Hello everybody.

If anyone have an example of how to create and apply a UVWTag to a polygonobject using C.O.F.F.E.E I'd really like to see it.
I have succeeded in applying the tag but cinema crashes when I try to use it (View it with bodypaint or apply a texture). I assume that I'm filling the tag with corrupt data or miss something when I apply it to the object.
Is the UVWCoords ranging from (float) 0-1 on each axis or (integer) width, height of the texture?

(Pardon my bad english but it's late and I'm tired and frustrated)

Sorry, but this is impossible in C.O.F.F.E.E. due to the cannot-create-VariableTags limitation. It should be possible to manipulate UVWTags that C4D has created.

Actually it is quite possible.
With help from the cg-talk forum I resolved the issue.
Here is a small example to show how it is done.

    
    
    
    
    main(doc,op)  
    {  
     var checktag = op->GetFirstTag();  
     while(checktag)  
     {  
      if(checktag->GetType() == TAG_UVW)  
      {  
       println("Object already has UVWTag");  
       return;  
      }  
      checktag = checktag->GetNext();  
     }
    
    
    
    
     var st_time = GeGetSysTime();  
     println("Time: ", st_time->hour, ":", st_time->minute, ":", st_time->second);
    
    
    
    
     var t_tag = new(UVWTag);  
     var random = new(Random);  
     random->Init(198376);
    
    
    
    
     var a_uvwcoords = new(array, 6*4);
    
    
    
    
     var counter;  
     var v_coord = vector(0);  
     for(counter = 0; counter < 6*4; counter++)  
     {  
      v_coord.x = random->Get01();  
      v_coord.y = random->Get01();  
      a_uvwcoords[counter] = v_coord;  
      println("Poly: ", counter/4, " Point: ", counter%4, " ", v_coord);  
     }
    
    
    
    
     var vc = new(VariableChanged);    
     vc->Init(0,op->GetPolygonCount());    
     if (!t_tag->Message(MSG_POLYGONS_CHANGED,vc))  
      return;    
       
     if(!t_tag->SetData(a_uvwcoords))  
     {  
      println("SetData Failed!");  
      return;  
     }  
     t_tag->Message(MSG_UPDATE);
    
    
    
    
     if(!op->InsertTag(t_tag, NULL))  
     {  
      println("InsertTag Failed!");  
      return;  
     }  
     op->Message(MSG_UPDATE);  
    }

Voila! And there it is.

Oh. Forgot to mention that the example assumes that the tag is on a cube that is made editable and has no UVWTag.
