Plugin for Cinema 4D Get renders approved without leaving Cinema 4D

Feedback on renders lands on the task instead of in long email threads with attachments. In the FeatValue window in Cinema 4D you see the tasks of the client project and send the current frame or the finished video for approval. Your client reviews in the browser and approves the task.

Task list

See what is next, right inside Cinema 4D

Choose the client and project, and the plugin remembers your choice. Below are the open tasks, most recently changed first, with search. Tasks you opened recently are at the very top. If a project or task is missing, create it right in the plugin.

Brief and feedback

The brief and client comments next to your scene

In the task you read the description, the acceptance note and all of your client’s comments. Write questions right in the plugin, with the current frame or a file attached if you like. Change the status with the same buttons as in FeatValue, for example to In progress.

Approval

Send a render or the finished video for approval

Under Send for approval you choose what your client should review: the current frame of the scene, which the plugin renders for you, or a finished file, for example the rendered animation as a video. Add a note to tell your client what to look at. The plugin attaches the file to the task and sets it to client review.

In the background

Keep working while the plugin renders and uploads

Rendering and uploading run in the background, and Cinema 4D stays usable. The plugin renders the scene as it was when you clicked, shows the progress in the window, and Cancel stops it. For quick feedback rounds it renders with the renderer and settings of the scene, just at most 1280 pixels wide. For final approval, switch to the full render settings in the settings.

Approval in the browser

💎

Your client reviews in the browser and approves

Your client opens the render in FeatValue and comments right where it matters: on a marked area of an image, or on a video with a timestamp and, if needed, a drawing on the still frame. They do not need a Maxon account or Cinema 4D. Once the task is in review, they approve it with one click or request changes. Learn more in the file comments documentation and under Review and acceptance.
