Deleting animation tracks for Shader Effector

I am trying to delete all animation tracks in the document.

The following code successfully removes all tracks except those under "Shader Properties" in the shader effector objects—for instance, the gradient property. Do I need to access these particular tracks through some other means? Are these tracks somehow different from the others?

Thanks.

import c4d
from c4d import documents

def GetNextObject(obj) :
if obj==None:
      return None

if obj.GetDown() :
      return obj.GetDown()

while not obj.GetNext() and obj.GetUp() :
      obj = obj.GetUp()

#print (obj)

return obj.GetNext()

def RemoveTracks(obj) :

for track in obj.GetCTracks() :
      #if (track.GetCurve().GetKeyCount() > 0) :
      track.Remove()

def main() :
obj = doc.GetFirstObject()
if obj==None: return

while obj:
      RemoveTracks(obj)
      obj = GetNextObject(obj)

c4d.EventAdd()

if __name__=='__main__':
main()

I am not sure how this is meant. You are stepping though all BaseObjects in the document
and remove all CTracks containing at least one Ckey. A BaseShader is obviously not a BaseObject
and therefore it will not get covered.

Thank you. That was very helpful.

Here is the updated code for anyone else who might have this issue.

import c4d
from c4d import documents

def GetNextObject(obj) :
if obj==None:
      return None

if obj.GetDown() :
      return obj.GetDown()

while not obj.GetNext() and obj.GetUp() :
      obj = obj.GetUp()


return obj.GetNext()

def RemoveTracks(obj) :

for track in obj.GetCTracks() :
      #if (track.GetCurve().GetKeyCount() > 0) :
      track.Remove()

shader = obj.GetFirstShader()
shadertree(shader)

def shadertree(shader) :

while(shader) :

      shaderTracks = shader.GetCTracks()
      for shaderTrack in shaderTracks:
          shaderTrack.Remove()

      # Check for child shaders
      if shader.GetDown() : shadertree(shader.GetDown())
      # Get the next shader
      shader = shader.GetNext()

def main() :
obj = doc.GetFirstObject()
if obj==None: return

while obj:
      RemoveTracks(obj)
      obj = GetNextObject(obj)


c4d.EventAdd()

if __name__=='__main__':
main()
