What It Does
ArabicText C4D solves a specific problem: Cinema 4D can’t handle Arabic or Farsi text natively. These languages flow right-to-left, and their letters change shape depending on position in a word. Simply reversing English text doesn’t work because the letter connections break.
This plugin handles both the directional flow and the medial letterforms (the shape changes that happen when letters connect). You can create text objects or vector output directly in Cinema 4D without preprocessing in another app.
Who It’s For
Motion designers working on projects that include Arabic or Farsi typography. If you’ve tried typing Arabic into Cinema 4D and ended up with backwards disconnected letters, this fixes it.
