  @blastframe sorry no there is nothing for a GeDialog, if you are in a GeDialog, your best bet is within the GeDialog's CoreMessage, listen for EVMSG_CHANGE and figured out if the generator changed or not. @indexofrefraction print will require a redraw as soon as possible, and most important this will consume all messages. So is it nice? Not really but I guess you don't have other choices. Cheers, Maxime.

  hi, we got some information in our documentation. For example you can't add an object in the document from a tag while the generator can return a hierarchy. But you can easily draw information on the viewport with a tag. Cheers, Manuel

  @m_adam Thanks. I gave that a shot, but unfortunately, it's still adding multiple copies of the same camera. Am I doing something wrong? docs = c4d.documents doc = docs.GetActiveDocument() cams = getSelectedCameras(doc.GetActiveObjects(0)) path = doc.GetDocumentPath() cFile = path + '\\' + fName queue = docs.GetBatchRender() queue.Open() base = doc.GetActiveBaseDraw() for cam in cams: docs.LoadDocument(cFile, c4d.SCENEFILTER_OBJECTS | c4d.SCENEFILTER_MATERIALS) base.SetSceneCamera(cam) docs.SaveDocument(doc, cFile, c4d.SAVEDOCUMENTFLAGS_DONTADDTORECENTLIST, c4d.FORMAT_C4DEXPORT) queue.AddFile(cFile, queue.GetElementCount())

  @r_gigante said in SDK for node based materials, status?: With regard to your question, we confirm that at the moment there are no news concerning this topic but, again, we are aware of the relevance of the request and it will be delivered accordingly to our product development plan. Thanks! On a related note: Is there any statement from MAXON on the future of the old xpresso-style node system? We are looking to implement a node-system in our plugin, and since API for the new node system is not out yet we may consider using the legacy xpresso API instead. On the other hand, it would not be a good idea to invest resources in this if that part of the SDK might be deprecated and replaced with the new node system. I realize that you may not be able to provide much info on the roadmap here, but any information that you can give would be super helpful for making this decision! Cheers /Filip

  Hi Frank, sorry for coming late to the party, the API changed within the R21 where by default the icon is not more filled because it's up to you to fill it with what you need. Just in case for other people, not interested in C++ (since the manual is pretty obvious) there is a Python example in Where you can have custom icons, you can find an example of how to achieve custom icon within Python in py-custom_icon_r21.pyp. Cheers, Maxime.

  hi, I've asked the devs. We should have everything needed to do what you want. Encrypting file is builtin with maxon::Url scheme. There's already several algorithm, you just have to specify your CryptoKey. When you create a logger to a file (or it could be a web server), you attach it to a maxon::Url, it should be automatically encrypted. But that's not working and that's why I've asked the devs. I don't know if it's a limitation or a bug. What I wanted to do was create a maxon::LoggerType::EncryptedFile(), but I don't see how to do this. as i said, the encrypted part should be done by the maxon::Url (streaming) part Cheers, Manuel

  hi, I didn't tested it, but that's probably the result of the c++ function. So fixing it for the c++ function will fix it for python. I don't know if you can access easily __file__ from c++ and python's object. Cheers, Manuel

  Hi: It feels like a good question, otherwise I wouldn't have known that XPresso had this problem.I think your problem is that XPresso Tag adds links to user data.If you add user data links to Python nodes, you will have no problem putting splines in the links.Or drag the spline directly to XPresso manager, output the object, there will be no problem. import c4d #Welcome to the world of Python def main(): #global spline global obj global time spline = op[c4d.ID_USERDATA,1] if spline != None: SplineHelp = c4d.utils.SplineHelp() SplineHelp.InitSpline(spline) offset = SplineHelp.GetOffsetFromReal(time, 0) pos = SplineHelp.GetPos(offset) #print(pos) obj.SetAbsPos(pos)

  Hmmmm, well, on the one hand this function is a nice thing: It really does do the escaping for me, so the spaces in the URL are correctly replaced with "%20". But it does not handle anchors in a URL. This URL works fine: file:///Applications/Maxon/Cinema 4D R22/plugins/myplugin/help/content/omyobject/omyobject.html But this URL is not opened, instead an error (code -43) is thrown: file:///Applications/Maxon/Cinema 4D R22/plugins/myplugin/help/content/omyobject/omyobject.html#MYOBJECT_ATTRIBUTE That is a pity.

  The distinction between pixel color and contribution of the ray to the pixel really helps clear things up. Thanks for all the help :)
