Custom Layouts:

Window: Users\*USERNAME*\AppData\Roaming\Maxon\Maxon Cinema 4D R2*_********\library\layout

Mac: Users/*USERNAME*/Library/Preferences/Maxon/Maxon Cinema 4D R2*_********/library/layout

 

Custom Assets: If you choose "Preferences" when adding custom assets to the Asset Browser:

*Note if you've created a custom database for your assets, the following folders will not include those assets.

Window: Users\*USERNAME*\AppData\Roaming\Maxon\Maxon Cinema 4D R2*_********\userrepository​

Mac: Users/*USERNAME*/Library/Preferences/Maxon/Maxon Cinema 4D R2*_********/userrepository​

 

Color Schemes:

Window: Users\*USERNAME*\AppData\Roaming\Maxon\Maxon Cinema 4D R2*_********\prefs - In the dark.col file

Mac: Users/*USERNAME*/Library/Preferences/Maxon/Maxon Cinema 4D R2*_********/prefs - In the dark.col file

 

Custom Scripts:

Window: Users\*USERNAME*\AppData\Roaming\Maxon\Maxon Cinema 4D R2*_*********\library\scripts

Mac: /Users/*USERNAME*/Library/Preferences/Maxon/Maxon Cinema 4D R2*_********/library/scripts

 

Changes to your Cinema 4D Preferences:

Window: Users\*USERNAME*\AppData\Roaming\Maxon\Maxon Cinema 4D R2*_*********\prefs - In the Cinema 4D.prf file

Mac: Users/*USERNAME*/Library/Preferences/Maxon/Maxon Cinema 4D R2*_********/prefs - In the Cinema 4D.prf file

 


Custom Presets (including Render Settings) in R24 (and older):

Window: Users\*USERNAME*\AppData\Roaming\Maxon\Maxon Cinema 4D R2*_********\library\browser - In the user.lib4d file

Mac: Users/*USERNAME*/Library/Preferences/Maxon/Maxon Cinema 4D R2*_********/library/browser - In the user.lib4d file

 

Custom Shortcuts in R24 (and older):

Window: Users\*USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Maxon\Maxon Cinema 4D R2*_********\prefs - In the shortcuttables.res file

Mac: Users/*USERNAME*/Library/Preferences/Maxon/Maxon Cinema 4D R2*_********/prefs - In the shortcuttables.res file

 


 

Custom Presets in R25 (and newer):

Because R25 (and newer) has an updated preset system, presets are stored in the Asset Browser

Window: Users\*USERNAME*\AppData\Roaming\Maxon\Maxon Cinema 4D R2*_********\userrepository​

Mac: Users/*USERNAME*/Library/Preferences/Maxon/Maxon Cinema 4D R2*_********/userrepository​

 

Custom Shortcuts in R25 (and newer)::

Window: Users\*USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Maxon\Maxon Cinema 4D R2*_********\prefs\shortcuts​

Mac: /Users/*USERNAME*/Library/Preferences/Maxon/Maxon Cinema 4D R2*_********/prefs/shortcuts​

 

Downloaded Assets from the Asset Browser:
Window: Users\*USERNAME*\AppData\Roaming\Maxon\_assetcache

Mac: Users/*USERNAME*/Library/Preferences/Maxon/_assetcache

 

If you are moving the downloaded assets from one machine to another, it's best to copy the _assetcahe folder itself and place this folder here:
Window: Users\*USERNAME*\AppData\Roaming\Maxon

Mac: Users/*USERNAME*/Library/Preferences/Maxon
