| This is NOT exactly a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section because,
well... ... people haven't really asked many things about DeCaf yet. So, this section should really be called QPCEAAD (Questions People Could Eventually Ask About DeCaf). But, since it is not a very pretty acronym, I sticked with the one people know best. |
| In what versions of Cinema 4D will DeCaf run? An in what platforms? | DeCaf will run in Cinema 4D 10.0 and up. Since it is coded in COFFEE, it will run in both Windows and Mac. |
| Will I be able to do the same things with DeCaf that I would do, if using COFFEE? | No, DeCaf is not as powerful as COFFEE. It will allow you to do most of the things you can with COFFEE, in a much simpler way, though. |
| How easy is to learn DeCaf? | DeCaf was made for people that want to learn to program. For that purpose, a very comprehensive manual is provided. Also, the external editor (see screen shots), includes many features that will help the novice to learn DeCaf as it types the code. |
| Will I be able to share my DeCaf scripts with others? | Yes, definitely. DeCaf files are completely platform independent and can be shared easily. However, if you want to release any DeCaf script and you don't want people peeking at your code, you can also save DeCaf scripts in an encrypted format. |
| What is the expected date of release of DeCaf? | I
have absolutely no idea, unfortunately. I'm developing DeCaf in my
spare time and I don't have much spare time. I have several other
projects I'm working on, a day job and my personal life. I can only say that I want to release it as soon as possible. |
| Is there any beta-testing team? | Not really. However a few people that were really interested in learning programming would be handy. The problem is that there is no real documentation yet. As soon as there is something that could get people started, I would love to initiate a beta-team. Anyway, if you are interested, contact me. |
| Can I contribute to the FAQ list? | Of course. Please! I would love to know about your doubts. Please, contact me. |
