Overseer 1.0.0 — the first stable release.
Keep your Cinema 4D scenes organized — clean names, tidy structure, no dead
weight. Every change is previewed first, applied per row or in bulk, undoable,
and logged.
Tested with Cinema 4D 2023 & 2024.
What it does
- Overview — dashboard with per-area health scores, size trends, a polygon treemap and a texture budget.
- Naming — normalizes names to your convention (casing, numbering, duplicates, kept special characters) with a live preview.
- Translate — rewrites names into your target language, via Google or offline dictionaries, with real source-language detection.
- Layers — gives every layerless object a layer, single or in one batch, and recolors the whole layer stack with an editable gradient — without moving anything.
- Materials — finds unused materials, oversized textures and missing maps — relink via file dialog, copy into the project, shrink in place, or clear dead refs.
- Tags — audits every tag: missing Phong tags, duplicate material tags, phong-angle spread with one-click alignment, and a grouped inventory with unified selection tags.
- Files — inventory of external references (Alembic, caches, IES, audio/video) with search, missing-file relink and accept, and absolute in-project paths made relative per row or in one step.
- Assets — searchable, sortable object inventory with batch actions (assign layer, move to group).
- Generators — compares settings across same-type generators (SDS subdivisions & co.) and aligns them in one undoable step.
- Sims — finds simulation setups that cost you silently: active on hidden objects, unbaked, or disabled leftovers.
- Misc — change history with revert and analysis history per scene.
