Known Issues / Warnings

All Plug-Ins for older versions of Cinema 4D will not run anymore with Cinema 4D 2023 unless they have been adapted from the Plug-In developer.

Please doublecheck, if your Plug-In vendor can provide you an updated version of it's Plug-Ins, compatible to Cinema 4D 2023.



Asset Browser links (in textures and simple Xref) are not backwards compatible to earlier releases, even if the asset is available in the library. Links from Cinema 4D 24-26.1 will translate into 2023, but links from 2023 will appear as broken in 24-26.1.

Existing scenes will open in Basic Color Management mode and render as designed. When choosing to convert from Basic Color Management to OCIO, colors may be changed due to differing gamut of color spaces.

OCIO conversion of scenes containing Vertex Maps and MoGraph Color may introduce artifacts
