Finally had time to release the plugin.
I started this project a long time ago, and its still not perfect but i'm using it with almost every project.
I'm not a scripting wonder, it took me way more time then I wanted, therefor it's for sell, and not for free.

Available for: R18, R19, R20, R21.

Bake renders to textures
Bake the render output directly onto a new mesh, or the same mesh.
Because we are working with a boundary, anything that falls within will be baked.
This even allows you to bake a displacement, or hairs as a texture.
Full tutorial can be watched in this post or here on YouTube:
Tutorial
Its a rather boring video sorry..
In this (3 minute) video make a bake from start to finish, and go over the pro's and con's.

Functionalities are:

• Bake HDRI’s.
• Bake Hires to low res.
• Bake Hires onto itself (Can be done with no limitations).
• Bake Hires onto itself with new UV map.
• Low-res to new low-res with new UV layout.
• Displacement, hairs, textures.
• You get the point..

Limitations are:

• Not good with 90 degree corners.
• Low poly mesh has to be simple and smooth.
• Some hand clean up is necessary. (complex meshes)

Small bug:

• The undo function (Ctrl+Z) doesn't work properly. So please work in a new scene when baking.

Hi-res to low-res

Even when the render does not use UV’s, you can simply transfer the data over to a new map.

Redshift to texture

You can do the same for any Redshift renders by baking them first onto itself with ‘Redshift bakeset’ and to a new model / new uv layout with ‘render to texture’.

You do need to convert it to pollies and use a non hair material, but it works great! Creating alphas is also not a problem. This scene and tutorial video will be included in the download.

Transfer texture to new model

An extreme example is to go from a cube to a sphere, obviously this would look very weird but it's possible. Therefore you can bake literally anything as a HDRI.

Anything to a HDRI

When you bake using a sphere as a boundary you can turn anything into an hdri.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks,

PS:
For those who signed up a year ago, a discount code is on its way.

After a few years I'm still looking to access these numbers.
If anyone knows how to set a custom X and Y number, please let me know.

I would like to hide a layer from the layers manager.
Much like NBit does with objects, tags, and materials.
I’ve looked around in the Documentation but there doesn’t seem to be a existing function for it.
Anyone know if it’s possible?

@mp5gosu
This sounds like the solution I was looking for
Thanks a lot!

Ps, yes im a noob...

Ah too bad. I need it to be a separate window, so the user can relocate it's position.
I want to preform some actions upon closing (removing certain objects).
But I can't seem to link that to the OS window X button, can I ?

@mp5gosu Thanks for clarifying.
@r_gigante And thanks for the link there is a lot of useful stuff on there.

@mp5gosu said in Grayed out or disabled X button:

AddGadget()

Thanks for your reply!
I still struggle to hide it, do I use it like this:

import c4d
from c4d import gui

class TestDialog(gui.GeDialog):
    
    def __init__(self):
        self.AddGadget(c4d.DIALOG_NOMENUBAR, 0) 
    
    def CreateLayout(self):
        self.AddButton(1014, c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT, 100, 17, 'Close')
        return True
    def Command(self, id, msg):
        if id == 1014:
            #CLOSE BUTTON
            self.Close()
            
        return c4d.gui.GeDialog.Command(self, id, msg) 
    def AskClose(self):
        return False
    
if __name__=='__main__':
    dialog = TestDialog()
    dialog.Open(dlgtype=c4d.DLG_TYPE_ASYNC,)
    c4d.EventAdd()

Hi,
I'm a bit lost, maybe someone can help me out.
Here a simple modal example:

import c4d
from c4d import gui

class TestDialog(gui.GeDialog):
    def CreateLayout(self):
        self.AddButton(1014, c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT, 100, 17, 'Close')
        return True
    def Command(self, id, msg):
        if id == 1014:
            #CLOSE BUTTON
            self.Close()
            
        return c4d.gui.GeDialog.Command(self, id, msg) 
    def AskClose(self):
        return False
    
if __name__=='__main__':
    dialog = TestDialog()
    dialog.Open(dlgtype=c4d.DLG_TYPE_ASYNC,)
    c4d.EventAdd()

I want a dialog box with a grayed out or disable X button.
I can change it to a different dlgtype, but those are not really what I need.

Can I overwrite the “DLG_TYPE_MODAL” ?

@m_adam said in How to access ‘Freeze View function’ with Python ?:

WorldContainer with the ID 25085

So there are no WorldContainers for Y and X, ?
And this is since R19 ?

Above is R18, This is no longer possible ?

Cheers,
Tim

This one:

Something that got disabled since R19 is the ability to choose custom X and Y resolution when freezing frame. All I can find is a call command, but noting in dept in the SDK.

Is it something I can access and if so, does anyone know how ?
