He Fixed Cinema 4D's UI with this one weird trick (Doctors hate him!)

Ok Let’s face it, the new Cinema 4D UI Sucks .. But only for us old timers who are used to the old versions of Cinema.

I managed to restore the UI to its former glory (to an extent) and also managed to fill the gaps in the missing icons, so i want to share with you how i came to do this so you too can cope with the identity crisis C4D is having today!

Step 1: Download this Icons File by clicking here

Step 2: Make a copy of the current interface_icons_2x.tif somewhere, and then replace that with the downloaded file here C:\Program Files\Maxon Cinema 4D R26\resource\modules\c4dplugin\icons

Step 3:Profit!

That should be it, as far as colours, unfortunately this is something you have to tweak manually as i’m not sure if this something i can transfer across, you are welcome to take inspiration from my screenshot!

I should also mention that old icons might be wrong or misplaced (or totally missing in some cases like new features, e.g z-remesher) but you can tweak that .tiff file to fill in the gaps (by comparing the old file and new file and saving a new version with tweaks), which is something i’m doing.

Enjoy!
