Thanks for the response. Modifying the environment varialbles works for my use case.
Closing the thread now.

@m_adam

Thanks for the confirmation. Will close the thread for now.

@ferdinand

Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification and the sample code. Should have probably went for the matrix transforms to begin with. I was hoping I can get away with those euler angles lol.

Closing the thread now.

Thx for updating.. 2023.1 seems to be working well again

@ferdinand

Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification.
Will close this thread now.

@ferdinand

Uhm. It's not as complicated as that.
I mean it is complicated per se but there are already existing solutions.
Check "Sphinx Search Extension". There are several.
Pip install it and just insert it into the conf.py file.

Also, it's not really as spicing it up per se.
I mean it is but not really.

It's just adding a sub paragraph section.
The maxon redshift documentation is already doing it.
And even if you are using sphinx implementation, it's also existing.
Blender documentation is built using sphinx.

Got it. Thank you.

@m_adam

Ah gotcha. I can only access perpetual versions. C4D 2023 was not made available for perpetual.

Anyhow, thanks for the confirmation. Will close the thread.

I find a way to read aovs and render container , if I had some times I will post a create 😊

Read Octane Post

Hi,
Thank you for your answer.
Unfortunate it seems like this isn`t as easy as we hoped for, but we just have to see if we can find another way around our problem.

Cheers,
Ola

Hi Maxime,
Thank for your answer !

However, as you say, TR Notifier isn't a priory but it's too bad because I think it's so useful for a lot of people ... No solution exist, at this time to get a an alert when render is finish ... Maybe it will interest community having this feature .....

Cheer,

Hi Manuel,
Thank you for your help.

Hi @sortsovs once you have the node, you need to retrieve the appropriate port. Be careful as some port can be nested.
Then once you have the correct port, you need to call GraphNode.SetDefaultValue.
When calling SetDefaultValue it is important to pass a maxon data as the current Python system is not able to automatically guess the expected result.

Find bellow an example to create a Redshift Material with a Texture Node with a custom path and name.

import c4d import maxon REDSHIFT_NODESPACE_ID = maxon.Id("com.redshift3d.redshift4c4d.class.nodespace") def CreateTextureNode(gr: maxon.GraphModelRef, nodeName: str, texturePath: str, isLinear:bool=False) -> maxon.GraphNode: # Start a transaction to inform the graph that a modification is going to happen with gr.BeginTransaction() as transaction: # Create a Redshift Texture Node and rename it textureNodeId = maxon.Id("com.redshift3d.redshift4c4d.nodes.core.texturesampler") texNode = gr.AddChild("", textureNodeId, maxon.DataDictionary()) texNode.SetValue("net.maxon.node.base.name", maxon.String(nodeName)) # Retrieve path and gammage override port path = texNode.GetInputs().FindChild("com.redshift3d.redshift4c4d.nodes.core.texturesampler.tex0").FindChild("path") gammaOverride = texNode.GetInputs().FindChild("com.redshift3d.redshift4c4d.nodes.core.texturesampler.tex0_gammaoverride") # Define the value stored by the node for these port when no connection exist gammaOverride.SetDefaultValue(maxon.Bool(isLinear)) path.SetDefaultValue(maxon.Url(texturePath)) # Push the change to the graph transaction.Commit() return texNode def main() -> None: # Create a BaseMaterial in the active document rsMat = c4d.BaseMaterial(c4d.Mmaterial) doc.InsertMaterial(rsMat) # Retrieve it node material part and create a Redshift Graph nMat = rsMat.GetNodeMaterialReference() nMat.AddGraph(REDSHIFT_NODESPACE_ID) gr = nMat.GetGraph(REDSHIFT_NODESPACE_ID) # Create a texture node albedoTexNode = CreateTextureNode(gr, "Albedo", r"C:/PathToATexture.jpg") c4d.EventAdd() if __name__ == '__main__': main()

Cheers,
Maxime.

Thank you for the reply. Good information.

Hello @x_nerve,

thank you for reaching out to us and bringing this up.

the forum cannot be searched without registration.

We had a quick internal discussion, and we agree, guests should be able to search the content of the forum. I have changed the settings; you can now also search as a guest for topics. Searching for users and creating topics intentionally remains disabled for guests.

"Maxon One" has fully promoted the subscription system, but Plugin Cafe forum and Redshift forum accounts cannot log in to each other.

I am not sure if I do understand what you mean with 'log into each other', but I assume you are talking about having automatically provided user accounts via your id.maxon.net account with which you also identify with the Maxon products you have licensed.

This is first of all technically not trivial, but it would also lock out anyone who does not have a Maxon ID account. To be able to search over all forums, the forums would have to be integrated into one database or we would have to substantially modify the frontend (NodeBB in case of Plugin Café). In the close future there are no plans to do this. In the long term Maxon has some community management plans which might address the integration of multiple forums, but I can give neither a guarantee that this will happen nor an ETA. If such a system will be built, we will likely also use Maxon ID for authentication there.

Cheers,
Ferdinand

Hello @fss,

Thank you for reaching out to us. We unfortunately cannot help you with this question here in the SDK Team as you are asking effectively for a feature in the Maxon App. While the C++ SDK has some licensing features, they are restricted to reading data, so you cannot just call an API to release the licenses yourself.

You should ask your question to user support, because they are the right place for things concerning the Maxon App. What you might want to clarify there is what you mean by "defunct instances" and which app you are using. I assume from the context that you are using c4dpy with some Python scripts which sometimes crash c4dpy and then the license is not being released correctly. Which sounds like a bug which you then should report to user support.

Cheers,
Ferdinand

Works like a charm, thank you!

Hello @indexofrefraction,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

FYI, developers.maxon.net is down since about 24 hours....

We were aware and were working on it, the site should now be accessible again. Please excuse the inconvenience.

Cheers,
the SDK Team

Hi All,

Thank you so much for your interest and taking the time to apply. We ended up with more applicants than could fit in one workshop. If you received an email from me (Maybe in your spam folder? look for d_keith ) you've likely been accepted. If not, I do intend to host similar workshops in the future. Candidates were given priority based on:

Prior programming expertise in C/C++/Python or similar languages. Interest and ability to actively participate in the lectures/homework projects. Availability to potentially create capsules for the Maxon Capsules Library in the future on a freelance basis. And for auditors, special preference was given to MAXON employees who will be documenting/developing/training Scene Nodes workflows.

I hope to host similar workshops in the future and will prioritize previous applicants at that time.
Sincerely,

Donovan Keith

Sorry for the late reply, my issue went away after reinstalling C4D so I forgot about it

Thank you for your feedback
