@m_magalhaes Thanks for the confirmation.

@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.

@r_gigante Gotcha. Thanks for the warning.

The bug is fixed in S22. Cheers, Maxime.

Hi, This is solved in the last documentation update. Cheers, Maxime.

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

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

@m_adam Thanks for the response (and the reference link) Works as expected.

Hi, This is solved in the last documentation update, see BaseBitmap.ScaleIt. Cheers, Maxime.

@m_adam Thank you, Maxime, for going to this effort.

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

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!

@esan said in OperatorSetData for "Lists"?: Another quick question. is there still a bug on c4d.GV_OBJECT_OPERATOR_OBJECT_OUT? Yes it's still there and being R20 maintenance ended it's likely to remain. Best, R

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

@jcooper said in How to set completely custom render output filename?: How do I control how much zero-padding is used for the $frame token? We typically use 4-digit, zero-padded frame tokens, but what if a situation called for, say, 6 digits? Hi John, with regard to the $frametoken the zero-padding is hardcoded but as stated by @zipit you can workaround it by registering your token (see here) . How do I get at the RenderData for a specific renderer such as Redshift? For instance, it has its own "filename" attribute, but I don't know how to access/modify it from the python API. You need to retrieve the RedShift BaseVideoPost and retrieve the corresponding data from its BaseContainer. Check the code below # Get the active RenderData renderData = doc.GetActiveRenderData() if renderData is None: raise RuntimeError("Failed to retrieve the render data.") # Get the active render settings renderSettings = renderData.GetData() if renderSettings is None: raise RuntimeError("Failed to retrieve the render settings.") # Get the first video post videopost = renderData.GetFirstVideoPost() if videopost is None: raise RuntimeError("Failed to retrieve the videopost associated with the render data.") # Search for the RedShift videopost while videopost is not None and videopost.GetType() != 1036219: print "RedShift is not set as renderer in the active RenderData, check next" videopost = videopost.GetNext() rsAOV = None # Retrieve the AOV -> Filname param value if videopost is not None and videopost.GetType() == 1036219: rsAOV = videopost[c4d.REDSHIFT_RENDERER_AOV_PATH] # Reads the path stored in the render setting path = renderSettings[c4d.RDATA_PATH] # Add token to the path path = path + rsAOV # Tokenizes the path from the render engine rpd = {'_doc': doc, '_rData': renderData, '_rBc': renderSettings, '_frame': 1} exclude = [] finalFilename = c4d.modules.tokensystem.FilenameConvertTokensFilter(path, rpd, exclude)+".png" print finalFilename

Hi @blastframe this is also the behavior of AutoKey in the Editor, so I would say is not an API issue. But you can use BaseDocument.Record to simulate the click of AddKeyFrame (but of course correct parameter have to be checked). Cheers, Maxime.

@m_adam Thanks for the response. For some reason, the return value is not accepted by the SetFont. It does not error out. It just uses the default font. In addition, how were you able to determine that the [508] is for the font name? I can't seem to see such reference in the documentation. You can check the working code here: import c4d from c4d import gui # Welcome to the world of Python def GetSegoeUiBoldFont(): bcFonts = c4d.bitmaps.GeClipMap.EnumerateFonts(c4d.GE_CM_FONTSORT_HIERARCHICAL) for familyId, familyBc in bcFonts: for fontDescriptionId, fontDescription in familyBc: if fontDescription[508] == "SegoeUI-Bold": return fontDescription print fontDescription def main(): w = 50 h = 50 image_with_text = c4d.bitmaps.GeClipMap() image_with_text.Init(w=w,h=h,bits=32) image_with_text.BeginDraw() image_with_text.SetColor(125,255,255) image_with_text.FillRect(x1=0,y1=0,x2=50,y2=50) image_with_text.SetColor(0,0,0) font_bc = GetSegoeUiBoldFont() print font_bc font_size = 15 image_with_text.SetFont(font_bc,font_size) image_with_text.TextAt(x=10,y=15,txt='head') image_with_text.EndDraw() bmp = image_with_text.GetBitmap() c4d.bitmaps.ShowBitmap(bmp) # Execute main() if __name__=='__main__': main()
