ok! finally, it is imporant to use the doc to get the irs !
now it works.

irs = c4d.modules.render.InitRenderStruct(doc)

but question:
is this the only / best way to check if textures are missing?

an alternative would be to actually check if the file is existing somewhere in the given paths

I also just ran into this...
< R24 you dont have BaseList2D.IsNodeBased, but as a small hack you can do:

def isNodeMaterial(op):
  return True if op.GetType == c4d.Mmaterial and '[Node]' in op.GetBubbleHelp() else False

hi and thanks Maxime !

GetAllAssetsNew() is S22 only,
and I had problems with InitRender() and Vray Bitmaps

so I decided to manually check for the files...
I had it already, but GenerateTexturePath() shortens the code quite a bit, because I dont have to check all possible paths.

It seem GenerateTexturePath() returns the absolute path, if the file is found somewhere in the texture paths, otherwise it returns None.

needs some testing, but until now it seems to work well.

Hi,

Just FYI ...
I just noticed, that a Quicktab Radio UserData change results in two Messages (with the same UserData ID)
If I change the interface to Cycle, I get only one Message as expected for an UserData change.

This might be a tiny miny Bug (?)

Hi,

below is a simple CommandData plugin with a submenu to invoke different actions.

This works fine if more than one of these plugins (with unique Plugin Ids ofc) are in one plugin folder.
But there is no menu if there is only one plugin present in the folder.

Is there a way to create such a menu with one plugin, while not registering each menu point as separate command?

# encoding: utf-8

''' CommandData Plugin with Menu '''

import c4d 

PLUGIN_ID = 12345678  # Unique Plugin Id

MENUID_CMD0 = 1000
MENUID_CMD1 = 1001

class MenuHandler(c4d.plugins.CommandData):

	def Register(self):
		return c4d.plugins.RegisterCommandPlugin(
			id=PLUGIN_ID, str="Test", info=c4d.PLUGINFLAG_COMMAND_HOTKEY, icon=None, help=None, dat=MenuHandler())

	def GetSubContainer(self, doc, submenu):
		bc = c4d.BaseContainer()
		bc.SetString(1, "Test")
		bc.SetString(MENUID_CMD0, "Command 0")
		bc.SetString(MENUID_CMD1, "Command 1")
		submenu.InsData(0, bc)
		return True

	def ExecuteSubID(self, doc, id):
		if id == MENUID_CMD0:
			pass
		if id == MENUID_CMD1:
			pass
		return True

	def Execute(self, doc):
		return True

if __name__ == "__main__":
	MenuHandler().Register()

.-) hope it comes some day ...

3 years later ... the priority raise didn't help
without this it is impossible to create any kind "material editor" in python
it would be really nice if this could added somewhen !

... by the way ...
Do I have to re-init c4d.utils.SplineLengthData or c4d.utils.SplineHelp
if I insert or change points in a Spline ?
and ...
I miss a bit clarity in the documentation. Stupid questions maybe,
but what is a LineObject, and what are Segments exactly?
is that documented somewhere?
The SDK says nothing about such things.
The Manual neither.

Thanks Maxime,
so GetPointIndex() is the only thing you can work with, I guess.
Already on it to create this sampling function ...

nothing? ...

the only thing i can imagine is to sample the spline using splineHelp.GetPointIndex(), that would get you an initial offset range.
then you could start inserting points at certain offsets and refine the sampling down until a given offset range treshold is reached.
but thats quite complicated and slow as well, of course

maybe somebody with a better idea how to approach this?

Hi,

Sorry to resurrect this old thread ...
As mentioned above GetSplinePointSegment() is not available in python
Is there no way at all to get to the (real)offset of a spline point with a given index ?

spline --> point index --> offset? (in python)

index

thanks ferdinand,

that's a roadmap !!
gosh, it looks like i have quite some work ahead of me!

dunno yet, if i'm crazy enough to give it a try :))

ps. that also means that the nearest intersection between
a point and an object without vector is not possible with GeRayCollider (?)

hm, i tried to make an example, but now it worked as expected.
I will post an example, if i run into that again

ps. no multiple segments
