Navie Effex Gone?

[grain 114]

Wow that's both really sad but amazing he's made it public. I hope he's OK. I was a registered effex user up until v2.5, it's got some quirks but is very powerful in certain ways. Definitely recommend anyone who doesn't have Xparticles or Houdini giving it a try - the mesher in particular is great.

Thanks for sharing the free link. Hope Samir is doing fine.

I can't seem to get it installed. I put the DLLs in the folder where they belonged and put the plugin folder in the specified location, but I don't see the plugin anywhere when I launch C4D.

Just so you know, you're not alone. I followed instructions and I looked at one of the install videos on YouTube and it seems there are more DLL's in older versions:

 

Not sure if there are files missing or if it's an R19 issue or conflict with other plugins.

 

An older installation video I watched that shows the installation process just to confirm you're doing it correctly:

Had also no success installing on R18 or R19. I was following the original instructions but these are the same as in the video ABMotion posted.

 

Cinema 4D's console reports no Navié plugin in both versions as if the files are not recognized as complete or a valid plugin.

Yes, installing additional library is needed. First search on your computer for file "tbb.dll". If you´ll find, simply copy this file to installation cinema4d folder (where is cinema4d.exe file)

If you didn´t find on computer, download from here :

https://github.com/01org/tbb/releases

 

after extracting you´ll find this library in:

 

tbb2018_20171205oss\bin\intel64\vc14\tbb.dll

(and copy library file as in previous case to the same folder)

 

After that you´ll see additional menu "Navié" inside c4d...

Hi There,

 

thanks Samir for this great gift. I wish you all the best for your life.

 

to all the others. I just can't get it running. Not on my workstation not on my Laptop.

I downloaded everything twice, tested 10 different tbb.dlls and tripple checked that I put everything where it belongs.

on R17 to R19 on win 10 and 8.1 (all 64Bit)

 

is someone else having problems to? or am I the only one?

 

thanks for every bit of advice.

 

Best regards

Jops

ok, so spireil over at cgtalk helped me find out:

 

it was the missing or to old opencl.dll

ok... so here for all:
install like described in the Navie effex zip
- copy a tpp.dll to the dir where you find the cinema4d.exe (working for me is version 4.2.2013.1114 for spireil version 2018.0.0.0 works, maybe wersion it is not that crucial here)
- take care that your windows/system32 folder contains a opencl.dll (version 2.0.2.0 works for spireil, 2.0.4.0 works for me (I had it laying around so I used this one.)

thanks a lot to everyone!
and especially to Samir!

Hi everyone!

I tried to buy Navie Effect and I was worried that the site disappeared, and here is such a surprise!

I downloaded and installed, everything works, I have only one problem.

The version downloaded from GIT has no pressets! And thus, for example, there is no package "Particles Mesher" prepared.

Any ideas?

hello

Navie Effex v.2.80.03

now free for WIN

https://github.com/SamirKharchi/Effex-for-C4D

happy new year.

Alas, as a paid Mac customer of Effex 2.8 (and since 1.x), this doesn't really help me.  I deeply appreciate the effort, and I'm glad for Windows Effex customers, but it doesn't resolve my situation.  I can't get a working serial code for R19 for my existing commercial install, and he hasn't posted the Mac version in github (yet, anyway).
