HoRope in Cinema R24?

[ropedopekb]

Hey there. I love me some horope! Thanks so much for this excellent plugin! But it doesn't seem to work in R24. I'm on iMac. I posted on Cineversity about it, and someone replied with:

It looks to me that the development on this has stopped, and the needed update to Python 3 is not available.
Perhaps check with the developer and ask if he can update it.

Is anyone else having this issue? Thanks for any thoughts! :)

having similar issue, with similar setup. This plugin is so good, hope to be able to use this plugin again soon!

Hey @ropedopekb actually there is no issue. I figured out that the plugin works fine and that it was my Mac's Python Version that was the issue. MacOS still by default comes with Python 2.7 (this won't the default I think with the next macOS set to come out) and plugins according to Cinema 4D R24 use Python 3.9.1 >=

See Here:

Maxon's Python SDK Documentation states:

_"Cinema 4D S24 run on Python 3.9.1.

This update is important for Mac OS users since it’s the first official version to support Apple Silicon.
Fixing zipfile, SSL, and all no ARM-ready python modules. It also fixes pip for Mac OS which was not working correctly within Cinema 4D.
Python 3.8 and Python 3.9 offer some nice new features so take a look at"_

So, to get the plugin to work you'll just need to do the following steps:

brew install python3 && cp /usr/local/bin/python3 /usr/local/bin/python        
alias python=/usr/local/bin/python3

Once I ran these commands. The plugin began to work.
