@zipit said in UNIT METER SCALE ISSUE:

NodeData.InitAttr()

<3

It fits in the UI - but if i switch to remapping the width increase slighty.

here my complete res file:

The default python generator returns a parametric object (c4d.Ocube). So you have to convert it to a editable poly in the generator itself. So you don't need a cso in your script but in the generator when using parametric objects.

Python Generator

import c4d
#Welcome to the world of Python


def main():
    c = c4d.BaseObject(c4d.Ocube)
    return c4d.utils.SendModelingCommand(command = c4d.MCOMMAND_CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT,list    = [c],
                                                 bc      = c4d.BaseContainer(),
                                                 mode    = c4d.MODELINGCOMMANDMODE_ALL,
                                                 doc     = doc,
                                                 flags   = 0)[0]

script

import c4d

doc = c4d.documents.GetActiveDocument()
gen =doc.GetActiveObject()
print gen.GetCache()

SCALE_V

Doesn't change a thing. But i just discovered NEWLINE;

According to the documentation, my user data should be scaled when you provide them with the flags UNIT METER. Unfortunately, this does not work as hoped. Scaling using ObjectMode is running.

            REAL GRIDDER_WIDTH  { UNIT METER; MIN 0;}
            REAL GRIDDER_HEIGHT { UNIT METER; MIN 0;}

To be honest. Just render the LatLong and then render the texture on a plane with the correct uv layout in the picture viewer or use Nuke or AE for it.

Double the render double the fun.

The Plugin has to be installed on all maschines - but your mentioned deadline so this should be no problem, just create a maintainance job for all clients and copy it via cmd or batch file.

Also it seems that call command isn't an option here at all:

Warning Must be called from the main thread only. Forbidden to call in expressions (Python generator, tag, XPresso node, etc.). See Threading Information.

c4d.CallCommand

Sorry for the missleading.

If you want to continue trying to kill the problem with python: you can run a python script as a monitor , waits until the scene loaded and than trigger some sort of buttonpressing in the mainthread.

But after all - rendering should be way faster than developing this.

Why not just rendering with a spherical cam or use a camrig for it?

Otherwise: Maybe creating a simple command plugin and run it via callCommand could work.

When displaying the remapping tab on a FIELDLIST the field ui is larger than the layout. At first i thought the issue was the lable of the field because i didn't manage it to create a line break like the falloff field on any effector but it makes no differences at all.

res:

GROUP {
            FIELDLIST GRIDDER_FIELD {  }
        }

@s_bach said in Howto add a Field input to a python plugin:

FIELDLIST

works fine - i think i got an strange error before and trying CUSTOMFIELDLIST etc.

solved

i need the ressource syntax to add a field field to my interface.
