Hi,
i want to add a custom object buffer to my render settings.
i was only able to add an "empty" channel yet. maybe there is some issue in the GetDataInstance() - using the wrong object or something similar.
add custom object buffer

buffer = c4d.BaseList2D(c4d.Zmultipass)

this seems not to be enough to initialize the channels as a Object Buffer. Maybe there is some kind of init function needed?

is there anyway to remove an object buffer from the multipass list? I only saw functions for adding
Thanks!

The MP gui is a tree gui gizmo similar to the OM gui.
You can traverse through it the same way you traverse through the OM tree. And get one of the children.
Then you can edit or delete that specific child object.
#This is how to delete a specific Object Buffer
import c4d
def main() :
rd = doc.GetActiveRenderData() #Get the render settings
mp = rd.GetFirstMultipass() #Get the first Multi-Pass item
#The Multi-Pass option is a tree gui type gizmo like the OM tree
#Use GetNext() to step down to get each child object in the tree
#Either one at a time...or with a loop
if mp.GetTypeName() == "Object Buffer": #<---The topmost object in the tree gizmo
firstBuffer = mp
secondBuffer = mp.GetNext()
thirdBuffer = secondBuffer.GetNext()
if secondBuffer is not None: secondBuffer.Remove()
rd.Message(c4d.MSG_UPDATE) #Tell c4d you changed the render settings
c4d.EventAdd()
