c4d.modules.mograph¶

class c4d.modules.mograph¶

Note

By default, for legacy reason, an effector added programmatically to the scene will use the falloff option. To switch that effector to fields, the effector need to receive a message MSG_MENUPREPARE. This message can be sent with field.Message(c4d.MSG_MENUPREPARE, currentDoc);

Attributes

FIELD_EXECUTION_BLOCK_SIZEf¶: The size of a block that’s executed in an MP environment.

For single depth execution a value closer to 1200 is actually more optimal, with one group 600 and from then on for each group depth you can expect a drop of a third.

For general usage on current architectures this gives the best balance.

Type: Float

Functions Documentation

c4d.modules.mograph.GeGetMoData(op)¶

Returns the MoGraph data of an object.

Parameters: op (c4d.BaseObject) – The object.
Return type: MoData
Returns: The MoGraph data.

c4d.modules.mograph.GeGetMoDataSelection(op)¶

Retrieves the MoGraph clones selection.

New in version R18.020.

Parameters: op (c4d.BaseList2D) – Can be either a MoGraph Selection tag BaseTag(c4d.Tmgselection) or an object with a MoGraph Selection tag.
Return type: c4d.BaseSelect
Returns: The clones selection.

c4d.modules.mograph.GeSetMoDataSelection(op, selection)¶

Sets the MoGraph clones selection.

New in version R18.039.

Warning

Before R21, makes sure to call C4DAtom.SetDirty() after any usage of this method to properly updates the mograph object.

In R21 this bug was fixed so the next code is no more needed.

# mographObject is the host mograph object of the MoGraph Selection tag: BaseTag(c4d.Tmgselection).
mographObject.SetDirty(c4d.DIRTYFLAGS_DATA)
mographObject.Message(c4d.MSG_UPDATE)

Parameters

op (c4d.BaseList2D) – Can be either a MoGraph Selection tag BaseTag(c4d.Tmgselection) or an object with a MoGraph Selection tag.
selection (c4d.BaseSelect) – The clones selection to set.

Return type

bool

Returns

True if successful, otherwise False.

c4d.modules.mograph.GeGetMoDataWeights(op)¶

Retrieves the MoGraph clones weights.

New in version R18.020.

Parameters: op (c4d.BaseList2D) – Can be either a MoGraph Weightmap tag BaseTag(c4d.Tmgweight) or an object with a MoGraph Weightmap tag.
Return type: List[float]
Returns: The clones weights.

c4d.modules.mograph.GeSetMoDataWeights(op, weights)¶

Sets the MoGraph clones weights.

New in version R18.039.

Warning

Before R21, makes sure to call C4DAtom.SetDirty() after any usage of this method to properly updates the mograph object. In R21 this bug was fixed so the next code is no more needed.

# mographObject is the host mograph object of the MoGraph Weight tag: BaseTag(c4d.Tmgweight).
# moSelTag is a BaseTag(c4d.Tmgweight)
moSelTag.SetDirty(c4d.DIRTYFLAGS_DATA)
mographObject.SetDirty(c4d.DIRTYFLAGS_DATA)
mographObject.Message(c4d.MSG_UPDATE)

Parameters

op (c4d.BaseList2D) – Can be either a MoGraph Weight tag BaseTag(c4d.Tmgweight) or an object with a MoGraph Weight tag.
weights (List[float]) – The clones weights to set.

Return type

bool

Returns

True if successful, otherwise False.
