Thanks for your answer, it solved my problem. I used: Vector::ClampMax() and Vector::ClampMin() to limit the tangent to the value I want. Thank, AiMiDi

@Cairyn @ferdinand Thanks for the response. The python generator works as expected. I did try to retrieve the cache earlier for mograph but with a python tag rather than a python generator, but it has some priority delays. Your solution is much more stable. Now, I don't have to jump to houdini for such simple scenes. Have a great day ahead!

It works perfectly, thanks again! Cheers, Frank

Works like a charm, thank you! Greetings, Frank

Hello @AiMiDi, without any further feedback or questions, we will consider this topic as solved by Wednesday and flag it accordingly. Thank you for your understanding, Ferdinand

hi, by the way, i forgot to talk about the thread thing. This thread might help And of course our manuals about threading Cheers Manuel

Hi @Filip, okay, thank you for the clarification. Cheers, Ferdinand

Hi @mp5gosu , I will set the topic as closed. Note that the fix will not come in the next update but don't worry we have it logged and it's on our list of things to fix in the future. Cheers, Maxime.

Hi, Sorry about not having time to investigate the gradient part of your question. I was waiting for feedback about the color presets. With the new asset browser out there's no point into investigate this question furthermore. Cheers, Manuel

forget about it. i removed the c4d.OBJECT_INPUT flag during development and forgot to add it back.

Hi @x_nerve, thank you for reaching out to us. The most straightforward way to sample a FieldObject is FieldObject.Sample; there are also other sample methods attached to the various fields related classes, most notably c4d.FieldList. We have two examples in the Python SDK examples which showcase field sampling, fieldlist_sampling_r20 and fieldobject_sampling_20. You also mention "Is there a way to get the weight of the cube field points?"; you are probably aware of this, but since your phrasing could imply otherwise, it seems noteworthy to point out that fields are not discrete. So in other words, there is no finite amount of points you can exhaustively sample for a field object, since the object is non-discrete. You have to pick a point or a set of points you want to sample for a field object, which can be any point in in the value range c4d.Vector can handle. If there are any questions left, please do not hesitate to ask. Cheers, Ferdinand

@ferdinand you were clear and example is pretty good, I got the idea. No need to write code for me But it's not trivial overall, I just need to spend some time on this. Thanks again.

Hi @bentraje, hi @C4DS, you seem to have solved your problem yourself, so there is not much for me to add here apart from offering alternative solutions. One slightly dodgy way to get the preferences path is to use the path which is stored under c4d.PREF_MEMORY_PVHARDFOLDER in the world container of Cinema (it is the Memory>Cache Path attribute). A more elegant way is to use maxon.Application.GetUrl() which does properly handle the different paths under which the preferences can be stored (see example at the end of my posting for details). Cheers, Ferdinand """On how to iterate over the different preferences paths with the maxon API. """ import maxon def main(): """Entry point. """ for urlType in (maxon.APPLICATION_URLTYPE.GLOBALPREFS_DIR, maxon.APPLICATION_URLTYPE.PREFS_DIR, maxon.APPLICATION_URLTYPE.PREFS_DIR_STATIC): print (f"{urlType}:{maxon.Application.GetUrl(urlType)}") if __name__=='__main__': main()

Thanks, Maxime! Looks like I have it running flawlessly now. good work on Terraform looks solid! Thank you! It is pretty solid, yes Cheers & happy Easter, Frank

hi @Boony2000 , these are Visual Studio Intellisense errors which you can safely ignore. If they bother you switch the filter from "Build + Intellisense" to "Build". Cheers, R

@ferdinand Hi Ferdinand, Thank you for your time and help! Will get it sorted with your pointers above. All the best! Andre

Good to hear, thanks!

Hi @Hugo-BATTISTELLA , without further questions or feedback, we will consider this thread as solved by Monday and flag it accordingly. Cheers, Ferdinand

Thanks for all the extra info guys! I'll make sure to use the ask-as-a-question feature next time
