@m_adam said in Bake Texture within ObjectData: bakeBmp = c4d.bitmaps.MultipassBitmap(512, 512, c4d.COLORMODE_RGBf) This example helped me a lot. Thank you so much. Regards, Mustapha

@m_adam Anyway, thanks for your time!

I used the frame of your code to make plugins from scripts that I wrote, and now I can send my results to the console. Thanks

Thanks for all the support. I will use all the knowledge gained and start testing. I am sure, I will be back with more questions. -Pim

Hi @affa May I ask you in which context you are? Can you share your code? Did you take a look to the py-custom_icon.pyp plugin example. Cheers, Maxime.

Aha, thanks.

OK, thanks!

Thank you, Riccardo. That was exactly what I was doing wrong. Dan

Thank You, How embarrassing I forgot to write back to the UserData. (I shouldn't code late at night) Solved.

hello, without further addition on your part, this thread will be considered as solved tomorrow. Cheers, Manuel.

hello, up to version R20 you can use GeGetVersionType but this have been removed with the version R21 (we only have one package now) With the version R21 follow you have several functions see this page to check the version you can check for API_VERSION #if API_VERSION > 20999 ApplicationOutput("this is a message"); #else GePrint("this is a message"); #endif Cheers Manuel

@m_adam Thanks, yes, you're right, a timer may be my best choice here to avoid too much load on the system. Checking the project list every 3 seconds or so should suffice for the usecases. And since I'm in a GeDialog, the timer function is easy to implement. (I just have to take care that within the 3 seconds, the state of the dialog may be inconsistent with the actual system state.)

@zipit Thanks for the clarification. Yea, I guess so but just learning as much as I can. Thanks again!

hi, nice, feel free to share your solution and mark this thread as solved. Cheers, Manuel

@m_magalhaes thanks, looking forward to the next update

So my problem was actually not related to OSX but to compatibility issues between minor releases. Thanks to your replies I sorted it out. And I finally understand your versioning concept. Thank you Manuel, good job! Regards, Viktor Veličko WTools3D s.r.o. www.lwcad.com

You are right @zipit is not a ToolData but a DescriptionToolData. Note that in Python you can register a SculptBrushToolData which derive from DescriptionToolData. But for me, my previous questions are still relevant, what's your final need, and why do you strickly need your dialog to be constructed this way? Cheers, Maxime.

If it's only a question of executing python, why not directly execute python from C++ using the python library? #include "c4d.h" #include "lib_py.h" PythonLibrary pylib; pylib.Execute("import c4d\nprint 'From Python:', c4d.GetC4DVersion()"_s); Note that in R20 the python.framework was released, and should be used for the future. The old python library (since R15) is still there and still works, but take care that in a future release it may disappear since everything that was possible and even more is now possible with the python.framework. For more information see Python Page. Cheers, Maxime.

Thank You @m_magalhaes and @zipit Both your suggestions were very helpful. The controller works very well @m_magalhaes I just needed to convert my user data input to BaseTime and it works perfectly. I was able to solve the updating issue to work how I want. I only needed to add: c4d.GeSyncMessage(c4d.EVMSG_TIMECHANGED) Now my timeline markers update nicely as I change values. This topic can be marked solved.
