Thank you very much! The second way works great. I didnt get the first approach to work, but the second does well
Here is the script if someone needs it. It is probably messy I am not a programmer, but it does write the names of the selected materials into the texturname
import c4d
from c4d import gui
from c4d import storage
import os
#Welcome to the world of Python
def changeTexture(shader):
# shader ID
texturePath = shader[c4d.BITMAPSHADER_FILENAME]
# split aboslute path
oldTexturename = os.path.split(texturePath)
fileExtension = os.path.splitext(texturePath)
# add prefix to
newTexturename = matName + fileExtension[1]
print (newTexturename)
newTexturePath = os.path.join(oldTexturename[0], newTexturename)
print (newTexturePath)
# rename texture
try :
os.rename(texturePath, newTexturePath)
print("Source path renamed to destination path successfully.")
except OSError as error:
print(error)
# Assign the new value
shader[c4d.BITMAPSHADER_FILENAME] = newTexturePath
shader.Message(c4d.MSG_UPDATE)
# Main function
def main() :
c4d.CallCommand(1029486) # Project Asset Inspector...
c4d.CallCommand(1029816) # Select Assets of Active Elements
c4d.CallCommand(1029820) # Globalize Filenames
# Iterate over selected material
material = doc.GetFirstMaterial()
if not material:
return
while material:
if material.GetBit(c4d.BIT_ACTIVE):
shader = material.GetFirstShader()
global matName
matName = material.GetName()
while shader:
# Test if the current node is a bitmap shader.
if shader.CheckType(c4d.Xbitmap) :
changeTexture(shader)
shader (shader.GetDown())
shader = shader.GetNext()
material = material.GetNext()
c4d.CallCommand(200000273) # Reload All Textures
# Execute main()
if __name__=='__main__':
main()
