Hello and thanks for the question, First, for your next threads, please help us keeping things organised and clean. I know it's not your priority but it really simplify our work here. Q&A New Functionality. How to Post Questions especially the tagging part. Regarding your question i'm afraid there's no solution than what @mp5gosu already talked about. (thanks for your post) If you are creating a rendering pipeline i would definitely have a look at the melange SDK if you are not afraid of c++ (and there's absolutely no reason to be afraid). Don't be afraid to ask questions here. There's no equivalent to Melange in python. As i said, other than going through all objects in the scene and collect informations you want to export and finally export it to the format you want (using xml module in python for example) there's no built in solution. Sorry about the bad new .. i've marked this thread as a question so when you considered it as solved, please change the state :) Cheers Manuel

Don't feel sorry yes this is the issue and since Knot ID are not ordered from right to left but from creation order its why it's confused you. Moreover, using a for loop will make way more sense and help you to avoid this kind of stuff. grad1 = shdr1[c4d.SLA_GRADIENT_GRADIENT] grad2 = shdr2[c4d.SLA_GRADIENT_GRADIENT] for knotId in xrange(grad1.GetKnotCount()): knot = grad1.GetKnot(knotId) grad2.InsertKnot(col=knot['col'], pos=knot['pos'],index=knot['index']) grad2.FlushKnots() shdr2[c4d.SLA_GRADIENT_GRADIENT] = grad2 Finally, a BaseShader is derived from BaseList2D which is derived from C4DAtom that mean you can use GetClone to retrieves a clone of this shader so your code can look like. import c4d def main(): mat = doc.GetFirstMaterial() colorShader = mat[c4d.MATERIAL_COLOR_SHADER] if colorShader is None: return copyColor = colorShader.GetClone() mat[c4d.MATERIAL_DIFFUSION_SHADER] = copyColor mat.InsertShader(copyColor) mat.Message(c4d.MSG_UPDATE) mat.Update(True, True) c4d.EventAdd() # Execute main() if __name__=='__main__': main() Cheers, Maxime.

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 panney, thanks for reaching out us. With regard to the issue you're experiencing, it's pretty likely that the cause is a different revision between the c4dpy executable and the Cinema 4D revision. Please be sure that they both matches (20.059 c4dpy is available here). Last but not least, here you can find more detail on the c4dpy executable. Best, R.

Shouldn't STEP be used to set this precision? Or is there a limit for STEP?

Yeah, definitely. When porting old code that I didn't write to new C4D releases, I always add lots of comments, so people who come after me won't have the same problems ;-)

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.

Hi, I updated the previous script to fix the issue. The main problem was in GetCloneSpline in order to make a clone of the object (a Current state to object) you need to insert it into a document, but I inserted it (the tracer) into a new document, so the tracer lost its link with its particle emitter and result in an empty tracer. Inserting the clone directly into the correct document fix the issue (see line 120 and 133 for the cleanup) I also fixed another issue regarding position while making an object editable. There is actually a bug in the Tracer object and the command make object editable, if it's set to global position mode. The last point will be in the generator space so that means it will break the curve if the tracer and op are not in 0,0,0.. Unfortunately, nothing can be done here, but editing the tracer object first then the generator makes it works, or you can use Current State To Object command instead. Cheers, Maxime.

thanks solved: self.data = {'sphere_size': 15, 'extension_ratio': 1, 'extend_vector': False} kind regards

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.

Thank you for your answer. That was exactly what I was looking for. John Thomas

Hello @r_gigante Thank you for your time and answer. I will try the other way then. Best, Ogers

Thanks Sebastian. I did not realize it was a generator. Couldn't find it mentioned in the docs. However I was searching for VolumeLoader in the docs and on here, and I think the official docs searching system doesn't always return the results. Anyway, all good now. Thanks again.

Thanks, Andreas! I was looking for interface_icons_2x for a while

Hi @lasselauch as @mp5gosu this is a urrlib2 issue and we can't provide support on this topic. Moreover, if you have more questions (while I think everything is said), please open a new thread since while the overall topic is related, the question and issue are different. Cheers, Maxime.

Hi Ogers, thanks for reaching us. With regard to your question, I need some further explanation since I actually don't get what you mean by: to get these parameters from c4d lights Which parameters are you referring to? What is the final intent of the Light Translator plugin? Best, Riccardo

Hello. The problem was that I didn't add the definitions. iferr_scope; signal = maxon::ConditionVariableRef::Create() iferr_return; Thank you for your time and sorry for that :(

Hi @a_block Thank you for your answer.

Hi Riccardo, Thanks for the first response. My bad with not catching that it was a layer shader bug, I figured I had done something wrong with the sampling. I'll start looking into the other projection samplings. Dan

Hello, Thanks for the responses. I thought that this might be the case and just wanted to clarify it before moving forward. John Thomas
