What’s new in 1.0

  • Now on aescripts + aeplugins. Buy, install and license SuperSolo through aescripts, with a 14-day trial to try it first. See Licensing & support.
  • Leaving a solo always works. Clicking SuperSolo to end a solo only puts your own scene back, so it is never held up by a licence prompt — a scene can’t be left half-hidden.
  • Nothing is written into the plugin folder. SuperSolo keeps its settings in Cinema 4D’s preferences folder, so it is happy in a read-only or shared plugins folder.

These arrived during the 0.1 releases and are all part of 1.0.

  • Parents bring their children. Soloing a parent solos its whole hierarchy.
  • Children don’t need their parents. Soloing an object deep in a hierarchy keeps it visible without cluttering the Object Manager with its parents. See Hierarchies and materials.
  • New objects join the solo. Anything you create, duplicate or drop into the scene while soloed is added to the solo — new materials too.
  • Selected materials stay visible. Materials selected in the Material Manager stay visible through a solo, even if no soloed object uses them.
  • Your layers come back exactly. Each object returns to its own layer when you un-solo, even when several layers share the same name.
  • A colour you choose. The solo viewport colour is set in Preferences, and works over a gradient background.
  • No stranded colours. If Cinema 4D closes mid-solo, or you switch to a document that isn’t soloed, SuperSolo puts your viewport background back on its own.
  • One Chroma menu. With the Chroma Plugin Manager installed too, SuperSolo no longer adds a second Chroma menu or a duplicate entry.

The full list of changes is in the plugin’s CHANGELOG.md.
