In a Mograph Phython Effector I want to read the size of the individual clones in order to adjust the position to line them up without gaps.

I tried to get the size with GetArray(c4d.MODATA_SIZE) but always get None back. MODATA_MATRIX, MODATA_COLOR, etc works pretty well, just SIZE appears to be broken.

Is this actually an error or do I make something wrong?

Cheers,
Gerhard

yeah, it seems to be broken (suprise , suprise :D), used a script tag to eliminate possible
effectpor bugs. however you can read the matrix, so you have access to the size in this way.

import c4d
from c4d import documents, modules
from c4d.modules import mograph as m
#Welcome to the world of Python
  
  
def main() :
    md = m.GeGetMoData(doc.GetActiveObject() )
    print md.GetArray(c4d.MODATA_MATRIX)

Hi,

this is not broken. MOGRAPH_SIZE is used only by the MoGraph Matrix object. Use MODATA_MATRIX instead and you have all information you need.

Hi Sebastian, can you please explain how to get the size of the clone from the MODATA_MATRIX?
do you have to normalize the vectors?

Thanks!

it is just like for any other matrix in c4d

v0 (sx, 0, 0)
v1 ( 0,sy, 0)

v2 ( 0, 0,sz)

sx,sy,sz is the size vector.
