About Cactus Dan

Daniel K. Libisch AKA “Cactus Dan” created a set of plug-ins for Cinema 4D called CD Tools. These plug-ins were invaluable for character rigging within Cinema 4D. Cactus Dan had a fantastic personality, he was in love with the cowboy lifestyle and spent his last few years exploring the Utah desert on horseback, taking in the sights and making the most of life.

Dan was completely self-taught. He taught himself programming, calculus, matrix maths, PHP and all the ins and outs of Cinema 4D to create these plugins and live the life he always wanted.

Dan had always wanted to live self-sufficiently, and the sales of CD Tools enabled him to do this. The last few years of his life seemed to be his happiest, as one his best friends mention ‘he had finally found his home’.

Cactus Dan passed away September 20th 2016 at Castleview Hospital, Utah aged 61. Dan never seemed to dream of being rich. His drive was the ability to live the way he’d managed to; self-sufficiently, with stunning views and a little pasture for his horses.
