SOLVED Apply Substance Preset with no User Input.

I would like to apply a substance preset (.sbsprs) using the python API. I can use c4d.CallCommand(1038417) to open the Substance asset manager but it just opens up file explorer to allow me to select and apply a .sbsprs file. I want to be able to run my script with no user input (just a hardcoded filepath to the substance preset file). Is it possible to apply the substance preset using just python?

I am using Cinema 4D R23.110 and Redshift. Thanks!

while we have a module for substance available in python it is not possible to apply presets with it (without dialog). Even with C++ it's not possible

But Substance asset are BaseList2D so you can change the parameters:

    substance = c4d.modules.substance.GetFirstSubstance(doc)
    if substance is None:
        raise RuntimeError("Failed to retrieve the first substance (most likely there is no substance).")
    #change the resolution to 16x16
    substance[10000] = 4 
    substance[10001] = 4
    
    c4d.EventAdd()
