Hi @ferdinand , I'm sorry that my title and description may be a little confused, maybe I misunderstood something and thought a little complicated. And thank you very much for your answer, you always help me when my thinking is confused. Cheers! Gheyret

This is an excellent explanation , thank you.

Yes @simonator420 , it worked in 2023, and not worked any more in 2024, I also found that strange behavior in HideElement() and confused me for a while.

Oh wow! Thank you so much! Yes I'm a beginner with python cinema 4D so I really appreciate your support and this definitly gives me a better understanding of the node structure.

Hi thanks a lot for your report, the issue regarding Reloading Python Plugin not working as expected have been fixed in 2024.2. Cheers, Maxime.

WOW!!! It turns out that there is a node specifically for python. But in the documentation, in the list GV Node Types, it is not indicated. This fact forced me to look for workarounds. Thanks for the help

ah! Thanks a lot!

Hi @ferdinand Thank you for your reply and guidance. I'll get around to it. Cheers Gheyret

Thanks @ferdinand, Thats gone too far, we can close this subj now. I think I have a solution already. I just wasn't clear enough in the beginning, I just wanted to know if PolygonObject can be forced to produce it's cache object by a command. I made an experiment where I spawn flat geometries between other flat geometries. Like planes in-between of deformed soft body planes. Here's working example: Setup: [image: 1699565133962-417b1a04-77c9-4163-bc6f-36c2800323f5-image.png] And simulation: [image: 1699565001814-cloth_multiply__03_.gif] Once you clone original geometry — it's flat, and there would be intersections and simulation will be broken. So you need to blend newborn geo point positions in-between of existing geometry points. Once you blend it — there are no intersections, it nicely continue with soft body simulation. But softbody dynamics build constraints for every new object. And if geometry first appears as deformed — wrong constraints are initialized, and each new object becomes crumpled real quick. Also there's "Mix Animation" -> "Follow Shape" checkbox, which rebuild constraints (or adjusts them - who knows?) — and it reads original point positions, as I understood. So I had to have both — original geo, and cache. Where cache used to simulate geometry in 3D, and original object (CacheParent?) will be used for constraints.

@baca Thank you! Works like a charm!

Hi Illia, I haven't been able to properly stress test the new code, but by the first look it seems to be working. Thanks! Dan

Hey @d_schmidt, The project files you sent me clearly had been compiled on MacOS, all the Xcode build fragments are still there and so are the MacOS plugin binaries. [image: 1700144525927-af5816db-1df0-444d-9723-89095081c4ed-image.png] That aside, since you said that you are compiling on PC, I tried there again. I had to provide a missing projectdefintion.txt in your solution and provide the missing frameworks, I chose again the 2024.0.0 frameworks. I also again debugged against 2024.1.0. I also had to fix the main.cpp as waiting for the resources being loaded had been removed on C4DPL_INIT_SYS being emitted. What then had the effect that the resources of the plugin were not being found. Other than that, I still had no memory leaks. If you want any further help, you should try to explain more precisely what you are doing: OS, hardware, with which SDK version are you building, with which Cinema 4D are you debugging, what is your VS/Xcode version, are you compiling for debug or release, any customizations, etc. An ongoing problem is also that I must fix/invent things before I can compile and run your code - which is not ideal in such cases. Cheers, Ferdinand Fixed main.cpp: #include "main.h" // must be included when removing the other includes from the SDK #include "c4d_resource.h" Bool PluginStart() { if (!RegisterOptimizeObject()) return true; return true; } void PluginEnd(){} Bool PluginMessage(Int32 id, void* data) { switch (id) { case C4DPL_INIT_SYS: // The following two lines are required for a plugin to function properly. if (!g_resource.Init()) return false; return true; case C4DMSG_PRIORITY: return true; case C4DPL_EDITIMAGE: return false; } return false; } My VS output console dump. This is from before I fixed your main.cpp, and even there I had no leaks: // Boot Sequence Messages [...] // I instantiated an ooptimizeobject, these errors are caused by the butchered main.cpp, it does not wait for the resources being loaded. Symbol resource error: Couldn't open file.

Hi @ferdinand , Thanks for your explain, I would convert the svg files to png then regist them for a temp solution, and wait the attribute valid in python. Thanks always for your awesome works. Cheers~ DunHou

ah ok I figured it out. its possible to check those with the c4d.IsCommandChecked() function.

Hi @mikeudin thanks a lot for the report, this is a regression due to a last minute optimization within the internal Python API parsing done for which bring around 20% performance boost of the Python Effector in 2024.0. So any other classic API (c4d module) previously accepting a maxon.Vector or maxon.Color/A as an argument will be impacted (only ColorSwatchGroup.SetColor and ColorSwatchGroup.AddColor are affected by these changes) With that's said I was never a big fan of mixed datatype from classic API and maxon API, so even if this is a regression I think I prefer the new behavior. I will discuss that internally and see what is the outcome. I will keep you posted. Cheers, Maxime.

@kangddan @Dunhou

Hey @baca, Just as an FYI, this bug has been fixed and it will be included in one of the upcoming releases of Cinema 4D, quite likely the next release. Cheers, Ferdinand

@ferdinand said in c4d.MCOMMAND_EXPLODESEGMENTS makes target object dead: Select 0th polygon in a mesh. SMC: MCOMMAND_SELECTCONNECTED SMC: MCOMMAND_SPLIT Delete the selected polygons. When no polygons are left, exit, otherwise goto 1. Oh, great idea. Not that elegant, but seems legit. Thanks again.

Oh sorry, thank you. I totally missed that.

Thanks for that @ferdinand @m_adam , yes, Ferdinand is right, Maxime's point is too "pro" for me, and with some maxon decorators I never used in some way mess me up, with Ferdinand's "rookie" like explain that I can understand this more, thanks for your both respected work. Cheers~ DunHou
