Installation
As the CC4D Tools are just a collection of a few scripts and two .c4d files there a few ways to 'install' them. For Cinema 4D R25 and higher the quickest way is to copy the scripts to the user preferences scripts folder and use the 'Import Assets' function of the Asset Browser and for Cinema 4D R21 - R24 it can be installed through the legacy Content Browser.
Asset Browser - Import Assets (R25+)
Download the provided ZIP file and extract it
In Cinema 4D open the Preferences Window by clicking Edit > Preferences
Open the user preferences folder by clicking the Open Preferences Folder button at the bottom of the Preferences Window
Inside the preferences folder go into the library > scripts folder
copy the CC4D_Tools folder located inside the scripts folder of the extracted ZIP contents into the user preferences library > scripts folder
restart Cinema 4D
Open up the Asset Browser and click Create > Import Assets
Choose the CC4D_tools.zip located inside the assetBrowser Folder of the extracted archive contents and click Open
Choose the database you want to import it into and click OK
This will create a CC4D_tools category wich holds the CC4D_CTRL-RIG and the CC4D_FACE-RIG as well as four subcategories for the Visual Selector background images, the Character Definition presets, the material templates and the tools palette
Double click the palette to open it up and dock it somewhere into the layout
Content Browser (Legacy) (R21 - R24)
Download the provided ZIP file and extract it
In Cinema 4D open the Preferences Window by clicking Edit > Preferences
Open the user preferences folder by clicking the Open Preferences Folder button at the bottom of the Preferences Window

Inside the Content Browser you will now find a CC4D_Tools preset library wich holds the CC4D_CTRL-RIG and the CC4D_FACE-RIG as well as two subfolders for the tools palette and the visual selector background images
Double click the palette to open it up and dock it somewhere into the layout
