Hello mates.

I am woundering how i can get the texture path(s) & filename(s) from the selected material.
im trying to return a list containing the path+filename foreach channel in the material.
Anyone got an idea how i can do this ?

filename = texture[c4d.MATERIAL_COLOR_SHADER][c4d.BITMAPSHADER_FILENAME]

will only reurn the filename, but i need full path + filename
i tried my luck on c4dcafe, but no one seems to know this.

Thanks

You will have to get the document path and add it to your filename. This should do what you want.

filename = texture[c4d.MATERIAL_COLOR_SHADER][c4d.BITMAPSHADER_FILENAME]
dPath = doc.GetDocumentPath()
  
print (dPath+"	ex"+filename)

      print "MyPlugin started"   

EDIT:
i got it to work. i had to include this.

  
doc = c4d.documents.GetActiveDocument()  
dPath = doc.GetDocumentPath()  

Altho i dont like this method since one have to know the name of the texture dir.
Making the plugin useless on projects where textures are not saved in a common dir, Ie: tex

but anyway. thanks for your help
