Hi All,

I need to know the points coordinate of an animated deformed object.

I would like to use AnimateObject() to get the previous position of points to compare them with actual geometry.
Seem that with a deformer is not working and work fine with position and rotation.

thanks in advance
Renato T.

That's correct. AnimateObject() doesn't take deformers into account. You can use SendModelingCommand() with MCOMMAND_CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT instead.

Hello Mikael,

so i need to send modelling command after AnimateObject()?

thanks

Yeah, AnimateObject() for the timeline tracks and SendModelingCommand() for the rest. (I don't know how it will work with time based deformers though.)

Hello Mikael,

Do you not get any deformation at all or not just the deformations at the specified time?

I still have this problem now.. can someone tell me why i can't get deformed geometry with animateobject and current state to objects?

thanks

I've only had success with AnimateDocument() (now ExecutePasses() in R11.5) but it does work. This is how IPP figures are baked into static or PLA geometry in interPoser Pro.

Make sure to set the document time, call AnimateDocument(), and, yes, EventAdd() is a good idea.

doc->SetTime(stime);
#ifdef C4D_R115
doc->ExecutePasses(NULL, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE);
#else
doc->AnimateDocument(NULL, TRUE, TRUE);
#endif
EventAdd();

where 'stime' is the BaseTime representing the frame.

Howdy,

Is the deformer a child of the mesh, or is the mesh part of a hierarchy that is being deformed? I've noticed that CSTO only works properly when the deformer is a child of the mesh you need. If the mesh is in a deformed hierarchy, then CSTO needs to be invoked on the parent object to get the deformed mesh object. :o(

Adios,
