tend to be very complex computationally and therefore not very sensible to be implemented in Python.

yeah, I forgot the BaseView, but whatever, I agree whit you.
And this is just the beginning, I'm still in the research and testing phase.
My final goal is to write a procedural tree generator, so maybe combine L-System to improve some performance, I'll also try to write an Octree.
Thank you for your suggestion and reply.

Cheers!

Forum Overview: Provides a broad overview of the fundamental structure and rules of this forum, such as the purpose of the different sub-forums or the fact that we will ban users who engage in hate speech or harassment. Support Procedures: Provides a more in detail overview of how we provide technical support for APIs here. This topic will tell you how to ask good questions and limits of our technical support. Forum Features: Provides an overview of the technical features of this forum, such as Markdown markup or file uploads.

It is strongly recommended to read the first two topics carefully, especially the section Support Procedures: Asking Questions.

About your First Question

Unfortunately there's no single place with aggregated Redshift Python API documentation. Such things are usually discussed on redshift forums and as a side effect are partially available in some of threads on this forum here.

I am sorry to hear that you have issues with your license. But this is not an end-user forum, but a development support forum, i.e., software developers can get here support in developing for Maxon products. Please visit our Maxon.net: Support Center to receive end-user support.

Cheers,
Ferdinand

@ferdinand Thanks for the detailed explanation👍

@m_adam oops, sorry...yeah wrong forum. Went to Cineversity.. thanks

Hi @Kantronin,

Instead of creating multiple consequent postings please consolidate them in a single one. I've also noticed that you've added "programming" tag but haven't mentioned the language you're talking about (is it c++ or python?).

Regarding your questions. Transforming the axis of a PointObject effectively means transforming the point values. There're some helping commands that I've shown you in my previous message, but what they effectively do is just transforming the points. Please have a look into the operation_transfer_axis_s26.py example, which demonstrates how to perform axis translation.

As for the rotation part, I'd need to point you once again to our Matrix Manual, which actually contains the answer to your question. Namely, the chapter "Constructing and Combining Transforms" explains the usage of functions c4d.utils.MatrixRotX(), c4d.utils.MatrixRotY() and c4d.utils.MatrixRotZ(). I will not copy & paste the same code snippet from our manual, so please check it youself.

Combining these with the example above should do the trick for you, unless you don't have the initial transformation of your ring splines. If that's the case, then your task turns into a way more complex form of the optimization problem.

Please also note, that you can only do the object axis transformations on PointObject (and on PolygonObject since it's inherited from PointObject). This effectively means that if you're using the Osplinecircle instead of an ordinary Ospline, this wouldn't work, as it doesn't store any points inside. In this case you'd need to convert to Ospline. If that's not an option for you, you can check the Geometry Axis and Geometry Orientation scene nodes, as they allow you to transform the axis "on-the-fly", so this would work even with non-point objects.

Cheers,
Ilia

Hi @yaya,

I see your point here and I can only guess if such behavior is expected or not, as this is (and I've already mentioned this to you earlier) a question that has nothing to do with development.

In general it sounds like a bug, so you're very welcome to reach out to our Support Team and ask them for a proper workaround if they actually classify this issue as a bug.

I'm moving your thread to general talk section in case someone from our community might be willing to share their experience on that topic.

Cheers,
Ilia

Well, my answer answers that, check out the posting I linked to. You must insert a MENURESOURCE_SUBTITLE:

menu.InsData(c4d.MENURESOURCE_SUBTITLE, "My Heading")

Thanks for the answer

Yes @Mats , it will 'scan' the material and convert to a description, then convert back to material.

I want to achieve material conversion between different renderers, which may seem like a very labor-intensive task, but the good news is that I have taken the first step in implementing it.

And thanks for your like for boghma.

Cheers~

I just simply add a plugin to C4D which creates a user menu into C4D all in one pack without adding any script into the user C4D preferences folder ( library / scripts ) . Menu and script embedded solution all in one plugin inside.

@Dunhou It seems corect! Well done.

There is no such plugins (at least that I'm aware) in Cinema 4D, however you may be able to find issue in your mesh via the Mesh Checking features available in the Mode of the Attribute Manager.

I let the community answers regarding your request in case a developer have done a plugins that may fit your needs.

hej, now it works!
now even in the "plugins" folder under C:/.../MAXON/Maxon Cinema 4D ...

About your First Question

Third party software is out of scope of our Support Procedures, namely:

We cannot provide support for third party libraries.

Hence I've moved your thread to the "General Talk" forum.

Many thanks to @Dunhou for taking an active role of our community! Much appreciated!

Cheers,
Ilia

Hey @Livat1984,

There are currently four commercial third party solutions for your task (that I am aware of):

Forrester is a full blown plugin suite for vegetation generation. Taio is also a vegetation solution which integrates nicely into the Insydium toolkit. Laubwerk is more an asset library with an optional surface distribution plugin. Poliigon also offers bindings for its asset library to Cinema 4D, including a vegetation library. With Cinema's own Mograph (Cloner, Fields, and MoSpline) system, Scene Nodes, and our asset library you can also get pretty far.

Fig. I: Cinema's own asset library comes with substantial content in the Plants section (all the content does not even fit on my screen, there is more). Finally, a while ago a user posted here a free plant generator, but I am not sure if it is being maintained.

Ferdinand
