Hello, Q2 : filterwhirl.cpp is a internal file you don't have access to it. And we don't have tutorials. (this comment will be removed to avoid confusion) Q3 : CallCommand should be use on the main thread, that's maybe why it's not working, you can use ExecuteOnMainThread in your job. Cheers, Manuel

Hi jhpark, thanks for reaching out us. Aside from the notes left by @blastframe - thanks dude for the remarks - I think it's worthy, thinking of a more generic scene, to mention the need BaseDocument::ExecutePasses() to be sure that everything is actually evaluated before querying the scene rather than the EventAdd() which serves a different scope. This function is responsible to execute the scene evaluation and, consequently to be sure that, moving from a frame to another, all the items in the scene reflect the changes imposed by the frame switch. The approach used by @blastframe actually operates on CTracks and key but, although this approach works fine for your specific case, when more evaluation dependencies are created in the scene you could easily end up in unexpected results. The code could then look like frames_count = 10 # [Set] frames counter for f in range(0, frames_count): doc.SetTime(c4d.BaseTime(f, doc.GetFps())) # evaluate the scene doc.ExecutePasses(None, True, True, True, c4d.BUILDFLAGS_NONE) obj = doc.SearchObject('Cube') # get object position x = int(obj.GetMg().off.x) y = int(obj.GetMg().off.y) z = int(obj.GetMg().off.z) # get object color r = int(obj[c4d.ID_BASEOBJECT_COLOR].x * 255) g = int(obj[c4d.ID_BASEOBJECT_COLOR].y * 255) b = int(obj[c4d.ID_BASEOBJECT_COLOR].z * 255) print("Frame = " + str(f) + ", (X,Y,Z) = " + str(x) + "," + str(y) + "," + str(z) + ", RGB = " + str(r) + "," + str(g) + "," + str(b))

Hello, just FYI: you find information on how to access individual characters from a string in the manual: String Manual Also, one of our examples includes checking the ASCII value of a given character: streamconversion_impl.cpp If your question has been answered, please mark your thread as a question and set it to "solved". best wishes, Sebastian

Thanks for the update Frank. Looking at your "resolutions" I think that the actions you took were responsible, in the first case, to clean the existing derived data for the R20 project, whilst in the second, to refresh the DerivedData subfolder where the newly re-created R21 project was supposed to store intermediate files. Please keep us updated and for the mean time I'm going to set this thread as solved. Cheers

Thanks @s_bach This is very helpful. Best wishes.

Hi, well, aside from the "at least I am done with it"-approach of just adding 24 hours to each license, there is the static method UniversalDateTime::FromValues() which should be close enough to a FromString(). There is also UniversalDateTime::GetNow(). But the description on that is a bit ambiguous. It says "Return[s] the current date-time object of the current time zone.", while the UniversalDateTime class description says "Class that represents the Universal date-time (UTC+0000)". Unless I am overlooking something here, I would say both cannot be true at the same time, and would expect UniversalDateTime::GetNow() to actually return the current time in UTC +0 (as a UniversalDateTime). The problem with DST is, that it is not anything truly predictable. While your problem could be rooted in a bug, there is a rich history of big organisations struggling with DST (Microsoft, Apple, etc.) and using DST makes you dependent on them maintaining their OS/services properly. On a more light-hearted note: When dealing with standardisation of human conventions I always have to think of this XKCD ;) Cheers zipit

Thank you, Ricardo! :-)

ok thanks for the info @m_adam.

Thanks @zipit, Managed to solve it thanks to you.

hello, So yes, you have to react to MSG_DESCRIPTION_POPUP, you can see an example on the nodedata manual I thought first you wanted to create a popup menu. Cheers, Manuel

Hi Frank, I've just been confirmed that the function will be exposed in the future. Best, Riccardo

@m_adam said in HTTP Requests with `maxon` API: Hi @dskeithbuck thanks a lot for trying to use the new Maxon API. Thank you so much for the working sample code, that answers my question. I look forward to switching over to the Maxon API for URL requests once these kinks get worked out.

Thank you for the help @m_magalhaes

@mp5gosu I have one last question. on the thread for custom nodes that you mentioned above there was a file which was posted from Niklas. https://raw2.github.com/PluginCafe/examples/master/treeview/custom-nodes/custom-nodes.cpp Since this file was not there anymore and most probably it was a full code of what I am asking for, can it be that you or someone else might have that file somehow? That would be a great help. Thank you.

Hi Ogers thanks for reaching out us. With regard to your request, I confirm that to deliver the desired functionality you've to stick to TreeView since it's not possible to disable items belonging to a SimpleListView. Cheers, Riccardo

hello @HectorSmallwood @HectorSmallwood said in Change LONG_CYCLE selected Item.: Assume that I have the following code, the Item with id 0 will be selected by default. Is there any way that I can change this? Like after a specific action the Item 1 will be selected? That's exactly what the code is doing in the Init() function using SetParameter(). You change the value of the parameter, the UI show the item with that value in the list. So by default the parameter value is 1 so the UI show the item with the value 1 "Item 1" If you want to change the item somewhere else, same thing just change the value of the parameter, the ui will follow. node->SetParameter(DescID(MY_CYCLE_ID), GeData(1), DESCFLAGS_SET::NONE); I'am adding an answer here as it is a related. But for your second question if the answer doesn't fit your need, please open a new thread and post your question in a new thread. That will help us to keep things organized. @HectorSmallwood said in Change LONG_CYCLE selected Item.: event to determine when the selected item in the ListBox is changed. If i understand the question, you have to check for MSG_DESCRIPTION_CHECKUPDATE message type in the Message() function as follow. virtual Bool Message(GeListNode* node, Int32 type, void* data) override { switch (type) { case MSG_DESCRIPTION_CHECKUPDATE : { DescriptionCheckUpdate* dcu = static_cast<DescriptionCheckUpdate*>(data); if (dcu == nullptr) return true; maxon::Int32 id = (*(dcu->descid))[0].id; if (id == MY_CYCLE_ID) { DiagnosticOutput("Cycle have been changed"); // ... do Something } break; } } return true; }; Cheers Manuel

Hello @m_adam I see, I will have to use one of the other alternatives then. Thank you.

As stated before, we are working on it and it will be released in the future. I can't say more. Regarding your question @Aaron this will be possible.

Hi @Ogers, unfortunately, there is no direct way to do so. The only working solution is to retrieves the host of the shader (using BaseList2D.GetMain) Then iterates the description of this element and all its children to see where the shader is used. Cheers, Maxime.
