And op.Cache()

where is Cache() located ? i can only find BaseObject.GetCache() and BaseObject.GetDeformCache().
is Cache readonly ?

@Lennart:

c4d.BaseObject.GetCache() does not work while rendering, yet. If you can find a way to get the cache while rendering, I'd really appreciate sharing it.
@t tuuz:

Please use the code formatting options the forum provides.

I assume you'd like to have some correction and tips.

Your coding style is crap, sorry. Proper indentation and margins as well as a strict naming convention makes reading code more easy. The general convention is to use CamelCase on class-names. In Java, the preferred way to name variables and methods is using mixedCase, and in Python underscore_seperated_names.
Starting at Line 244: Calling the object to subscript it is not necessary. Use subscripting directly on the object.
Using ResEdit makes life easier when using dialogs.
You don't have to call c4d.GeDialog.LayoutChanged() at the end of c4d.GeDialog.CreateLayout()
Starting with line 210: You call c4d.EventAdd() multiple times. Don't do that. You won't recognize these changes anyway before the method returned. Only update where necessary, i.e. at the end of the function, and only if things have changed.
Line 193: c4d.BaseDocument.GetObjects() does not return the selected objects.
Line 207: Use constants defined in the c4d module instead of the constants value directly. "Constants" might change from Cinema 4D Release to Release and your way will make your plugin "release-independant". c4d.Onull is the ID corresponding to a Null-Objec, c4d.Ofractal is the type-constant for the landscape primitve, c4d.Oinstance
Line 256: Well, you can use c4d.CallCommand(12236) (note: there are no ids for commands..) and it makes your object editable, but you Landscape variable still refers to the old object. You'd need to get the new object by calling c4d.BaseDocument.GetActiveObject() (after the command, the object that was modified is selected), but that is still very dirty. A better way would be to use c4d.BaseObject.SendModelingCommand() or c4d.GetCache() (as noted above, this method does not work while rendering, but in a script it's fine).
Line 357: os.path.join was made for platform independently concatenating paths. You are using a platform dependend partial path which makes using the function quite senseless. os.path.join(path, "res", icons", "None") is the correct way to use it. (Why would you name a file None?)

The point from the ones that answers your question is #8.

@littledevil:

He means c4d.BaseObject.GetCache()

@ Niklas. GetCache() and GetDeformCache() are read only but works
fine for my renderings (getting info) so I don't know what you mean
that they shouldn't work for rendering?

To actually make a polygon object, using SendModelingCommand()
and insert the first index returned would be my recommendation.

  
    pointobj   = c4d.utils.SendModelingCommand(   
        command = c4d.MCOMMAND_CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT,   
        list    = [op.GetClone()],   
        mode    = c4d.MODELINGCOMMANDMODE_ALL,   
        doc     = doc)   
       
    newobj = pointobj[0]   
    newobj.InsertAfter(op)   
    c4d.EventAdd()

@Lennart:

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. You can't use GetCache() while rendering in the PictureViewer, i.e. using it on a PythonTag or -Generator does not work.

Create a PythonTag on a Cube and insert that code onto it, hit "Render to PictureViewer" and you'll see that the return of GetCache() is None.

def main() :
    og = op.GetOrigin()
    print og, og.GetCache()

It works fine here.
Keep in mind that the PictureViewer scans from
first frame up to the frame to be rendered.
So that's when "None" is returned.

Try to render at first frame or add a "if".

  
import c4d   
  
def main() :   
    obj = op.GetOrigin()   
    cobj = obj.GetCache()   
    if cobj is not None:   
        print obj, cobj

I am confused, once again. It works for me when rendering an animation, but rendering a single frame doesn't.

This is what I get when rendering an animation from Frame 0 to 10, 10 lines, but it should be 11!

Same when I render from frame 0 to 1, I only get one line but it should be two lines (2 frames actually rendered). I don't get a single line when rendering a single frame.

So the cache isn't available at the first frame? That's senseless actually ..

You need to let the Generator build the cache before the expression,
so set the priority of the tag to "Generators".

Thanks, Lennart! I never really "used" priorities in C4D.. And I didn't think of it.

That lets me continue my work on a number of projects! Thanks!
