edited) you can get it at c4dportal.com (in the plugins section) works with Mac C4DR9 - does not, will never work with R10 don't know about what versions on PC - maybe R10? the developer - Paul Everett - has stated he won't ever touch it again (though the rumor is that he is now a secret Maxon programmer, maybe we'll see something similar in the app someday) Edited October 16, 2007 by mikeh64 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C.Smith 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2007 CityGen is still one of the most impressive plugs I've seen for C4D. Even though I've never really used it for anything, it's just a great implementation of the idea. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
govinda 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2007 Every time I used it, it gave me a city just good enough that I could never use it in production. I ended up building my own buildings anyway, or reworking whatever buildings it gave me. I'm not fond of Paul's attitude about all this stuff either. He used to create stuff that crashed a lot (Solid Splines Pro on v7.303 on the Mac was a train wreck). Now he gives curt, downright rude answers to people who ask about his support going forward. If there was anyone I wouldn't want working at Maxon, it'd be that guy. Whenever the mograph module crashes, and that's sometimes ten times a day, I think back to his name attached to its coding. No secret--he was definitely involved. This has been another exercise in writing stuff on mograph that I'd never allow myself to write on CGTalk. And I could be completely full of doo-doo.

Thankfully, the vast majority of C4D developers are damn awesome. It makes up for the few that make you wish you never wasted your time/money. -m Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Srek 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2007 Over there, the thread would be locked before you could finish typing it anyway. Not by me I would ask for the crashreports. By far the most crashreports we get here at MAXON are caused by plugins. Mograph is very low on the list of trouble causing items. Cheers Björn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vozzz 2 Report post Posted September 28, 2009 wow, i got to say, i never even bothered trying that plugin before, but it makes some pretty nice results. I mean yeah it's not to be used in production as is. But a great starting point when you need to generate some cities, quickly. nowdays probs easier to use a combination of mograph with a random effector, but this is cool too.

pixel_pimp 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2009 I loaded R9 to use City Gen and then made them models to import into R11. They work fine for distant stuff or fast fly through. Higher ploy are need for up close work. I would be a dick too if someone kept emailing me during my WoW sessions! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andywright 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2009 Citygen doesn't work with C4D 11.5 - anyone else have the same issue? I just installed it in Cinema 4D R11.5 Studio + architecture on Windows 7 Home Premium and it works fine. Not sure if i'll use it but will have a play :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

basilisk 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2009 Old plugins stopped working when Macs went from PPC to Intel, and also when Cinema went from 32 bit to 64 bit, as both these transitions need rewrites or recompiles. If your version of Cinema allows you to run in Rosetta on the Mac, or 32 bit on either platform, you might have a chance of using an old plugin.
