Access the Output Folder path from a RS BakeSet
-
Hi everyone,
I'm currently working on a Python script for Cinema 4D using Redshift, and I'm trying to retrieve the Output Folder path from a RS Bakeset.
I've tried several approaches to get the parameter ID, but so far, no luck. I haven’t been able to find the correct constant or method to access that field via Python.
For context, I'm using the latest versions of both Cinema 4D and Redshift.
Does anyone know how to access the Output Folder path from the Bakeset object? A parameter ID, code snippet, or even just a hint in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi @itstanthony,
Similar topic has already been discussed in the adjacent thread: Texture Baking in Redshift using Python.
The TL;DR version is: the baking tool itself is sealed from being accessed from our API, hence the furthermost point you can reach is simulating the click on [Bake] button. Since the path you'd like to have is contained inside the Bakeset dialog, you unfortunately cannot retrieve it. This information is best to be double checked with redshift team on Redshift Forum.

Hi Ilia,
Thanks a lot for the quick and clear reply!
That makes sense. I had a feeling it might be a limitation of the current API. I’ll definitely follow up with the Redshift team on their forum to confirm whether there’s any workaround or future support planned for accessing those fields.
Appreciate your help and the reference to the related thread!
Cheers,
Anthony
