@zipit, thanks for this extra information!
Indeed my assumption is / was that Write is only called, when you save the scene file.

Hi @zipit

Apologies for the late response.
Your code sample looks interesting. And yep, close to what I was looking for. Stacking columns of clickable images/text
I keep looking back at it every now and then but I have to admit, it's beyond me at the moment really beyond me at the moment.

Maybe I was just a bit spoiled with other GUI interface such as tkinter or PyQT, where it is relatively easy to implement.
Just copy some code and modify some parts. Or maybe there are just more available examples in tkinter and PyQT that fits my need.

Will get back to this topic when I have the necessary skillset.
Sorry for the trouble and thanks again.

Indeed, it is necessary to use two matrices
For an object named polygonName, we will have:

Matrix = polygonName.GetMg () inverseMatrix = ~ Matrix

Matrix converts local coordinates to global coordinates.
After finishing working in global coordinates, we return to local coordinates with inverseMatrix
We can thus modify the polygon with the new local coordinates.

These two matrices allow to work with the points, which is very convenient.

This subject is very well explained here:

Thx for the answers,

@Manuel I was just trying to set some library specific defines. I tried with a random define text and it breaks plugins.

@Kent I will try that, thank you.

Shouldn't it however also work how I did it?

Hello,

For your next threads, please help us keeping things organised and clean. I know it's not your priority but it really simplify our work here.

Q&A New Functionality. How to Post Questions especially the tagging part.

I've already done for this thread.

I can just confirm what @zipit said. Nothing to add 🙂

Cheers,

@zipit and @Cairyn have already answer here (thanks a lot) nothing to add.

@m_adam said in Bake Texture within ObjectData:

bakeBmp = c4d.bitmaps.MultipassBitmap(512, 512, c4d.COLORMODE_RGBf)

This example helped me a lot. Thank you so much.

@m_adam
Anyway, thanks for your time!

I used the frame of your code to make plugins from scripts that I wrote, and now I can send my results to the console.
Thanks

Thanks for all the support.
I will use all the knowledge gained and start testing.
I am sure, I will be back with more questions.

Hi @affa

May I ask you in which context you are?

Can you share your code?
Did you take a look to the py-custom_icon.pyp plugin example.

Cheers,
Maxime.

Aha, thanks.

OK, thanks!

Thank you, Riccardo. That was exactly what I was doing wrong.

Thank You,
How embarrassing I forgot to write back to the UserData. (I shouldn't code late at night) Solved.

hello,

without further addition on your part, this thread will be considered as solved tomorrow.

Cheers,
Manuel.

hello,

up to version R20 you can use GeGetVersionType but this have been removed with the version R21 (we only have one package now)

With the version R21 follow you have several functions see this page

to check the version you can check for API_VERSION

#if API_VERSION > 20999 ApplicationOutput("this is a message"); #else GePrint("this is a message"); #endif

Cheers
Manuel

@m_adam Thanks, yes, you're right, a timer may be my best choice here to avoid too much load on the system. Checking the project list every 3 seconds or so should suffice for the usecases. And since I'm in a GeDialog, the timer function is easy to implement.

(I just have to take care that within the 3 seconds, the state of the dialog may be inconsistent with the actual system state.)

@zipit

Thanks for the clarification.
Yea, I guess so but just learning as much as I can.

Thanks again!

hi,

nice, feel free to share your solution and mark this thread as solved.

Cheers,
Manuel
