Hi @C4DS , maybe I wasn't enough clear.

you end up with a single merged object, which has 2 selection tags, and both still have the specific name ... but none have the added unique ID. Surely you start to think something is really wrong.

Actually you end up in a new mesh with new selection tags which beside having the data copied from the two source selection tags, they are NEW and hence the UniqueID is not supposed to be kept. The names are kept for convenience but I don't see any reason to have also the UniqueID being kept considering that - in the end - they are indeed new instances and have nothing to do with the source selection tags.

Cheers, R

Amazing! Thank you Manuel! It works with multiple objects, Cloners etc. Without your help I would not make it 😉

i forgot to mention:

For your next threads, please help us keeping things organised and clean. I know it's not your priority but it really simplify our work here.

Q&A New Functionality. How to Post Questions especially the tagging part.

I've added the tags and marked this thread as a question so when you considered it as solved, please change the state 🙂

Cheers,
Manuel

My apologies: I didn't understand how BaseLink worked and this clarified things. Thank you!

Thank you @m_magalhaes & @r_gigante!

@r_gigante @kbar

Thanks for the infomation. I assumed that was the case and it makes sense, I'm just reluctant to stop supporting older versions of Cinema but it might be time.

Riccardo, I think I was using the incorrect version of osX or XCode, not sure which, but using your codesign worked when I moved onto a later version of both and it is correctly signing my R20 compiles.

Thanks both of you for all of the help and clarifying of notarization.

@m_adam got it! it's working now.

The final code for my float sdf exporter is here.

@m_adam Thanks for the info! I knew I was still missing a few flags 😉

Hi,

This is solved in the last documentation update, see BaseBitmap.ScaleIt.

Thanks, I understand.
I am now going to do it outside DrawMsg in parallel (thread) plugin.
See my other post.

You're welcome, Manuel.

Actually, I usually prepare all the textures and mapping to be in UVW mapping, when texturing is required.
But, mainly, what I need is exporting geometry that is animated.

Wow, thanks for the example, @r_gigante.

Was it always possible to import a redshift module? Or is there any info from which version on (C4D / Redshift) this is possible!?

Thanks,
Lasse

Well @pyxelrigger thanks for clarifying the final scope.

Since, as already stated, folding or unfolding a scene entry doesn't generate any valuable message to be intercepted, the sole - brute force - hack you might try to implement in Python would be to implement a MessageData plugin which constantly checks for the folded/unfolded state of the entries in the scene and eventually delete the unfolded one.

This approach carries strong performances penalties to the whole Cinema 4D UI because you need to constantly traverse the scene and depending on the scene size this could strongly affect Cinema performances.

If there are no further question please mark the thread as solved.

Best, R
