Hello, please open a new thread for that question, we will probably need your code. You can send it to us using our email [email protected] Cheers, Manuel

hello, To retrieve the active object you have to iteration trough the hierarchy. (even GetActiveObject) In Python, GetActiveObjects is calling a c++ function so with lots of object it will be faster than iterating the hierarchy with python functions. We don't know what the limit is. To mesure that you have to make a bunch of tests with different scenarios and get the mean. Cheers, Manuel

@r_gigante Thank you, Riccardo! I don't know how I missed that in the documentation, but it is what I needed.

Thanks! So will find some workaround.

Hi, if I am not overlooking something here, the function recurse_hierarchy is neither recursive nor will it retrieve the layers for all objects in the scene. It will retrieve the layers for all siblings of the passed node, that were born after that node. You probably made a mistake copying your code or misunderstood what is meant by recursive. Cheers, zipit

@r_gigante Gotcha. Thanks for the warning.

@m_adam Thanks for further clarification. @Ashton_FCS_PluginDev 's code works but I guess I'll just use the result of the ShowPopupDialog to trigger commands, as I added in the previous code.

@m_adam Thanks, Maxime, for the temporary workaround and for bumping it to the development team. I hope this is fixed soon!

Hi Sebastian, Thank you for your response. I found the identifiers of the different VRay materials in the file c4d_symbol.h. Everything works.

hello, thanks @PluginStudent for the answer here if (obj != nullptr) // If I'm checking for nullptr could I just use if(obj) as in Python? The correct way is to check against nullptr, that's a c++11 standard. if (obj) could lead to false positive and bugs. String is not the same thing as maxon::String. String is the classic API while maxon::String is the Maxon API. You can read more about that in the manual about strings Error handling is super eady to use, we got every thing to do so, you should definitely use it. Check Our manual about Error Handling Last but not least you can probably use our Url class to handle file or filename. Give it a look Cheers, Manuel

Manuel, thanks for taking the time and posting some links. Last night I was reading up on the Matrix and trying wrapping my head around it. I think I was stuck in the wrong area, I was trying to convert a baseObject to a pointObject to do the transformations.I would perfer not to have to open the axis window, but instead handle all this in a Python Function. I will look over the docs and samples to get a better idea of what I need to do. Thanks again for taking the time to respond to my post!

@wen I was trying to do the same the past days. I could'nt figure out how to detect if Redshift IPR is enabled, but I found some relevant RS Ids. The 1038666 command opens the IPR window, but as far as I know there's no way to get the dialog instance to call IsOpen() The 1036752 CoreMessage is sent during IPR renders, but without any additional parameters (PAR1/PAR2). Not sure if there's something else we can extract from that message. What I ended up doing is adding a bool to my plugin to enable IPR features, but would be good to enable automatically.

@fwilleke80 Yes or the RenderData but that means the data needs to be there before the token evaluation which is done before any scene execution render wise. Cheers, Maxime

Hello, thanks for sharing this with the everybody. COLOR_TIMELINE is now EX_COLOR_TIMELINE the documentation will be updated to reflect that change. Cheers, Manuel

@r_gigante ok thanks! I managed a workaround by filling my dummy spline with two zero length segments at the claculated bounding box limits.

Super, thank you!!

BitmapButtonCustomGui.SetImage was just extended in R21 to support c4d.IconData as well, but the behavior didn't changed. I guess the issue is more related to R21 What is News - Fixes Fixed a memory leak in bitmaps.InitResourceBitmap(). So basically previously c4d.bitmaps.InitResourceBitmap produced a memory leak where the allocated BaseBitmap was never released, so that's why previously without copying it, it was working. But you should pass True to copyBmp to copy the BaseBitmap now since the BaseBitmap will be released at the destruction of icon variable by the Python Garbage Collection, but if you don't copy it, the BitmapButtonCustomGui will still use the previous BaseBitmap pointer, which will produce a crash since it will be dead. Glad you found the issue. Cheers, Maxime.

HI R. I already used the BitmapButtonCustomGui for my dialog. Just i got some Gui corruption problems so I tried to switch to standard button... but the corruption of gui was not caused by it. Thanks for your answer. Renato T.

@m_magalhaes Hello, Thank you so much.

@r_gigante Maybe a little late, but thanks for the info anyway. Always useful, and much appreciated! I went with a custom implementation using a BaseArray to store the information, and from there used the specific index in the array as the value in an HashMap Instead of the wanted: maxon::HashMap<Int32, DataStruct> mymap; I went with: class MyHashMap { ... maxon::BaseArray<DataStruct> mArray; maxon::HashMap<Int32, Int32> mArrayIndexMap; }; This is more or less what you have described. The only drawback here is that I still haven't found out how to implement range-based loop support ... but I went with using the old-fashioned indexed loop usage. Good enough for its purpose.
