hello, We need to ask if you are compiling the SDK, your own project, etc. Different question, you should open a different thread It will help other people to find the thread. Cheers, Manuel

Hi, thank you for the clarification. Cheers zipit

Thank you for the help @m_magalhaes

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

Hi Riccardo, Thank you for the detailed answer. With the many options available, I chose one that fits best with our installer. Again, thanks for the help! Maxime

Hi Root Star, thanks for reaching out us. With regard to the IDE version, we highly suggest sticking the compatibility table reported in our documentation. Visual Studio 2019 is not supported by R20 and it's likely not to be officially supported also on R21. With regard to .hxx files, these are generated by our source processor when the building process is initiated and it's highly discouraged to change or get rid of them during the building process. The issues you're facing are highly related to the fact that the solution/project file(s) built by the projecttool (when kernel_app_64bit.exe g_updateProject=<your path to Cinema SDK> is executed) are not 100% compatible with VS2019 resulting in building tool-chain flaws. Best, Riccardo

hello, this thread will be considered as Solved tomorrow is you have nothing to add. Cheers Manuel

hello, we are sorry to hear that. Unfortunately this forum is for maxon API support and for every thirds party developers. Your issue look like a bug or something, you have to use this platform instead side remark : As this is your first post i would also like to point you to this topic I've set this up this time but it is important, that will help us and the community. Cheers Manuel

@mp5gosu I have one last question. on the thread for custom nodes that you mentioned above there was a file which was posted from Niklas. https://raw2.github.com/PluginCafe/examples/master/treeview/custom-nodes/custom-nodes.cpp Since this file was not there anymore and most probably it was a full code of what I am asking for, can it be that you or someone else might have that file somehow? That would be a great help. Thank you.

Thanks for guiding Regards, Folexin

Again sorry, I've tested with the Studio version. Using C4DPL_PROGRAM_STARTED case I can confirm this "bug" with a Educational version and a Demo version. Not with the Studio version. Maybe something with that extra "popup" windows on those both versions. Cheers Manuel.

Hello @m_adam I see, I will have to use one of the other alternatives then. Thank you.

Thank YOU

Since no news, I mark it as solved (closed), but feel free to open it again.

Ok, I will give it a try and let you know. Thanks.

As stated before, we are working on it and it will be released in the future. I can't say more. Regarding your question @Aaron this will be possible.

Thanks Sebastian! Looking forward for a fix. Meanwhile I'll take care of your recommendation. Best, Robert

Hi Riccardo, I think the issue is solved because there is no any issue. Some not good methods of software distribution just confused us. Btw, what benefits different parameters of SetPluginPriority() give to us? For example the xdll has several plugins like materials, shader, tags and renderer. Even some icons with plugin ids. What priority is better to use in this case? I see https://developers.maxon.net/docs/cpp/2023_2/page_manual_module_functions.html For example, what is C4DPL_INIT_PRIORITY_ADVANCEDRENDER: Does it give higher thread priority during some PV rendering task? Or does it just load the plugin before other renderers and give the chance to lock system resources before others?

@m_adam Oops. Okay, GeRayCollider works only for polygon objects, as does GetPixelInfoPolygon. The idea was to provide a new selection method for arbitrary objects by just checking all hits of a scattered PickObject within a radius, and then select the nearest hit. For that, I need to be able to hit splines and parametric objects as well. Okay, I guess I can still do that in C++ then, thanks.

HI Andreas, no worries, this question was not exclusively targeted at Maxon, the opposite is the case. I was hoping for some information by other users here, like @kbar or even @m_adam (back in the days Maxime was not associated with Maxon. ;)) Meanwhile, I'm going to build a toolchain and see what works for me. I'll report back here if I have something to show. That may help someone else.
