Getting a crash after trying to import a C4D FILE

Development Programming & Scripting

So I was trying to import a project from C4D, which included a helicopter model and a short animation.
After using the Datasmith importing tool to import it , the following appeared:

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000010

python39
python39
_ssl_1c8c21c0000
python39_1c8a0260000

And something like this:

python39_1c8a0260000
pythonvm_module
pythonvm_module
pythonvm_module
python
python

I wonder if anyone else have encountered this sort of problem.
Thanks.

Export from C4D as FBX and don’t import with datasmith
that’s the plugin failing.

Actually I find the alternative solution here, in

Though this is indeed a plugin problem. :melting_face:

Hello
I’m the guy who started the thread about this issue.
The “line code” fix will allow you to import, but if you reimport you will loose all your overrides and your object may also be broken.
If you want to be able to work without too much issue you’ll also have, when importing or reimporting, to temporary rename your C4D install to something else (the C4D folder in your C drive) to force the use of the old “melange” software. That works for me but I think you may also need a R24 or earlier release of C4D installed also.
Doing that I manage to reimport pre 5.0.3 objects without loosing all the overrides.
Maxon is closed to release a new Cineware version anyway, but I’m not sure it will work with pre 5.0.3 objects anyway.
