Solved Getting a polygonal version of an animated mesh

O need to get a polygonal version of any object wthat is animated (with keyframes or deformers).
My code, so far, is:

        curr_time = c4d.BaseTime(frame_start,doc_fps) + c4d.BaseTime(x,doc_fps)
        doc.AnimateObject(op,curr_time, c4d.ANIMATEFLAGS_NONE)
        doc.SetTime(curr_time)

        c4d.EventAdd(c4d.EVENT_FORCEREDRAW)
        c4d.DrawViews(c4d.DRAWFLAGS_FORCEFULLREDRAW)

        bc = c4d.BaseContainer()
        bc[c4d.MDATA_CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT_INHERITANCE] = True
        bc[c4d.MDATA_CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT_KEEPANIMATION] = True
        bc[c4d.MDATA_CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT_NOGENERATE] = False
        bc[c4d.MDATA_CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT_LOD] = 1.0
        bc[c4d.MDATA_CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT_BUILDFLAGS] = c4d.BUILDFLAGS_NONE

        clone_op = op.GetClone(flags=c4d.COPYFLAGS_NONE)

        res = c4d.utils.SendModelingCommand(command = c4d.MCOMMAND_CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT,
                                        list=[clone_op],
                                        mode=c4d.MODELINGCOMMANDMODE_ALL,
                                        bc=bc,
                                        doc=doc,
                                        flags=c4d.MODELINGCOMMANDFLAGS_NONE)

But the resulting object(s) inside the res list, seem to only result in the non-animated object.
How can I get the animated/deformed mesh?

Hi @rui_mac please make sure to post in the correct category, for anything related to Cinema 4D please post into the CINEMA 4D DEVELOPMENT category (I've moved your topic)
Also, make sure to use the tagging system.

In regards to your code, few things to say.
First, there is no loop over time (so you never change the time of the current document)
Moreover, when you clone the object, the returned object is not inserted into any document so even if you copy an object with these animation data they are lost since there is no document to define the time.

Finally, a more suited approach is to use BaseObject.GetDeformCache which store the deformed state of an object.
Find an example here, I also attached a scene, select the cloner run the script it will create a Null based on the position of each clone

    - Retrieves all the deformed mesh from the selected object
    - Creates a Null for each frame at the position of point 88 of all deformed mesh

Class/method highlighted:
    - BaseObject.GetDeformCache()

If you have any question, please let me know.
Cheers,

Well, I do have a loop but I just pasted the code that would, hopefully, perform the calculation.
And I did tried the GetDeformCache approach, but my mistake was, in fact the cloning of the object.
Thank you so much for the code, Adam.
