Hello PluginCafe,
I wanted toknow whether it is possible to show/hide tabs in the GUI (like the Fields tab in the VertexMap) if the Tabs / Groups have been defined in the resource file. Or do I have to add/remove them dynamically through description handling?

Florian

Hello PluginCafe,

I wanted to know whether it is possible to change the data count of a vertex map dynamically without always killing the tag and recreating it? I have a mesh that gets subdivided dynamically and I need the vertex map to always fit the mesh vertex count but I can't have the user to always re-link the vertex map on every change.

Exactly what I needed!

Hello Plugincafe,
as the title implies I want to know wether the user is currently rendering the document => in the editor,
or in the picture viewer. I want to change settings of my modifier accordingly. (like the supdivision surface with supdivision editor/render).
What I have always done is check if the current document is the same as passed in ModifyObject (which works for picture viewer as the document is copied for rendering) but I don't know if this is the indended way of doing it or if there is somethihng else. In addition I want to do the same once the user renders in the editor, which my approach does not cover.
Is ther an "easy" way to accomplish this?

Best Regards,
Florian

Hello,
I noticed that two of my parameters of my modifier change their values when I scale the modifier in the viewport.
I thought that it might be the Handles, but the only ones I have are from the Falloff/Field.
I tried changing the ids of those two parameters (both Realslider) but they do still change.
The only time I set/get the values for the parameters are in the Init function and in the ModifyObject function.

I am at a complete loss here. Is there anything I could check that I may be doing?

Thanks in advance!

Florian

Hello Manuel,
thank you very much! This was exactly what I needed!

It is not exactly for my own render engine. I just wanted to implement an open source one as a side-project and to familiarize myself with that topic by just doing it.

Hello Manuel,
ultimately I want to be able to show the result on all 3 places you mentioned.
during rendering in the PictureViewer and in the Viewport I want the user to see the actual progressive rendering of the image until the final result.

Hello PluginCafe,
I have been developing a render engine implementation for C4D.
In my VideoPost (renderer) I know how to render the finished image (after the rendering is complete) using ExecuteLine (which works fine), but what I really want is to show the process aswell (like Octane or ProRender as examples where you see the rendering progress).

I guess I would have to do that in the Execute function, but where/when?

I hope my question is clear.
Best Regards,
Florian

Hello Manuel,
thanks a ton!
I also didn't know of the FFTInterface of C4D, I will defenitely take a look!
I will also try your solution even if it is not the prettiest, if it works, it is better than nothing.

Again thanks a lot so far!
Kind Regards,
Florian
