@m_adam it's strange, but this small script works fine without any problems with cinema 4d s22. cinema 4d r20 show this error only.

Hi @wob there is noting built-in for that in Cinema 4D. but you can use the regular python way to kill the current process import signal import os os.kill(os.getpid(), signal.SIGTERM) But I just let you know, that it may be useless by nature python should be pretty good at not creating any memory leak, and should free the data as soon as possible, moreover your approach ( I don't know the whole pipeline) but may also be a big issue for a user since this will clause Cinema 4D without asking for saving. People may lose their work. So I really encourage you to be very careful with the use of this. Cheers, Maxime.

Hi @wob unfortunately this is not possible, c4dpy is a regular Cinema 4D executed as command line with the NoGui, and as all NoGui Cinema 4D execution, GeDialog is disabled. So its a limitation, and as said by zipit there is no Tkinter shipped with Cinema 4D in order to force people to use Cinema 4D dialog. So possible workarounds are: Install pip and install any 3rd party GUI module (but this is not officially supported by Cinema 4D so you may have some odd issues, but it should work). Execute a python script before from a system python installation that will create the Dialog and later execute c4dpy to do the Cinema 4D work. Cheers, Maxime.

Hey Guys! I think I figured it out! Will resoond if there's any questions! Cheers! MattG

Hi Manual, Thanks for your help! Next time I will use the 'ask question' when posting a question. You code does exactly what I need, much appreciated! Cheers, Martijn

@m_magalhaes Thanks. Next time I will follow the instruction. Thanks

Hi @Fransua welcome in the plugincafe community. Do not worry since it's your first post but please read and follow these rules (I've setup your post correctly) How to Post Questions especially the tagging part. Q&A New Functionality. Unfortunately, a complete list is not available for the moment. But if you are looking only for object there is this page Object Types and Fields Object Types which refer to all symbols available to describe an object. To know a specific object id, you can drag and drop this object/element to the console, for more information see Python Console, Scene Elements. Finally, you can also retrieve for the full list of id by their type with c4d.plugins.FilterPluginList Cheers, Maxime.

@m_adam Great info. Thanks Maxime!

Thank you very much guys! I think that plugin will be better solution then script in this case. Cheers

This issue is now fixed in R21. Cheers, Maxime.

Hi @WickedP, actually all the drawing stuff is done in the main thread. In the next topic, you can find all the information about how the scene playback could be done in python https://plugincafe.maxon.net/topic/10292/13784_playpause-control-via-python/3. If you have any question please let me know, and be more specific about what you try to achieve. Cheers, Maxime.

Because you didn't insert the actual renderer: InsertVideoPost() BaseVideoPost

Thank you! In future I will set the tags.

@s_bach, thank you, I'll start to do some hard reading!

@c4ds, don’t worry! Every steps (even the off-road one) make some progress, right? I appreciate the way you focusing on the problem solving, which I believe is also the wonderful thing of this forum: we do our best to solving the problem itself, discussing about the better/more accurate answers rather than “who is right, who is wrong”. Last but not least, thank you for taking time to reply! ;)
