Hello everybody.For a use in a game 3D engine, I need to retrieve the UV coordinates of objects created in Cinema 4D, so after having read the COFFEE documentation and being helped by some old topics on this forum, I concluded that UV coords were stored in a VariableTag object in which the data array can be obtained using the GetData() function (and the size of the data array by the GetDataCount() function).
Maybe I'm wrong, but I think the UV coordinates are stored following the polygon order, that is to say : UVa, UVb, UVc, UVd for the 1st polygon, UVa, UVb, UVc, UVd for the 2nd polygon, etc...
But, when I try to get the UV coords of an object containing n polygons, the size of the data array I retrieve (known using GetDataCount()) is not 4*n (4 vertices * n polygons) but n, so I only get partially the UV data.I really don't know where I'm mistaking, and once again, I would appreciate some help from more experienced programmers than me.
Thank you.

I think GetDataCount() refers to the polygon count, not the actual array size. Have a look at the variable tag section in the docs.
The array should really be 4*n elements in size.. so just access the data as you intendend. I'm sure it will be alright.

Yes, you're right. Accessing more simply to the data without taking care of GetDataCount() was the solution.
Thank you very much.
