thanks a lot! for others and myself here a reference to the python SDK https://developers.maxon.net/docs/py/2023_2/modules/c4d/C4DAtom/GeListNode/BaseList2D/index.html#BaseList2D.GetInfo

Great, I will do that.

Hi @turrican welcome in the plugincafe community. I moved your topic in the correct category and assigned tags, see (How to Post Questions) Please do it for your next topics. Regarding your question, yes it's possible to do it in python. however, I suggest you contact maxon support to report the initial bug regarding the FBX importer. Now you have to keep in mind here we don't code for you but help you to achieve what you want. So the steps in python for doing it are: Loops over each material. Retrieves their name. Create a Bitmap Shader and assign it to the correct channel of the material (normal). To loop over each material, keep in mind that material in Cinema 4D is BaseMaterial which is a child class of GeListNode so to loop over all material use # Retrieve the first material of the current document mat = c4d.documents.GetActiveDocument().GetFirstMaterial() # loop over each material while mat is not None: # Do the things for each mat mat = mat.GetNext() To create a bitmap shader (c4d.Xbitmap) and assign a texture to it find an example in shader_create_bitmap_r13.py. To know the ID of the normal channel, just drop and drop it into the console, see Python Console - Drag and Drop. Cheers, Maxime.

@m_magalhaes I'll write it in your way Thank you very much. Cheers!

@s_bach Thanks, I ignored the parameter check and it works now！

Hi Rui, thanks for reaching out us. With regard to your issue, I confirm that whilst VS is more "tolerant" with regard to code-style check, Xcode is less. The code style check, which is embedded in our source processor, expects tabs rather than spaces for code indentation and it could happen that either Tabs has not be set in Xcode preferences, as preferred indentation method, or that you've copied and pasted some portion of code that was indented with spaces. Please check your indentations for using tabs rather than switching off completely the style check. Best, R

Thank you Manuel, that works perfectly. I can use CallCommand() but I don't want to as it will always call c4d.EventAdd() and as I can't specify which bd to set as the renderview. I tend to not use CallCommand() in a plugin as it is only be able to be called in the main thread (which would be fine in this case) and as it seems to 'simulate' user interaction.

Hello, just FYI: you find information on how to access individual characters from a string in the manual: String Manual Also, one of our examples includes checking the ASCII value of a given character: streamconversion_impl.cpp If your question has been answered, please mark your thread as a question and set it to "solved". best wishes, Sebastian

Thank you, @s_bach I have enough here to figure out what I need to do. Cheers!

Thank you very much, RIccardo. I will look into it tonight when I get home.

Hello Sebastian, I now understand what the difference is, thank you very much! With the customdata_customgui example file I actually made both a GUI and a custom DataType. So I only needed to change my resource file and modifiy my data code a bit! Best Regards, Florian

@m_magalhaes Hello, thank you very much for your inspiration. You've been very helpful. There is no need to overwrite TranslateDescID(), only two macros HandleDescGetVector and HandleDescSetVector can realize my idea. Thanks again! Cheers, Sean

Thanks for the update Frank. Looking at your "resolutions" I think that the actions you took were responsible, in the first case, to clean the existing derived data for the R20 project, whilst in the second, to refresh the DerivedData subfolder where the newly re-created R21 project was supposed to store intermediate files. Please keep us updated and for the mean time I'm going to set this thread as solved. Cheers

Hi Rui, thanks for reaching out us. With regard to your question there are a few things to note: /Applications is a folder which requires elevated permission to write in: I recommend to move the SDK in a different location where standard user permission are required; with R21, whether you're using Xcode 10.1 or further revision, it's supposed that you enable the Legacy Build System in the Project Settings: be sure to set it via File -> Project Settings in Xcode. Finally it's recommended, when such building issues are faced, to provide a description of your development environment. Cheers, R

Ok, made it work now. Thank you so much.

Hi, issue about hashing byteseq is fixed in R21.1 SP1. Cheers, Maxime.

Hi, this is fixed in R21.1 SP1. Cheers, Maxime.

@m_magalhaes said in Error after hitting Undo.: i just scratch a bit your code, but i've discovered that with the R21, MCOMMAND_SPLIT only return true. I've opened a bug entry for that. this is fixed in R21.1
