Cool! Thanks for your community work, Kent!

Hello @m_magalhaes , Thanks a lot for the tip, works perfectly as you said [image: 1652754301818-cinema_4d_f7fynzcvz4.gif]

Since this question is tagged as C++, I'll add the docs link to the dedicated functions that return and set this attribute: BaseObject::GetDeformMode() and BaseObject::SetDeformMode()

@m_adam said in macOS Monterey - Can't run source processor anymore?: So you have to link for example from /usr/local/bin to a python installation, I personally have Python 3.8.9. Xcode itself ships with a python version you could link to (its in Contents/Developer/usr/bin of the application package). So with that path you can call call sudo ln -s PATH_TO_PYTHON /usr/local/bin/python in terminal. Hi Adam! That is in deed what I tried, creating a symlink that points to Python 3. I didn't use the paths, though, but just linked the word "python" to "python3". I guess that was my mistake. Wouldn't it be easier for Maxon and everybody else, if you just changed the preprocessor call in the projects' PreBuild events to "python3", instead of having to go the symlink way and change things on users' computers (which, I guess, will have side effects when users later decide to install Python 2.7 for some reason)? Cheers, Frank

@cairyn It Works. Thank You. Very Much.

hi, you already opened this thread, asking for the question, I've answer there. Please, stop asking the same question on different threads and continu on the linked one. Cheers, Manuel

@cairyn Thank you!

Hey @kbar, thank you for reaching out to us. How to add asset databases and others things are all explained in the Asset API Handbook. Your specific case is dealt with in the example Add User Databases. You can technically also take a route via the Asset Browser preferences in the Cinema 4D Preferences dialog and the GUI gadget showing these database entries, completely ignoring the Asset API, but I would not recommend doing this. Cheers, Ferdinand

@m_magalhaes Thanks for the response. Might be able to use your idea as potential solution. John Terenece

@rownn said in Priority: PriorityData and PriorityList: Hi m_adam, thank you very much for the enlightenment on priorities, it helps alot, and sorry for my late reply. Greetings and thx again rownn PS: I´ll keep the pointed way of posting in mind. Hello @rownn This is another question. I am writing here because there is no way to contact you. You are the developer of "Rounded Corner (c4dnetwork)". Would you make it run on R25?

@m_magalhaes Thank you very much for your reply. Target was to let user run my plugin in pyton script without open its gui, but set options by some command. Meanwhile I came to solution by implementing ExecuteOptionID method. In this way user first sets options in gui and after can CallCommand anywhere he wants in scripts. Again thank you for your time.

Thank you for the swift reply though

hi, i confirm this is the right way of doing it. Be aware that the legacy mode has been removed now from the UI but is still accessible from python. If you define the legacy mode, the user will not be able to get back to normal mode. Cheers, Manuel

@m_adam Thanks for help!

Aaaand of course I forgot a crucial point: After modifying the clone positions in marr, you need to write them back to the MoData, but the last parameter apply_strength must be False: moData.SetArray(c4d.MODATA_MATRIX, marr, False) This is at first glance unintuitive since we want the strength to be present but when looking closely, you can fathom that the function will internally multiply with the falloff strength that it calculated itself, and that probably comes from GetFalloffs() again, so it's 0 and nothing is won. We do not want SetArray to do that at all, because we have already applied the falloffs that we calculated ourselves, and SetArray should keep its buggy hands off it!

I would recommend against changing anything in the scene from within GetVirtualObjects(). Rather do it in Execute(). Cheers, Frank

Kindly ignore. Adrian from Redshift forum answered it. You can look into the rslight.h from Plugins\C4D\R26\Redshift\res\description, all the parms are there

HI - Thanks for the response! I'm going to go with the sendModelingCommand method. I never would have thought to put the CallCommand value in there. This is really going to help me finish this script. I appreciate your help. thank you, .del

@a_block said in ShowInFinder function in Cinema 4D S26: I tend to use GeExecuteFile() to open directories in Explorer/Finder. This seems to work for me regardless of OS. Are there any advantages of using ShowInFinder() instead? Or any disadvantages of using GeExecuteFile(). Absolutely None, except that the name of the function makes more sense if you just want to show the directory. Thanks for pointing that out, i overlooked that line. Bool ShowInFinder(const Filename& path, Bool open) { if (open) return GeExecuteFile(path); Cheers, Manuel

It works like a charm! Thanks a lot!
