STL is a generic file format for storing 3D and CAD data created by 3D Systems, a 3D printing technology called stereolitography. STL file stores 3D object data in text or binary format.
C4D files store 3D models created with Cinema 4D, a professional 3D modeling and rendering software. Cinema 4D offers many advanced tools for creating and animating 3D models and their environments, including lighting and texturing.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the STL file after converting to C4D may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from STL to C4D to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting STL to C4D does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in STL format, properly converted to a C4D file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file STL the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of STL file to other than C4D. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your STL file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to C4D on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the STL file in its original format (without conversion to C4D file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
