Thinking Particles and Proximal
This scene also makes use of the Proximal shader. As you may have guessed from the name, the Proximal shader works based on the proximity of objects. In other words you can use it to control a material when it is near another object, edge, vertex, etc.
C4D Jack (Jack’s Secret Stash) Updates Free Plugins
SceneDocumentor 1.1.7
With this plugin you can attach tags with text comments to objects, documenting the scene. If you want to pass the scene on to people who don’t have SceneDocumentor installed, you can transform all comment tags into a block of Null Objects and delete the tags with just one mouse click. Also a nice thing is the possibility to generate an exposé of your commented scene as HTML. The look of the document can be controlled over template files.
- The new Comment Inspector dialog can be docked into the layout of CINEMA 4D. It enables you to see the contents of multiple Comment Tags at the same time, without even having to select the tags.
- The Comment Tag now lets you choose between several different icons (different colors or graphics). That way, you can e.g. indicate important comments, open questions or other kinds of comments.
- Better HTML export. If the preview rendering fails, an error message is output. In addition to that, the name of the chosen icon of the Comment Tags is now included in the HTML document.
- Several minor improvements and bugfixes.

GearBuilder 1.01
GearBuilder is a small but nevertheless helpful plugin for building almost any kind of gear. To make it simple, GearBuilder is an expression for constraining the rotation and position of objects to emulate the behaviour of cogwheels, wheels on an axis and wheels connected by belts.
Only a little new feature has been added to this plugin: The new "Invert Rotation" option in the Cogwheel connection enables you to build your gears without worrying about the direction of the cogwheels’ Z axis.

Furthermore, I hereby release another mini plugin that I often use while debugging my plugins:
RestartCinema
This Plugin does exactly what its name suggests: It restarts CINEMA 4D.
Please note that it only runs in CINEMA 4D R11.5 (Windows and Intel Mac, 32 and 64 Bit).
