Hi Manuel,

Thank you. I've been expecting this. Hope such support will be added sooner or later :)

Hello,
We are using Cineware SDK, 22.0_355130, C++, to read c4d files into our application.
Now we started to read take data in hope to read multiple animations assigned to objects.

File is simple - one object with two takes. Each has it's own set of animations.
We can get cineware::TakeData and can retrieve tree or BaseTake, with names. Exactly the same as in Cinema4D UI.

Now the problems:

• We can't get anything from BaseTake. All methods for all objects and all takes returns nothing: GetOverrideGroups - returns empty array. take->FindOverride () - returns NULL.
• TakeData::SetCurrentTake - doesn't work with any take. It returns true, but GetCurrentTake returns old take. I had a hope that I can just set another current take and read right animations.
• When we read this file with many takes we are getting memory leaks. Even without any data processing on our side.
  Surprisingly, leaks are related to reading of OverrideData :) Part of the stack is below:

cineware::MemAlloc(__int64 size) Line 24	C++
cineware::DescID::operator=(const cineware::DescID & src) Line 119	C++
cineware::DescID::DescID(const cineware::DescID & src) Line 21	C++
cineware::BaseOverrideData::Read(cineware::HyperFile * hf, int id, int level) Line 145	C++
cineware::PluginNode::HandleSubChunk(cineware::HyperFile * hf, int id, int level) Line 281	C++
cineware::PrivateChunk::ReadChunk(cineware::HyperFile * hf, bool keepin, bool noheader) Line 39	C++

This is the code to extract array of takes (it works as expected):

void C4Import::EnummTakesImp(cineware::BaseTake*take)
{
	AnimationData*ad=(AnimationData*)m_mem->AllocZ(sizeof(AnimationData));
	ad->take=take;
	m_animations->Insert(ad);
	const UInt16 *out_ptr;
	const cineware::String&str=take->GetName();
	UINT32 len=str.GetDataPtr(&out_ptr);
	if(len)
	{
		ad->name=(wchar_t*)m_mem->AllocZ((len+1)*sizeof(wchar_t));
		memcpy(ad->name,out_ptr,len*sizeof(wchar_t));
		ad->name[len]=0;
	}

	BaseTake*takeDown=take->GetDown();
	while(takeDown)
	{
		EnummTakesImp(takeDown);
		takeDown=takeDown->GetNext();
	}

};
void C4Import::EnummTakes()
{
	BaseTake*bt=m_take->GetMainTake();
	if(bt)
	{
		m_animations=Array::Create();
		EnummTakesImp(bt);
	}
};

This is the code to find overrides:

BaseList2D*base=(BaseList2D*)_node->object_c4d;
	if(base && m_animations)
	{
		for(int i=0;i<m_animations->count;i++)
		{
			AnimationData*ad=(AnimationData*)m_animations->At(i);
			BaseOverride*over= ad->take->FindOverride(m_take, base);
			if(over)
			{
				int idbg=0;
				idbg++;
			}
		}
	}

Should I do something extra in order to enable reading of overrides? Or may be required functionality is disabled in this SDK?

Thank you in advance.
Alex
