Thanks @ferdinand,

Thats gone too far, we can close this subj now.
I think I have a solution already.

I just wasn't clear enough in the beginning, I just wanted to know if PolygonObject can be forced to produce it's cache object by a command.

I made an experiment where I spawn flat geometries between other flat geometries. Like planes in-between of deformed soft body planes. Here's working example:
Setup:
417b1a04-77c9-4163-bc6f-36c2800323f5-image.png
And simulation:
cloth_multiply__03_.gif

Once you clone original geometry — it's flat, and there would be intersections and simulation will be broken.
So you need to blend newborn geo point positions in-between of existing geometry points.
Once you blend it — there are no intersections, it nicely continue with soft body simulation.
But softbody dynamics build constraints for every new object. And if geometry first appears as deformed — wrong constraints are initialized, and each new object becomes crumpled real quick.
Also there's "Mix Animation" -> "Follow Shape" checkbox, which rebuild constraints (or adjusts them - who knows?) — and it reads original point positions, as I understood.

So I had to have both — original geo, and cache.
Where cache used to simulate geometry in 3D, and original object (CacheParent?) will be used for constraints.

Hey @WickedP,

Good to hear that you solved your problem. And I know that the color management and pixel format stuff can be a royal pain in the ***, you have my sympathies. Things tend to also get REALLY lovely when you also must deal with OCIO.

Please do not hesitate to reach out again when you run in further troubles.

Cheers,
ferdinand

Hey @kbar,

Thank you for reaching out to us. In the public API there is only what you can find in Plugin Licensing Manual. The natural solution for this would be an observable to which you can attach, but there is none in the public API.

What you could do is try workarounds:

Register a MessageData plugin and check periodically yourself. This might work okay for certain license change events, but when the license change induces a shutdown of Cinema 4D (a user released a license for example), you might get event starved. So, this is not great. Hook into the shutdown of Cinema 4D itself. When we want to specifically target the event that a license is being released, we can build upon the fact that Cinema 4D will then shut down. MAXON_INITIALIZATION: This is a bad choice in this case, because when the shutdown delegate of MAXON_INITIALIZATION is running, most registries already have been shut down. So, I would not be surprised, if all the license stuff is not working anymore at this point (I have not checked though). The advantage is here that MAXON_INITIALIZATION often makes for nicer looking code than PluginMessage. PluginMessage: Hook into the shutdown sequence of Cinema 4D, and check the license state there. C4DPL_ENDACTIVITY is the best event to start with.

The problem is here that I do not know how licenses behave when a user releases a license. The idea would be to check for example on shutdown, if there is still a commercial license bound to this instance:

// Create the ID for a commercial Cinema 4D license. maxon::InternedId feature; feature.Init("net.maxon.license.app.cinema4d-release~commercial"_s) iferr_return; // Check if the given #feature is active in the current license of this instance. if (!CheckLicenseFeature(feature)) ReleasePluginLicense(userId);

But it could very well be that it takes some time before a released license 'kicks in' in a shutdown process and that you must go further into no-mans-land than C4DPL_ENDACTIVITY (where more and more services will be shut down). Internally, we have a licensing API which has observables which communicate such events. I will bring up the subject internally if we can make the framework fully or partially public.

Cheers,
Ferdinand

Hi @Brakusha, welcome in plugin cafe !

c4d.ID_OPERATOR_COFFEE is working in all versions, please open a new topic with a code that demonstrate the issue and with a short explanation about what you want to achieve. I would also highly recommend you to read our Support Guideline to know how to get the best support from us.

Cheers,
Maxime.

ah! Thanks a lot!

WOW!!! It turns out that there is a node specifically for python. But in the documentation, in the list GV Node Types, it is not indicated. This fact forced me to look for workarounds. Thanks for the help

@chuanzhen ,

Sorry for the delayed answer.

The layer.locked behavior is integrated deeply in the internal code of cinema bypassing common cinema pipelines. Unfortunately, there's no good way to imitate such behavior without using layers.

In case you decide to proceed with the layer approach, there's an example in github repo highlighting the usage of SetLayerData() function: layer_creates_r13.py.

Ilia

Hi @matrixloong ,

Please excuse the delayed answer.

The real-time scenario is one of those that might not go very smoothly in cinema (check the links in my previous message). It was already discussed in the thread: Is it possible to control Camera with keyboard WASD like a FPS game?

Ferdinand showed there one of the possible solutions to achieve live interactions on the scene using interaction dialog. You can use the simplified version of it below.

Cheers,
Ilia

Run this code from the script manager and select an object in the object manager.

import c4d, time, math doc: c4d.documents.BaseDocument # The active document class InteractionDialog(c4d.gui.GeDialog): TIMER_DELAY = 40 def CreateLayout(self): return True def InitValues(self): self._doc: c4d.BaseDocument = doc self.SetTimer(InteractionDialog.TIMER_DELAY) self._time = None self._lastTime = None self._angle = 0 return True def Timer(self, msg): # Initialize the time for the first frame a key is being pressed. if self._lastTime is None: self._lastTime = time.time() return None # The delta between now and the last evaluation dt = time.time() - self._lastTime self.DoSomething(dt) self._lastTime = time.time() def DoSomething(self, dt): op: c4d.BaseObject = self._doc.GetActiveObject() if not op: return PI2 = 2 * math.pi angleIncrement = dt * PI2 / 2 self._angle += angleIncrement if self._angle >= PI2: self._angle -= PI2 ml: c4d.Matrix = op.GetMl() bb: c4d.Vector = op.GetRad() pos: c4d.Vector = ml.off pos.x = bb.x * math.sin(self._angle) ml.off = pos op.SetMl(ml) c4d.EventAdd() if __name__ == '__main__': global dialog dialog = InteractionDialog(doc) dialog.Open(c4d.DLG_TYPE_ASYNC)

Hello @Aeoll-0,

Thank you for reaching out to us. You should be a bit more specific about the circumstances and which you are using the command. As declared in our Support Guidelines, you should always post executable code, as we are otherwise are guessing what you are doing.

The self.filedir implies that this happens in a method, which in turn could mean that you are trying to do this off-main-thread. This is not allowed. I also gave it a spin myself, and for me it works.

Note that after the operation, the opened file is not the old file anymore. So, when you had a \data\a\myfile.c4d and saved to backup\a\, the opened file will be backup\a\myfile.c4d and not \data\a\myfile.c4d. Because of that, such newly "exported" documents will also induce thumbnail rendering. When you are trying to save many documents at once in this manner, the thumbnail rendering could make Cinema unresponsive. The path into which you want to dump things must also exist, Cinema 4D cannot create it for you.

I have tested this in 2023.2.2 and 2024.1.0 and found no problems in both versions.

Cheers,
Ferdinand

That is great! Thanks!

Hello @ryanjp,

Welcome to the Plugin Café forum and the Cinema 4D development community, it is great to have you with us!

Getting Started

Before creating your next postings, we would recommend making yourself accustomed with our Forum and Support Guidelines, as they line out details about the Maxon SDK Group support procedures. Of special importance are:

Support Procedures: Scope of Support: Lines out the things we will do and what we will not do. Support Procedures: Confidential Data: Most questions should be accompanied by code but code cannot always be shared publicly. This section explains how to share code confidentially with Maxon. Forum Structure and Features: Lines out how the forum works. Structure of a Question: Lines out how to ask a good technical question. It is not mandatory to follow this exactly, but you should follow the idea of keeping things short and mentioning your primary question in a clear manner. About your First Question

We were not sure to which RS material type you are referring - Xpresso based RS material or the RS node material.

Here are informations for both:

Node API Python examples, mostly focusing on material nodes: https://github.com/PluginCafe/cinema4d_py_sdk_extended/tree/master/scripts/05_modules/node

Example for a general pattern for writing an "material converter", here at the example of mapping material models in the RS Xpresso system to the standard material model space.
https://developers.maxon.net/forum/topic/14753/script-that-converts-redshift-materials-back-to-c4d-standard-ones/20

Note: In 2024 Redshift renamed all attributes in its legacy material type RS C4D Shader, with the result that the
MAPPINGS data defined in the script is incorrect now. While one can easily update the mappings, many ports are just named Color now. You either have to use IDs in the meantime or wait for the update which fixes this port naming issue.

Cheers
Jana

Hey @d_schmidt,

The project files you sent me clearly had been compiled on MacOS, all the Xcode build fragments are still there and so are the MacOS plugin binaries.

af5816db-1df0-444d-9723-89095081c4ed-image.png

That aside, since you said that you are compiling on PC, I tried there again. I had to provide a missing projectdefintion.txt in your solution and provide the missing frameworks, I chose again the 2024.0.0 frameworks. I also again debugged against 2024.1.0.

I also had to fix the main.cpp as waiting for the resources being loaded had been removed on C4DPL_INIT_SYS being emitted. What then had the effect that the resources of the plugin were not being found. Other than that, I still had no memory leaks.

If you want any further help, you should try to explain more precisely what you are doing: OS, hardware, with which SDK version are you building, with which Cinema 4D are you debugging, what is your VS/Xcode version, are you compiling for debug or release, any customizations, etc. An ongoing problem is also that I must fix/invent things before I can compile and run your code - which is not ideal in such cases.

Cheers,
Ferdinand

Fixed main.cpp:

#include "main.h" // must be included when removing the other includes from the SDK #include "c4d_resource.h" Bool PluginStart() { if (!RegisterOptimizeObject()) return true; return true; } void PluginEnd(){} Bool PluginMessage(Int32 id, void* data) { switch (id) { case C4DPL_INIT_SYS: // The following two lines are required for a plugin to function properly. if (!g_resource.Init()) return false; return true; case C4DMSG_PRIORITY: return true; case C4DPL_EDITIMAGE: return false; } return false; }

My VS output console dump. This is from before I fixed your main.cpp, and even there I had no leaks:

// Boot Sequence Messages [...] // I instantiated an ooptimizeobject, these errors are caused by the butchered main.cpp, it does not wait for the resources being loaded.

Oh wow! Thank you so much!
Yes I'm a beginner with python cinema 4D so I really appreciate your support and this definitly gives me a better understanding of the node structure.

Hey @apetownart,

Thank you for sharing your solution, much appreciated! I have fenced in your code with a code block so that it is a bit more readable and has a copy button. Find out how to do that yourself in our Forum Markup documenation.

Cheers,
Ferdinand

This is an excellent explanation , thank you.

Hi @ferdinand ,

I'm sorry that my title and description may be a little confused, maybe I misunderstood something and thought a little complicated.
And thank you very much for your answer, you always help me when my thinking is confused.

Cheers!

Hi Gabriel,

Sorry for the delay in this thread.

Unfortunately you cannot control this folding GUI functionality as it is sealed to the non-public GUI implementation. That would not be the case when using custom GUI implementations.

Hi @LingZA ,

To achieve this in C++ you need to set DESC_STEP parameter of the corresponding BaseContainer, e.g. bc->SetFloat(DESC_STEP, 1.0f);.

For getting the editable BaseContainer you need to use GetParameterI() function on your description, please refer to the Description Manual.

Ilia

Hey @Thodos,

without the console output of your browser, I cannot say much. I suspect that a DNS is failing.

In the meantime, here are the offline docs.
