Quick Copy Paste (Blender, Maya, C4D)

Quick CopyPaste – this is small tool which allow you transfer geometry between software like Autodesk Maya, Maxon C4D, Blender 3D

C4D has some issue with Exporter. If you have any problem with CopyPaste, after start c4d to do export any object to obj file, after that copyPaste will work properly. ( Going to have conversation with c4d devs about this bug)
