C4D Migrator

Move your Cinema 4D preferences, layouts, scripts and plugins to the next release in one pass — previewed first, and undoable afterwards.
Getting startedWhat’s new

Your whole setup, one pass

Preferences, the startup layout, saved layouts, scripts, plugins, Asset Browser catalogs, node groups, custom nodes and the default scene — carried from one Cinema 4D version to the next.

Knows which plugins will load

Across a major version, C++ plugins built for the old release stay behind; Python plugins and scripts come across. The report lists what to reinstall.

See it before it happens

A full preview lists every copy, merge and skip, with sizes, before a single file is written.

A way back

The new version is snapshotted first. Anything replaced is backed up. Restore, revert or factory-reset in one click.

  2. Step by step — every screen of the wizard, in order.
  3. What gets migrated — each checkbox, and what it does.

C4D Migrator is a standalone app for Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit) and macOS on Apple silicon. It migrates Cinema 4D 2024 and later, including 2027. You don’t need Cinema 4D open — in fact it must be closed.
