@ferdinand thanks for answer, this solution works fine! Actually because of bug I thought that melt command only returns new object instead of changing current one. Thanks again!
Is it 100% safe to select all polygons to melt at once? What if two or more Ngons are neighbours — will that worked out?
I got Ngons translation map and I'd like to change other Polygon object made of Cpolygons according to that map.
Is there a way to do it without replacing polygon object with new one?
@ferdinand I get Ngon translation map and applied MCOMMAND_MELT but stuck again — as I understand SendModellingCommand only returns new object with melted ngons, but my goal is to correct object that already exists in scene...
MCOMMAND_MELT
SendModellingCommand
Is there any other ways of setting up Ngon translation map with python?
@ferdinand thanks! I have one more question: after replacing Tpoint and Tpolygon tags object seems to keep it's old bounding box parameters and disappear from viewport accordigly to them. Is there a way to update this property?
Tpoint
Tpolygon
Since fields introduced in R20, is it correct statement to check before call them?
if c4d.GetC4DVersion() > 20000: doFieldsStuff()
@ferdinand thanks! My goal is to:
I tried to change DESC_NAME property of default user data group but didn't succeed, thats why I created parentless group with name needed, but as I see it cant be selected by default. Is there some other way of reaching my goal?
DESC_NAME
@fwilleke80 Thanks for answer! Unfortunately I'm dealing with python tag, not plugin
I create Python Tag with custom group (tab), Tag has selected by default tab "Tag". How to set selected my newly created tab?
Python Tag
@ferdinand thanks again, it’s more clear now! About my concept: I’m trying to make procedural “current state to object” where result base object remains the same and only thing that changes is it’s mesh. It will allow users to direct manipulate object that has procedural source - cloner, exturde, etc, and keep all lnks to that changing mesh valid. Manipulations can include utilizing vertex colors/weights with fields, attaching stuff to points with xpresso, using object where mesh is strictly needed (like collider in thinking particles, etc). Some of that tricks can be achieved with correction deformer, but not all of them.
As far as I know c4d.utils.SendModelingCommand will create new object, so its not the case. Copying polygon and point tags is super fast so I hope there is some way to keep this operation in sync.
For instance, how VertexColorTag being resized if MCOMMAND_DELETE applied? Does SendModelingCommand held that or something else?
And another question: Cinema 4D crashes if target object has Vertex Color Tag and after that get update of Tpoint & Tpolygon tags. Is there a way of resizing Vertex Color Tag?
