Wow, thanks for the example, @r_gigante. Was it always possible to import a redshift module? Or is there any info from which version on (C4D / Redshift) this is possible!? Thanks, Lasse

You're welcome, Manuel. Actually, I usually prepare all the textures and mapping to be in UVW mapping, when texturing is required. But, mainly, what I need is exporting geometry that is animated.

Thanks, I understand. I am now going to do it outside DrawMsg in parallel (thread) plugin. See my other post. https://developers.maxon.net/forum/topic/12310/best-plugin-type-for-background-thread-processing -Pim

Since R21 sp1 issue regarding ByteSeq not being able to be printed in the Python Console is resolved. Cheers, Maxime.

The issue about PYTHONPATH is now resolved in R21 Sp2. Cheers, Maxime

This bug is now resolved in R21 sp2. Cheers, Maxime

This bug is now resolved in R21 sp2. Cheers, Maxime

Hi, This is solved in the last documentation update. Cheers, Maxime.

Hi, This is solved in the last documentation update, see BaseBitmap.ScaleIt. Cheers, Maxime.

@m_adam Thanks for the info! I knew I was still missing a few flags

@m_adam got it! it's working now. The final code for my float sdf exporter is here.

@r_gigante @kbar Thanks for the infomation. I assumed that was the case and it makes sense, I'm just reluctant to stop supporting older versions of Cinema but it might be time. Riccardo, I think I was using the incorrect version of osX or XCode, not sure which, but using your codesign worked when I moved onto a later version of both and it is correctly signing my R20 compiles. Thanks both of you for all of the help and clarifying of notarization. Dan

Additional information here: https://developers.maxon.net/forum/topic/12295/bug-with-getlink-setlink-hyperfile/3 Thank you @m_magalhaes & @r_gigante!

My apologies: I didn't understand how BaseLink worked and this clarified things. Thank you!

i forgot to mention: 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 added the tags and marked this thread as a question so when you considered it as solved, please change the state Cheers, Manuel

Amazing! Thank you Manuel! It works with multiple objects, Cloners etc. Without your help I would not make it

Hi @C4DS , maybe I wasn't enough clear. you end up with a single merged object, which has 2 selection tags, and both still have the specific name ... but none have the added unique ID. Surely you start to think something is really wrong. Actually you end up in a new mesh with new selection tags which beside having the data copied from the two source selection tags, they are NEW and hence the UniqueID is not supposed to be kept. The names are kept for convenience but I don't see any reason to have also the UniqueID being kept considering that - in the end - they are indeed new instances and have nothing to do with the source selection tags. Cheers, R

Hi @C4DS, thanks for following up. One note that it's worthy to share: the outcomes of this thread are valid as long as you need to stick to Classic API. In Maxon API (R20 and higher) you can make very good use of the CustomDataTag (see also GitHub example) whose data merging is managed directly by the modeling kernel. Last but not least, as usual, if the discussion has come to an end, please don't forget to mark the question as SOLVED. Cheers, R
