Hi @x_nerve, thank you for reaching out to us. The most straightforward way to sample a FieldObject is FieldObject.Sample; there are also other sample methods attached to the various fields related classes, most notably c4d.FieldList. We have two examples in the Python SDK examples which showcase field sampling, fieldlist_sampling_r20 and fieldobject_sampling_20. You also mention "Is there a way to get the weight of the cube field points?"; you are probably aware of this, but since your phrasing could imply otherwise, it seems noteworthy to point out that fields are not discrete. So in other words, there is no finite amount of points you can exhaustively sample for a field object, since the object is non-discrete. You have to pick a point or a set of points you want to sample for a field object, which can be any point in in the value range c4d.Vector can handle. If there are any questions left, please do not hesitate to ask. Cheers, Ferdinand

Hi, without further feedback, we will consider this thread as solved by tomorrow and flag it accordingly. Cheers, Ferdinand

@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())

@m_magalhaes Thank you for reply. I am going to use it for this project. Hope it gets fixed soon. Thank you.

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)

@m_adam Thanks for clarifying!

hi, I've moved the answer about the output path to this thread Cheers, Manuel

hello, I will consider this thread as solved without new information from you :) Cheers, Manuel

Hi Riccardo, Thank you for the detailed answer. With the many options available, I chose one that fits best with our installer. Again, thanks for the help! Maxime

Thank you @m_adam it's really helpful! I was going to a wrong direction. I chose to do a project that has every new aspect to explore :)) I will for sure disturb you in future with my questions. I appreciate your suggestions. Parvin

@a_block Hi Andreas, Thanks for your help and you are never too late! That actually makes more sense. Unfortunately I can't seem to replicate the issue again on my machine, as it seems that it's been working for all my updates. I will have a look on one of my team machines when released and see if that could be the problem. Thank you again!

Hi @SolarPH please open a new topic with your code and the exact error. Cheers, Maxime.

The mode specifies how data can be read from the Morph Tag. By default, they are presented in a compact way (aka only modified points are stored for some internal optimization). But if you SetMode with c4d.CAMORPH_MODE_FLAGS_ALL | c4d.CAMORPH_MODE_FLAGS_EXPAND then all the points are then readable from outside of the morph Tag. I adapted the Python documentation to match the C++ documentation so it will be available in the next documentation update. But I would say the C++ documentation for SetMode is pretty self-explanatory, what is the part you don't understand? Cheers, Maxime.

@m_adam Wow, this is truly great. What a fantastically written response, I really appreciate it! Learning a bunch from this example, way more than I asked for. Thanks again Jenny P.S. if only the py4d documentation had examples like this, we would all be better programmers

Ah I think you're right - I take the object right from the document without a clone or anything. Thank you!

Hey @darrellp as you figured out, it was not on the correct category. But in any case don't worry, maybe I was too harsh and unprecise, I'm sorry about that but in the end, as I said, you are new here, so don't worry if you break the posting rules the first times :)

Hi zhhm156, so for coming late here, but it took more than expected. After getting in contact with the team in charge of the development and making some further researches, it appears that the VerifyServerOnClient function is indeed deprecated. I'll get back on this discussion in the future to notify about potential workaround to achieve a similar functionality. Best, Riccardo
