As stated before, we are working on it and it will be released in the future. I can't say more.

Regarding your question @Aaron this will be possible.

Just to add some side notes :

SendModelingCommand is waiting for a list of objects in case you want to execute that command on several objects.

In your case, you only got one element in your list.

You can have more informations about list here

Please consider to sets the topic as solved if it's the case.
Cheers,
Maxime.

EDIT: I've done it, but feel free to set it back to Open if you feel the need to ask more questions.

Don't feel sorry yes this is the issue and since Knot ID are not ordered from right to left but from creation order its why it's confused you.
Moreover, using a for loop will make way more sense and help you to avoid this kind of stuff.

grad1 = shdr1[c4d.SLA_GRADIENT_GRADIENT] grad2 = shdr2[c4d.SLA_GRADIENT_GRADIENT] for knotId in xrange(grad1.GetKnotCount()): knot = grad1.GetKnot(knotId) grad2.InsertKnot(col=knot['col'], pos=knot['pos'],index=knot['index']) grad2.FlushKnots() shdr2[c4d.SLA_GRADIENT_GRADIENT] = grad2

Finally, a BaseShader is derived from BaseList2D which is derived from C4DAtom that mean you can use GetClone to retrieves a clone of this shader so your code can look like.

import c4d def main(): mat = doc.GetFirstMaterial() colorShader = mat[c4d.MATERIAL_COLOR_SHADER] if colorShader is None: return copyColor = colorShader.GetClone() mat[c4d.MATERIAL_DIFFUSION_SHADER] = copyColor mat.InsertShader(copyColor) mat.Message(c4d.MSG_UPDATE) mat.Update(True, True) c4d.EventAdd() # Execute main() if __name__=='__main__': main()

Hi Maxime,

thank you very much! Good to know. I would otherwise searched forever.

hello,

To answer this question if someone want to do it by code.

import c4d from c4d import gui # Welcome to the world of Python # Main function def main(): #get the selected object op = doc.GetActiveObject() if not op: raise TypeError("there's no object selected") if not op.IsInstanceOf(c4d.Opolygon): raise TypeError("obj should be a polygon object") #setup neighbor nbr = c4d.utils.Neighbor() nbr.Init(op) #get the selected edge bs = op.GetSelectedEdges(nbr,c4d.EDGESELECTIONTYPE_SELECTION) #maximum number of edge should be number of polygon * 4 sel = bs.GetAll(op.GetPolygonCount() * 4) #get all polygon vadr = op.GetAllPolygons() #init point a and b index to -1 for error check a = b = -1 #initialise a counter to check in sel array. countEdge = 0 #we can check now every edge to find the corresponding points. So for each polygon for i in xrange(op.GetPolygonCount()): #get the polygon information pli = nbr.GetPolyInfo(i) for side in xrange(4): # Test all 4 sides of a polygon # Only proceed if edge is marked # and edge really exists (for triangles side 2 from c..d does not exist as c==d) if pli["mark"][side] or (side==2 and vadr[i].c == vadr[i].d): continue #if the edge is marked as selected in our sel array if sel[countEdge]: if side==0: a=vadr[i].a; b=vadr[i].b elif side==1: a=vadr[i].b; b=vadr[i].c elif side==2: a=vadr[i].c; b=vadr[i].d elif side==3: a=vadr[i].d; b=vadr[i].a countEdge +=1 if a == -1 or b == -1: raise ValueError("points index can't be negatives") #get all points array points = op.GetAllPoints() #Get the direction of the edge in global coordinate (multiply the points'vector by the matrix of the object) opmg = op.GetMg() #i've picked a direction from point a to point b so the angle could need to be reverted. dirVector = points[b]*opmg - points[a]*opmg #normalize a vector is often a good idea. dirVector.Normalize() #transform the vector to hpb note the result is in radian hpb = c4d.utils.VectorToHPB(dirVector) #transform radian to degree hpb.x = c4d.utils.RadToDeg(hpb.x) hpb.y = c4d.utils.RadToDeg(hpb.y) hpb.z = c4d.utils.RadToDeg(hpb.z) print "the edge is poiting to",dirVector,"the corresponding angle is", hpb # Execute main() if __name__=='__main__': main()

Ok, I will give it a try and let you know.
Thanks.

@m_adam Thank you for another detailed answer !

Yes it is! Thank you very much!

Hi Mafster, thanks for following up.

The documentation here properly indicates that passing no parameter to Wait() is passing True.
Long story short, this value is required in order to avoid Cinema being stuck on waiting for the thread to end.

Hoping this helps in solving the issue, give best.
Riccardo

Thanks for the info.

@r_gigante Oh！Thank you！The plug-in ID is the reason for the problem，use another shorter number and everything is ok.

Thank your for your help!☺ ☺ ☺

Hi krftt thanks for reaching out us.

With regard to your question, if the intent is to bake the final appearance of a PBR material on a texture, I confirm that there are no means to achieve this considering that the baked data will also be camera-dependent.

If, on the contrary, your goal is to sample the shader used in any of the reflection layers used in a PBR material you can consider BaseShader::Sample() and, given a ChannelData, retrieve the color at a specific point - see this thread.

To browse through the different channel you can use something like:

# check for an active material mat = doc.GetActiveMaterial() if mat is None: return # retrieve the reflection layers count layersCount = mat.GetReflectionLayerCount() # loop through the layers for i in xrange(layersCount): # get the ReflectionLayer instance and the related data ID reflLayer = mat.GetReflectionLayerIndex(i) reflLayerData = reflLayer.GetDataID() # check for the instance to be the one currently active in the Attribute Manager if reflLayer.GetFlags() & (c4d.REFLECTION_FLAG_TAB): # retrieve the color color = mat[reflLayerData + c4d.REFLECTION_LAYER_COLOR_COLOR] # try to retrieve the shader colorShader = mat[reflLayerData + c4d.REFLECTION_LAYER_COLOR_TEXTURE] # do something with the data retrieved if colorShader is None: print "Selected layer is ", reflLayer.GetName(), "and uses color: ", color else: print "Selected layer is ", reflLayer.GetName(), "and uses shader: ", colorShader.GetName()

Best, Riccardo

Read() and Write() works. Thanks.

@m_magalhaes Thank you for your answer. really helpful!

@m_magalhaes said in IsEqual not defined:

MAXON_OPERATOR_EQUALITY(Int32Pair, a, b);

Thanks, didn't know about the MAXON_OPERATOR_EQUALITY. Very handy indeed.

However, I had already tried providing an equality operator in my Int32Pair class, as such:

Bool operator == (const Int32Pair& other) { return (a == other.a) && (b == other.b); }

But that still resulted in the "IsEqual not defined" compiler error.
The macro, however, is working fine.

Looking further at my implementation of operator==, I now notice I didn't declare it as a const method. Adding the const does get rid of the compiler error. Oh boy! Overlooked a minor "typo", with major consequences.

Again, thanks for the macro.

@s_bach Thank you for your answer!

Thanks @m_adam

Works as expected. Have a great day ahead!

I create a workaround that is working.
I think, like you say, that the Subdivision Surface is not ok, when I initially load the scene.
I now get the polygon object under the sss and that works.
