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

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.

Hello,

there's no real list where you can find easily those IDs.

@m_adam came with this idea :
open the Script log (menu script > script log) and click the button you want to call.
in the console you will see something like

c4d.CallButton(tool(), c4d.MDATA_NEWTRANSFORM)

so you know that the ID is c4d.MDATA_NEWTRANSFORM

Another place to look for, is the folder ressource/modules where you can find the files .res that build the ui. (using your OS search function will help a lot) Openning those file you will find the information

BUTTON MDATA_NEWTRANSFORM { FIT_H; }

and you can maybe open the file with the same name with the extention .h where you will find the id

MDATA_NEWTRANSFORM = 701, // Button

Other than that, there are the enums on the documentation like this page but it's not really "user friendly"

Let me know.

Cheers
Manuel

@m_adam

Thanks for further clarification specially the catch with the dialog's on the script. Will now closed the thread.

Have a great day ahead!

Hi Riccardo, I think the issue is solved because there is no any issue. Some not good methods of software distribution just confused us.
Btw, what benefits different parameters of SetPluginPriority() give to us? For example the xdll has several plugins like materials, shader, tags and renderer. Even some icons with plugin ids. What priority is better to use in this case? I see https://developers.maxon.net/docs/cpp/2023_2/page_manual_module_functions.html
For example, what is C4DPL_INIT_PRIORITY_ADVANCEDRENDER:

Does it give higher thread priority during some PV rendering task? Or does it just load the plugin before other renderers and give the chance to lock system resources before others?

Hello,

it seems you just write the name of the last track into your user data field:

obj[c4d.ID_USERDATA,19] = trak.GetName()

Since you do not extend that string, it can only show one name.

best wishes,
Sebastian

Thanks for the response @m_adam
Have a great day ahead!

Thanks for the reply! I'll try that, though I thought that SCENEFILTER_IGNOREXREFS would keep xrefs from being loaded, and since my plugin edits the xref path/name, this would not work. But then again, perhaps I assumed wrong. I appreciate the help! By the way, the idea of classification by tags appears to be a good way to escape the messy folding out tree of classification system that we are all used to. I'll use it next time.

Yeah, definitely. When porting old code that I didn't write to new C4D releases, I always add lots of comments, so people who come after me won't have the same problems 😉

It builds, and the source processor does not complain. Thank you!

Hi pennay, thanks for following up.

Our Team's mission is to deliver a punctual and effective support on Cinema SDK related topic, and we usually don't engage in discussion where turn-key solutions are requested. We provide explanations, recommendations and best-practices on the development tools that Cinema 4D comes with, but it's not on us to recommend how to use them to achieve a certain goal.

With regard to your further comment on the final goal, considering the range of the topic, I'd start having a look at the network-related APIs - note: it's not completely covered - that Cinema 4D comes with and to come back with more defined questions addressing Cinema API.

Hoping to hear from you soon, give best.

HI @r_gigante

Thanks for the response.
With regard to 2CV-only Bezier curve: Yes, I only need 2 CV maximum. I understand that it will not interpolate complicated shapes properly but as you can see in my example, it's only a simple shape.

Looking at it now. I have a feeling I am biting more than I can chew. I'm not sure I can solve it at the moment given my current knowledge.

Will just perform it manually at the moment.

Anyhow, thanks for responding.

Have a great day ahead!

Hi panney, thanks for reaching out us.

With regard to the issue you're experiencing, it's pretty likely that the cause is a different revision between the c4dpy executable and the Cinema 4D revision. Please be sure that they both matches (20.059 c4dpy is available here[URL-REMOVED]).

Last but not least, here you can find more detail on the c4dpy executable.

Best, R.

Hey @mrittman, i cant find the id names in documentation but i think CID_SOUND_START would be the timecode of when the audio starts (notice you are assigning a BaseTime object to it) CID_SOUND_NAME which i'm using is the audio file path.

My application is taking the audio file path and the image sequence output (as defined by the render output settings) and combining them via a subprocess using ffmpeg. If there was a way i could do it straight through c4d id prefer that! Mainly cos ffmpeg is a mission! especially when you need to shift/delay audio and what not.

Ok, something to think about and to consider.

Thanks Sebastian!
Looking forward for a fix. 😉
Meanwhile I'll take care of your recommendation.

Best,
Robert

Works as expected. Thank you @m_adam for getting back to me.

Have a great day ahead!

Thanks Sebastian, I will try that!

Hello,

SendParentMessage() is a member function of GeUserArea. It is only relevant if you create a custom GUI element based on GeUserArea.

A class based on TreeViewFunctions is used to define the behaviour of a TreeViewGUI. It is not based on GeUserArea.

In TreeViewFunctions, you could inform the host GeDialog about an event by sending a custom core message using SpecialEventAdd(). The GeDialog can catch this message with CoreMessage(). If you want to send data, one way is to store the data in a global variable which is then accessed by the dialog.

best wishes,
Sebastian

Thanks.
