Initial Setup

To connect Cargo to Cinema 4D, first follow the Basic Software Setup guide.

After you have selected your version of Cinema 4D, Cargo will install all necessary files to your computer and ask you to activate your plugin.

To enable the Cargo Plugin, open Cinema 4D and from the file menu navigate to:

Extensions → Cargo

The Cargo window will open. Click “Connect” and make sure the checkbox indicates “Connected to Cargo.

You can now continue to the Import test to complete Basic Software Setup.
