You can still use the old plugin folders in prefs, and the app folder, but these are no longer necessary.Since R20 there you to place a plugins anywhere, and load them in ad-hock via a plugin link in prefs.Usually each xdl64 or xlib will be named appropriately for the c4d version it should work in. An R20 plugin, will only work in R20 (20.059).Unfortunately, Cinema 4D now needs a different build for every R version of Cinema 4D. Most Cinema 4D plugins come as a simple zip file, which contains everything the plugin needs.
