Hello, without seeing your code or any error message it is impossible to give any advice. But "works in viewport but not in rendering" sounds like you are using c4d.documents.GetActiveDocument() somewhere. See also BaseDocument Manual. best wishes, Sebastian

@m_magalhaes Thank you. I made some changes but its work! Cheers, Mustapha

@s_bach Thank you. Sorry for tags, I added tags in my topic but were not included. I don't know why.

Hello, This thread will be considered as solved tomorrow unless you have something to add ? Cheers, Manuel

Ok, thank you. I was a bit unsure what "one ring points" are supposed to be and if this is actually a bug and not a feature Cheers, zipit

This is a great start - will defiantly be using this to get closer to the desired end result Thanks so much Manuel for your help!

@m_adam Thanks for the help. Works as expected. Have a great day ahead!

hi @cinamatic , You should open a new thread for your question as it is not related to this thread. I found this thread where you will find some useful information about takes and material. If you have any question, please open your own thread explaining what you are trying to achieve and pointing to those different threads. Futur user will find every information to follow the discussion. Cheers, Manuel

@m_adam thanks so using c4d.documents.SaveDocument the window is still showing up.. even with "SAVEDOCUMENTFLAGS_NONE" or "SAVEDOCUMENTFLAGS_AUTOSAVE" could it still be showing up because of an error in the file path its trying to save to or something like that?

@m_adam Thanks a lot, great help, I will try your way

@m_adam said in [python] SetFont not working: In which version are you? The code I posted is working nicely in R20.059. 20.059. Before i tried any methods, that's my fail. Not work for me. From new start of c4d. - it works

Hello, Sorry for the delay. The bugs have been confirmed and will be fixed on a futur release. Cheers Manuel

@ilad Well, it's not limited to non-animated objects. As @r_gigante posted, you're actually modifying the points and the matrix. Both operations can also be achieved manually. So, no difference if animated or not. The only thing you have to keep in mind when modifying animated objects is to make sure, all keys containing Matrix/PLA data have to be handled as well.

hello, If you have nothing to add, this thread will be considered as "solved" tomorrow. Cheers, Manuel

Found it! c4d.documents.IsolateObjects(doc, t_objects) A helper routine to copy the objects t_objects of document doc to a new document (returned). All materials associated are also copied over and the links are corrected. Parameters: doc (c4d.documents.BaseDocument) – The document that contains the objects in t_objects. t_objects (List[c4d.BaseObject]) – The objects to isolate. Return type: c4d.documents.BaseDocument Returns: The document containing the isolated objects. Thank you all !

@m_adam Thank you very much ! it is certainly helpful !!

Hi Maxime, thanks for the response! I was aware that the scene gets copied, but unaware of the GetDocument function so it definitely makes sense! I will give that a try and report back. I have been trying this with both a python effector, as well as in a python xpresso node. Andrew

hello, thanks @tummosoft, it's nice to see it's helpful @ilad By the way instead of ID_BASEOBJECT_POSITION you could have use ID_BASEOBJECT_REL_POSITION. Both Ids are the same. If you want to know how to get those ids you can use the python console and drag and drop parameters, more information on this page In this case the DescID is composed of two DescLevel. The first define the Vector type, the second de Float type for X, Y and Z. (DescID can have less or more levels) To change the Size.Y of the cube, the descID will be : c4d.DescID(c4d.DescLevel(c4d.PRIM_CUBE_LEN, c4d.DTYPE_VECTOR, 0), c4d.DescLevel(c4d.VECTOR_Y, c4d.DTYPE_REAL, 0))) To change the scale of the object the descID will be : c4d.DescID(c4d.DescLevel(c4d.ID_BASEOBJECT_REL_SCALE, c4d.DTYPE_VECTOR, 0), c4d.DescLevel(c4d.VECTOR_Y, c4d.DTYPE_REAL, 0))) Cheers Manuel

Wow, thanks so much for this complete Example, Maxime..!!! Great work, really appreciated! Cheers, Lasse
