Hey @ferdinand (fantastic avatar, btw)!

I apologize for the lack of tags; I will abide by said guidelines moving forward.

Also, thank you for the information! The reason I was inquiring about using this with Linux is because I would likely set up this workload to be managed in a cloud environment. Though, I assume if it is possible using a Windows image, that I can likely get it to work by using a Windows-based instance in a cloud environment instead of a Linux-based instance.

Hello,

I am a relatively new user to C4D. I have extensive Python experience but have never used it in tandem with C4D. I was just wondering if the below use case is possible using the CLR and Python SDK.

• Have a base level scene set up in a .c4d file.
• Run c4d from command line in linux machine and open this base scene file.
• Using a Python script:
  • Load in an object from an STL/3D format file. Set position of object, texture, color, etc.
  • Have several different cameras set up in the scene and render a shot from each of the cameras.

I am not asking how I could go about doing this, but rather if it is possible to do this with the developer tools provided with C4D. I am working on a personal project that creates a number of STLs, and want to find a good way to render them out in a programmatic fashion using the render engines provided by C4D without having to do so manually in the GUI.

Any info would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance
