Hi there,
I’ve just purchased this lovely product of yours, but when I load it into R13 into the library/browser… the text effect object and text effect spline do not show up in the browser…
All I can see are the numerous examples you have in there. The xamples can be tweaked using text edge fx, but I can’t start of with a base myself.
Can you help me please…
Hi Miles,
Thanks for your purchase! In the Content Browser, in the TEFX folder, there will be an R12 version. Let me know if you have any issues finding that!
Cheers
Hi,

Hello, text Edge developer, I restore my computer and I lose my file you think you guys can help me with that or I have to pay again…?
Of course, you don’t have to pay again. Just write me an email with your invoice ID and I will re-activate your download link:

This is a fantastic product which I use all the time. I just wanted to say a big thank you for this.
And what a bargain!
Thanks so much, Morgan! Really appreciate your kind words!
Hello, text Edge developer,
I have on text Edge FX in the 4/1/2012 18:31 o’clock bought and in the 10/6/2012 the text Edge FX v.1.4 – get 2Nd Bug-fixed link sent. Unfortunately, I have missed to burden myself the version 1.4 down. Is there a possibility once again a download link to agree? Many thanks for your great Script.
Many dear greetings
Mathias
Hello Mathias, please email your invoice ID to admin[(at)]c4dtools[(dot)]net and we will reactivate your download link.
Just purchased 1.4. The install instructions state where to put eyedesyn_textedgefx1.4.lib4d. But where do I put the Presets folder?
Hello,
You can just put the presets folder wherever you’ll remember where they are. They don’t need to be in any specific place. You can place them in the Browser folder if you want even.
Understand. Haven’t used the FX yet, looking forward to beveling some Illustrator logos with multiple spline. Think I know what to do in combining the splines. I let you know how it goes. Thank you for all your work.
I am having a problem install the text effect into C4D. I am using Mac C4D R12, I drop the eyedesyn_textedgefx1.4.lib4d into the library browser and when I load C4D navigate to browser I can see the effect but when I click on it I get no options on the right hand side to load the effect. Would you please be able to assit me in getting it to work?
You just need to either double click the TEFX icon in the browser or drag and drop it into your object manager. Let me know if that works for you! Thanks!

Hey EJ,
I can’t seem to reply directly to your original comment, so… I tried placing the 1.4 rig into a fracture object, but all that does is make the entire rig invisible. Not exactly sure why.
Hi
Maybe I’m missing something very obvious, but I don’t see how to use or install the Inner Bevel Presets.
How are they accessed?
Thanks,
Mike
Hello,
What would be the best way to bake out everything into separate letters so that I could animate them individually or use them with Mograph?? Am I missing something simple?
Thanks,
Luke
Hi Luke-
The best way is to duplicate the entire TEFX rig and have each one hold your single letter. Throw those into a Fracture Object and apply effectors to your hearts content! :)
Hello!
I am having trouble putting a material on the front bevel. Seems I can drag and replace the materials for any other part, but not the front bevel material. Can you help?
Thanks
Hi David!
I believe it’s because it’s linked to another bevel material which is why it may reset. There is a material named “front bevel”, I’d just control drag the material you created onto the front bevel material in the material manager
Hello, last night I bought text edge effect v 1.4, however I have C4D R12. The instructions indicate that I need to use v1.3, however, v1.3 is not included in the zip file. Please, send me v1.3 as soone as possible. I am under an urgent deadline. Much appreciated.
Hi Johnny-
Install the .lib4d file as normal and when you open it in your content browser, you’ll see there is a version for R12 in there. Let me know if you have any issues. Thanks!
Hi
Purchased your plugin the other day. A bit of a newbee with C4d so I was if there were any other ‘setups’ in addition to the the presets already supplied.
I have played around and come up with some nice fx, but looking to develop more of a range of looks. Is this something that could added as a payed upgrade. Essentially to have more looks with a hint of some of the Hollwood type title treatments.
Many thanks
Stephen Ryan
HI Stephen! Thanks for purchasing TEFX! More presets is definitely something I’m working on, if you follow me on Twitter @eyedesyn, I keep giving sneak peeks to all the new presets I’m working on. Hope to release a whole mess of presets next month! Stay tuned & thanks for the feedback!
I’ve been using the plugin in for a few weeks and like it a lot, but I cannot find a fix for these odd sections. Can you give a recommendation on how to fix these areas?

I purchased v1.4 but i have R12 any way to remedy the bevel issue without purchasing v1.3?
Hi Hayden-
Version 1.3 is included in version 1.3 What bevel issues are you talking about?
Sorry, I meant version 1.3 is included in version 1.4. Specifically there for people who have R12 and below so EVERYBODY can have sexy text ;)
Could’nt download the bugfix 1.4 within the 120 hours – please provide a new link to get the proper version.
Thanks and best regards – Ronald
Hey Ronald, we will push out v.1.4 again very soon.
I just bought 1.4 and I have the same problem as Ricardo, no inner bevel presets in the zip. I can see them in the content browser but do not know how to apply them.
The new update will solve this issue. Apologies
I just download the update but i did not receive the 15 Inner Bevel presets, the zip file only contains 2 files the eyedesyn_textedgefx1.4.lib4d and the licence.rtf
Hello! The new update will solve this issue so please make sure to download and replace the old version
Hi,
I see there is a 1.4 version. Is there an update available?
Frank
Hi Frank-
1.4 will be releasing next week, everyone who bought TEFX 1.3 and below will be getting the free upgrade to 1.4.
I have version 1.2 how do I get version 1.4?
Thanks
You should get an email I believe now that 1.4 has been updated.
Hello I just purchased the text effects and installed into C4D R13 but it doesn’t seem to be working correctly as it does in your video tutorial on Vimeo.
When I go to the Content Browser under Text Edge FX x1.3 I have 2 folders (Custom Splines – Inner Spline Pack & TEFX PRESETS) and there is also a file called text_edge_fx_v1.3.c4d.
I don’t see the 2 option that are in the tutorial where that you drag into your scene to begin working with the effects.
Please let me know if I am doing something wrong.
Thanks
Hi Jose
Is there no file with a .lib4d file in it? It should all be contained in that lib4d file and you just need to install it in your browser folder in your C4D library folder.
Sorry I just bought your plugin and I upgrade from 11.5 to 14 and it’s not working, i now is my fault I had to ask you first…but will be an upgrade for ver 14?
Thanks
Santiago
Santiago, as soon as I can I’ll make sure it works with R14. Please do tell me a little more about what’s wrong if you can.
Also it should technically work but if it’s not I’ll do what I can to make it R14 ready in release 1.4.
Thanks for letting us know, feedback is very appreciated.
Sam
TEfx Developer
Hi all, I did not discover this issue so far. The plugin seems to work as expected – will try it in detail and give feedback.
Thanks for your great work and regards – Ronald
Hi,
I purchased this product and I cannot open the presets. The only thing that would show on the content browser is the “Text Edge FX V. 1.3.lib4d” but I cannot see the preview nor I can’t even open them. I’m using R13.
PLEASE HELP!
Nevermind, I fixed the problem.
hello buy the pack and do not include
20 Inner Bevels Pack included in the TEFX Content Browser
Gorgeous looking text & logos, super fast!
• Infinite bevel options
• Full control of front and back bevels & text subdivisions & phong angle
• Editable text capping & fillet edges
• Over 30 custom bevel splines included
• Ability to use your own custom bevels
• Simple & intuitive interface & controls
• Free point release updates
Sorry about that Isaac! We had some often included in the drop down menu but I’ll email you the rest and have more included in the next release. Apologies!
Hi,
I’m just back from holidays but the link fot update is expirered…Is it possible to get the update for free?
Thanks
hey seb,
if you send me the “Invoice ID” from your purchase, i can re-activate the download link.
bye, robert
Sam, just started playing with v1.3. When I import an Illustrator file with multiple splines, how do I get the edge to apply to all splines and not just the first one?
Hi Shelby. You must use multiple instances of tefx for multiple splines or just use the connect all objects command on all the splines to make it a single spline. Let me know if that helps!
Shelby I hope you got it figured out, as I said to Ron please get in touch with me if you don’t figure it out. I’ve got a working release of the next version (1.31 probably) ready for EJ to send in as soon as he gives the approval. He’s in europe so it’ll be a few days.
and as EJ said, that’s how it’s done.
Ron-
Also make sure the Spline FX option is not checked. That should allow you to update and use text instead of a custom spline or logo. Let me know if that was the issue
I’ve installed Text Edge FX v.1.3 that you provided the link for but when I tried to replace the TEFX text in the Text Options box it would not update to my text, whereas the previous version had no problem changing out the text. By the way I’m using C4D R12 Broadcast version. Can you give some help with this?
Hi Ron-
Apologies for the issue. You have the “text edge fx” null selecte and the text options won’t update? I’ll look into it and make the necessary changes!
Hey Ron, what EJ said should be right, if not please send me an email at sam@thinkparticle.com and I’ll fix it for you. I didn’t actually do this update but i have the next one coming up shortly.
Sam-
Just bought the Text Edge Effects and started playing with it. I too am having problems changing to the custom spline. I select “Custom Spline”, then drop my spline in the “Custom Spline” field just like you do in the demo and my edge completely disappears. And no amount of changing the scale will make it appear. Once I switch back to a predefined bevel from the drop down, it reappears. Any thoughts?
I’m in R13.058
Thanks!
As I told Gary I’ll fix it monday if you two are able to wait till then. Hope all is well.
Having trouble animating or moving textfx grouped under another null or under the original null, the front bevel doesn’t move with the z position. Rotate and x, y position seem to work.
This is using the custom splineFX preset.
Hey if you can wait till monday I’ll look into it and try to fix it, sorry for the problems. Hope this isn’t holding you back on deadlines!
Hi Gary-
Apologies for the issue, rest assured we are on it and will have this resolved ASAP! Thanks for your patience!
Hi there,
I just purchased Text Edge FX v.1.2 and am having trouble with adding mograph effectors to effect and animate the text position. When I add a random effector, it effects the center type but not the front and back bevels of the type. Can you provide some insight into this?
Thanks
Nick Bauer
nick.bauer@wk.com
We won’t have functionality available to use effectors till v2.0, sorry for the inconvenience. If you have a deadline and need to do this for a project go ahead and email me and we’ll get together on skype and i’ll show you the work around I figured out.
Also just purchased and installed 1.2 into C4D 12 on my Mac. Got the same message about the Physical Plugin missing however, unlike some others, it won’t let me enter text into Mograph Text. Also won’t accept a custom spline.
What’s up?
Thanks ,
Frank
You must change the text settings in the parent null called “text edge fx” because using xpresso that controls the mograph text. Also we have an update coming shortly for R12 so that you can use the file without problems.
Where are you adding custom splines? and are you using the option from the dropdown listed as “custom spline”?
Hope this helped.
just purchased this product. loaded it on my mac in c4d 12 and i get this message.
Several plugins used in this scene are missing.
Saving may cause loss of plugin data!
Plugin ‘Physical’ (ID 1023342)
Whats going on?
Thanks
Does it crash the program or not allow you to use the product?
Can you still render with it?
I have the same pop up in R12 but then everything is fine. It’s a side effect of being built in R13 I believe.
It doesnt allow me to change anything
Derek we have submitted a release to C4D tools that will work properly on R12. Hope this helps, also thanks for getting in touch.
Is there a way to add a delay effector to the text?
Thanks!
We’re going to add functionality to that for V2.0 :)
I purchased 1.1, and recently saw that the 1.2 update had been released, but how do I download the update? I didn’t receive an email link.
That is strange. Please contact me (http://c4dtools.net/info-contact/) with your “E-Junkie Transaction ID” or any other data from your original purchase.
Thanks for the reply, I just emailed the info.
we need to purchase a quantity of 48 copies of Text Edge
how do we do this?
40 Mac, 8 PC
the Pay pal page is set to a qunatity of 1
Hello Michael. Please use the add to cart button. You can change the quantity in the cart. Just don’t forget to update the cart before checking out. If you still have questions, please contact me via email (menu -> info -> contact c4dtools.net).
Hello. I am just a beginner in using Cinema4. If I buy this Text Edge , would you, please, be so kind to create a logo for me? Thnk’s a lot anyway!
Robert I appreciate your hussel but right now we are quite busy with our client work and cannot. If you get in touch with us I’m sure we can answer a few questions about design or technical aspects that will help you design your own.
Thanks,

Hi,
I just purchased your Text Edge FX v.1 and followed the instructions on correct install…. however when I go to my content browser and click on either spline or text option I continually get this warning below:
Several plugins used in this scene are missing.
Saving may cause loss of plugin data!
Plugin ‘Physical’ (ID 1023342)
I did notice it is an option selected in render settings…. I am using R12 on a Mac using.
Look forward to you reply, Justin
Justin I think I have left some render settings in the plugin for R13 on accident. We’ll fix that soon. Get in touch on twitter @samwelkertv if you have any more questions :)
Hey just purchased Text Edge Fx and I’m a little stumped on changing presets or custom bevels. I got it to load just fine, and put in the library browser. Don’t see where I can change the profile of edge ? Probably user error I’m sure of it. And yes I’m running R13 Mac :)
Thanks
nevermind… I’m a complete idiot !!
No worries, Jason! :) Let me know if you have any other questions! Cheers!
Hi Edward .. Just purchased this
and it great! but how do I get the sound-effector to scale the text
Regards
flemming
Hi Flemming!
As of right now, Text Edge FX does not automatically work with mograph (a solution is in development & should be released soon), but there is a workaround for now.
1. Make a Text Edge FX object for each letter of your word.
2. Make an instance of each TEFX object
3. Throw the original referenced TEFX objects into a null and turn off the visibility of the null.
4. Throw all the TEFX Instance letters into a Fracture Object
5. Apply your mograph effectors to that Fracture object.
If you have any further questions, don’t hesitate to e-mail me directly at eyedesyn (at) mac (dot) com.
Thanks!
Okay..thanks
Any Idear of when a update will be ready ?
REGARDS .. AND 5 stars
great great plugin. maybe in the next release you can automate the “flushing” of bevel with the objects so we wont have to eyeball it everytime…. excellent product once again and the most fun one so far…
Could you please explain what you mean by flushing? I’ll do what I can.
I think he means making the bevel go flush up against the main face of the text. As it is now, based on watching the description vid, is you create the bevel and then need to manually adjust it to sit flush up against the text.
Thanks Umer! We have plans for just those types of things in the future! It’s only version 1, we have big plans for future releases! Stay tuned! :) Thanks for business!
Your kind assistance, please.
I can not work out how to install either the Text Edge FX or PyDeformer add-ons.
I have created folders under plug-ins, and extracted the files to their respective folders, but no joy.
Cheers,
Dave
Dave,
Your download should include a ZIP folder. Use 7zip or a utility like it to “unzip” that download. That should result in a folder with the same name as the one you downloaded. Simply move that entire folder into your “Programs>MAXON>your version>plugins”.
This process applies to Plugins only. I can’t speak for EJ’s offering though. If it is Xpresso based the process will vary.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have further problems! If you look at the top of the product page, there is a link that says “Go to the Developers profile page”. If you click that, there will be a “Contact” tab at the top of our profile pages.
Also, feel free to drop a line in the comments of the product page as well.
I hope that this helps!
-Marc Pearson
Hey Dave, sorry for the troubles. The current released version should be a .c4d file that you just drag and drop into your scenes, we’ll be updating it very soon with a .lib4d file (a much more proper approach).
Feel free to go to our developer’s page and get in touch or hit me up on twitter @samwelkertv. I’m here to help as we keep improving this bad boy.
Also make sure you’re in R12 or R13, that is a requirement for the file.
