A 3PO Project — Cinema 4D Plugin
One scene.
Every variation.
Nothing lost.
C.H.R.O.N.O.S. lets you manage multiple versions of your scene — lighting setups, material states, object configurations, camera angles — as named, switchable Generations, all inside a single .c4d file. No duplicates. No manual tracking. No destructive changes.

One root. Infinite variations.
Start from a Blueprint — the immutable source of truth. Branch out into Generations that inherit live from their parent, or freeze them into sealed deliverables. The topology is yours to decide.
Flat or Deep
All Generations from one root — a star. Each inheriting from the last — a chain. Both at once, for different parts of the scene — a tree.
Blueprint
The immutable starting point, auto-created for every scene context. Every Generation traces its lineage back here. It never changes — that's the point.
Link
A Generation that lives inside its parent's value stream. Change the parent — every child that hasn't overridden that value updates automatically.
Bake
A Generation that captures a fully resolved state and freezes it. A lineage firewall for approved deliverables and client handoffs.
