Hi,

Not quite directly a revision of your code but this should help you get started.

import c4d
from c4d import gui

# Main function
def main():
    cloner = doc.SearchObject("Cloner") # Assuming there is already a Cloner Mograph Object 
    plain_effector = doc.SearchObject("Plain")# Assuming there is already a Plain Effector Object 

    effector_list = c4d.InExcludeData()
    effector_list.InsertObject(plain_effector, 1)

    cloner[c4d.ID_MG_MOTIONGENERATOR_EFFECTORLIST] = effector_list
    c4d.EventAdd()


# Execute main()
if __name__=='__main__':
    main()

@Dunhou
I fork that redshift light manager last time.
https://github.com/bentraje/c4d_redshift_light_lister

I just change the minimum for it to work on the latest C4D versions.
It works on C4D 2023, last time I check, and on RS 3.5, but not all parameters are fully supported since I didn't refactor that much.

Cinema4D can accommodate plug-ins written in C++ or Python. However, it only accept scripts written in Python.

Probably not that helpful but there is an existing script for the C4D OBJ Sequence Exporter
https://richh.co/c4d-native-obj-sequence-export-no-plugins/

Hi @blieque

You can do is the Basic>Enable Checkbox in every object.
If you drag it to the console, the parameter is [c4d.ID_BASEOBJECT_GENERATOR_FLAG]

Thanks Adam for the confirmation.
I'll just send it for Maxon Suggestion for now.

Thanks!

Thanks @m_adam. Works as expected.
My bad, I was looking at the documentation hierarchy erroneously (i.e c4d > modules > graphview > GvNode)

Just a note: I think the if Multiply: line is supposed to be if isMultiply:.

Thanks again. Have a great day ahead!

Hi @m_adam

Thanks for the patience. Your suggestions and reminders works are greatly appreciated.

I guess the confusion stems mainly on my part because I posted slightly two different codes. You were responding to my initial post but I was thinking with the code from the succeeding post(the one in the rar file). Totally my bad.

Anyhow, here is the working code (using the initial post) which works as I expected:

import c4d

        self.height = None

        self.btn_id = None
        self.menu_list = None


    def create(self, dlg, w, h, color, btn_id):

        self.width = w
        self.height = h
        self.color = color
        self.btn_id = btn_id

        bmp_color = c4d.bitmaps.BaseBitmap()
        bmp_color.Init(w, h)

        for y in xrange(w):
            for x in xrange(h):
                bmp_color.SetPixel(x, y, color[0], color[1], color[2])

        bcBitmapButton = c4d.BaseContainer()

        bmp_btn = dlg.AddCustomGui(self.btn_id, c4d.CUSTOMGUI_BITMAPBUTTON, "", c4d.BFH_CENTER | c4d.BFV_CENTER, w, h, bcBitmapButton)

@r_gigante

Thanks for the reference.
For anyone trying to achieve the same,
here is a sample file.

Thanks again for @zipit for the help.

@m_magalhaes @zipit

I managed to flip the mesh (not necessarily a pose morph target since I'd have to know the API).
Anyhow, here is a demo of it working:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bh4p26s4m9qwljw/c4d272_flip_miror_mesh.mp4?dl=0

Here is wip script. It only works if the x-axis is dead set on 0.
Also, it is slow since it has to loop within a loop.

@ferdinand

Thanks as always for the explanation.
The illustration code works for my use case.
Will close now thread

In the method, GetSelectedNodes(graphModel, kind, callback) it requires a callback function.
Is there a way to make that optional?

I just want to store some nodes like a list like what it should return and do the processing later.

Is this possible?

Hi,

I tried checking out 2023 for brief time.
For some reason, the script manager behavior is different or might I say inferior than the previous version.

1. Open a script in script manager
2. Do some editing on an external ID.
3. Go back to C4D. It doesn't alert me that something has changed in the script.
   In the previous version, it says, "Would you like to reload the updated script?" or something like that.

Is there a way around this?

@m_adam

Gotcha. Thanks for the heads up!

@ferdinand

Thanks for response.

RE: added 2023.
I'm still at R25 so I can't use that route unfortunately.

Anyhow, I just settled on the GetId() which works the same way. It's just that doing a split method is bit awkward.

if node.GetId().split("@")[0] == 'texturesampler':

        texPort = node.GetInputs().FindChild("com.redshift3d.redshift4c4d.nodes.core.texturesampler.tex0")
        # do something more for the texPort

Hi,

I'm trying to write a script that modify the selected nodes only if the node is an RS Texture node. And the way I can know if its an RS Texture Node is if it has the tex0 attribute (see below)

My logic is something like this:

rs_texture_node = node.GetInputs().FindChild("com.redshift3d.redshift4c4d.nodes.core.texturesampler.tex0")

if rs_texture_node.IsValid():
       # Do something here

It works if the node selected is a texture node but throws a ValueError: no target to copy for '<net.maxon.graph.interface.graphmodel>' if its otherwise.

Which I don't get. It's either the node/port is valid or not. Why throw an error?

Probably need to modify your thread title. Too generic. Too vague.

Anyhow, I think what you are looking for is what I was trying to achieve in this thread:
https://plugincafe.maxon.net/topic/14259/reset-rotate-with-compensate-points/4

For some fortunate happpenstance, found a code snippet that does this:

@manuel

Gotcha. Thanks for the confirmation. Closing this thread now.

@lawzy

Have you used the token available in render settings?
For example $camera.
It will be renamed with the current camera used for every frame, which I assume changes for every frame on your scene.
