Good news, William Hainline! C4D support for Cargo is planned. I have merged your post here so you will receive an update when it's available.

Big bummer for now that I can't see/access any of my 13(!) OTOY Special Edition (aka C4D only) sets -- would be nice to be able to use them in blender especially now that the Octane addon version has been released....wishful thinking?

So as far as launches of software go, I'd put this in the 'fail' column. I'm sorry, I know your team wanted to get this out there, but giving it partially to the world, and not to a main software user community is pretty frustrating. I get so many emails and social reminders that I can't use it. Bleh. I am so annoyed now, I don't even want to buy anymore kitbash kits.

sharon palkowetz: exactly my sentiments.

If it is not available yet it should not be selectable in the Cargo UI, as it currently is. If you select it, it never comes out of "downloading" which is highly misleading.

Working on it now, we're aiming for early June :)

Maxx Burman: It's early june. Any update on this?
Maxx Burman
s. h.: We're in the final stages of the integration, it should be available in the next release. We'll update this post when it's available. Thanks for your patience, we're heads down on making sure everything is solid for C4D and excited to get this out!

Maxx Burman: Thanks. I really hope two things:
That this version also includes the option to set a custom asset path AND that Blender and C4D share the asset path.
Since I stopped giving my money to Maxon for being customer-hostile: Will this work with older versions of C4D? Since I see USD files I fear the worst.
Maxx Burman
s. h.: We're working hard to get through as many updates as possible, C4D has been our priority. Custom assets paths will most likely be in the following release.
In terms of support, we're targeting the last 3 versions of each software. As long as you're using C4D R25 or newer you should be fine.

Maxx Burman: I own R25 (the last one I bought and will ever buy) but I do not use it, because Maxon broke every plugin that exists after R21. You may want to include R21 because that's the version a lot of users stayed on because of that. You will loose a lot of potential customers if you do not do that.
Maxx Burman
s. h.: Thank you for the suggestion! That won't be ready for our initial C4D support but we will take that under consideration for future updates :)

Maxx Burman: Is there any way to download the C4D models from the website if I am subscribed to the Cargo Pro and waiting on the the C4D plugin?
Maxx Burman
Andrew Cook: Unfortunately there is not. You can download C4D formats for Kits you own from the website, but you won't have access to individual assets across the library.
