UNSOLVED Switch render engine to Redshift (In memory)

Hi Guys,

I prepared a scene in memory and like to render this now with Redshift. To do this I need to switch from the standard render engine to Redshift.

A simple:

rd = doc.GetActiveRenderData()
rdata[c4d.RDATA_RENDERENGINE] = 1036219
c4d.EventAdd()

Is not working and it will just use the Standard render engine, I think because I need to set the VideoPost.

I can get this by using:

def GetRedshift(rd):
    rs = rd.GetFirstVideoPost()
    while rs and rs.GetType() != 1036219:       
        rs = rs.GetNext()
    return rs

And trying to set it with InsertVideoPost but no luck. Maybe I'm completely on the wrong path.

Can anybody help me do this.

Thank you!

Hi you need to insert the video post as shown in the C++ manual - Redshift Renderer - Set Render Engine to Redshift, adapting it to Python should be pretty straightforward.

Have a nice weekend.

Thank you Maxime!

This was the part I needed, i was looking in the right direction.

redshiftVideoPost = c4d.documents.BaseVideoPost(PID_REDSHIFT_RENDER_ENGINE)
            print("RedshiftVideoPost: ", redshiftVideoPost)
            # Insert the Redshift video post plugin.
            rdata.InsertVideoPost(redshiftVideoPost)

Have a great weekend!

Hi @everyone,

just as an FYI, the example is slightly outdated. With 2023.0.0 or newer, there is no need to manually define a symbol for the Redshift renderer, as one can use the newly exposed VPrsrenderer symbol (c4d.VPrsrenderer in Python).

I have updated the C++ example.

Cheers,
Ferdinand
