Hello,A newbie question here: I'm developing a plugin to connect Cinema4D with a external renderer, which works as a standalone application, so you just have to export the C4D scene to the external app file format and invoke it.
My question is:
Is it possible to treat the plugin as a "renderer" so the scene flushing and the external app invocation is done when you hit 'render' from cinema?Or the only way to do this is creating an exporter and calling the rendering application manually?
I hope anybody can give me a clue, thanks!

Then use the volumedata and render instance for "your" renderer.

Thanks, this is a starting point!
So according to that I should write a plugin which skips the render process with that function call but, in that case, where can I obtain the "render" instance from? a VideoPost plugin?
regards

Yes, I´d say a Videopost plugin is the best bet. Simply call the SkipRenderProcess before rendering starts and use the VolumeData GetRenderInstance() function to retrive...the render instance.
But that´s only a guess. I haven´t tried it myself.

Just writting a couple of lines to confirm you the VP method works
just have to implement the VideoPostData::Execute method. Furthermore, with the volume data instance i got direct access to the scene data and some additional information (like the smoothed normals)!thanks!
