How to Install

CentiLeo is distributed as an archive via Download page. This archive has several folders for different Cinema versions. Each folder has all necessary plugin files and should be copied to the Cinema plugins folder.

Extract downloaded archive
To install CentiLeo for Cinema 2025 you should copy CentiLeo2025 folder from downloaded archive to the plugins folder of Cinema 4D, e.g. to “C:/Program Files/Maxon Cinema 4D 2025/plugins/” (or other custom plugins folder).
For older Cinema versions use the other CentiLeoRXX folder copy.
Run your Cinema 4D and select CentiLeo renderer
