Hi all,

I want to generate some polygons with a uv-Tag.
But something is going wrong:-(
The generation of the Polygon ist ok.
But the UV-tag sems to be empty ?!?

I searched in the forum but did not find any other example.

What is my fault?

  
    for i in xrange (0, anz_poly) :   
        width = size_list[i*2]   
        height = size_list[i*2+1]   
        width_halbe = width / 2   
        height_halbe = height / 2   
          
          
        obj = c4d.PolygonObject(4, 1)   
          
        p1 = c4d.Vector(width_halbe,   0, 0)   
        p2 = c4d.Vector(width_halbe, height, 0)   
        p3 = c4d.Vector(-width_halbe, height, 0)   
        p4 = c4d.Vector(-width_halbe, 0,   0)   
          
        obj.SetAllPoints([p1,p2,p3,p4])   
  
  
        obj.SetPolygon(0, c4d.CPolygon(0, 1, 2, 3))   
        doc.InsertObject(obj)   
          
        # Generate UV-Tag   
        obj.MakeTag(c4d.Tuvw)   
        UVWTag = obj.GetTag(c4d.Tuvw)   
        print UVWTag   
        UVWTag.SetSlow(0, p1, p2, p3, p4)

Thanks a lot

Hi Ronny,

you need to set the size of a variable tag, like the uvwtag, if you create it.
Please don´t forget to update your polygonobject if you create a new polygon with MSG_UPDATE.

  
  size_list = [200,300,400,500]  
  
  for i in xrange (1) :  
      width = size_list[i*2]  
      height = size_list[i*2+1]  
      width_halbe = width / 2  
      height_halbe = height / 2  
       
       
      obj = c4d.PolygonObject(4, 1)  
       
      p1 = c4d.Vector(width_halbe,   0, 0)  
      p2 = c4d.Vector(width_halbe, height, 0)  
      p3 = c4d.Vector(-width_halbe, height, 0)  
      p4 = c4d.Vector(-width_halbe, 0,   0)  
       
      obj.SetAllPoints([p1,p2,p3,p4])  
  
  
      obj.SetPolygon(0, c4d.CPolygon(0, 1, 2, 3))  
      obj.Message(c4d.MSG_UPDATE)  
      doc.InsertObject(obj)  
       
      # Generate UV-Tag with data size  
      obj.MakeVariableTag(c4d.Tuvw,2 )  
      c4d.EventAdd()  
      UVWTag = obj.GetTag(c4d.Tuvw)  
  
      print UVWTag  
      print UVWTag.GetDataCount()  
        
      UVWTag.SetSlow(i, p1, p2, p3, p4)  
       
      uvwdict = UVWTag.GetSlow(i)  
      print uvwdict["a"]  
      print uvwdict["b"]  
      print uvwdict["c"]  
      print uvwdict["d"]

Thank to you Martin.
But there is somethin not like i hoped:

First of all , I get the message:
"Es gibt ein Problem mit diesem Projekt: Object "Polygon-Objekt" - Tag 5671 not in sync. Speichern Sie es bitte und kontaktieren Sie unter Angabe Ihrer letzten verwendeten Befehle, Aktionen oder Plug-ins den MAXON-Support."

And this even after I places a "obj.Message(c4d.MSG_UPDATE)" at the end.

When I look to the UV-Mesh (in Bodypain UV Edit) of a plane whitch I convert to a polygon I see a recktangle.
When I look to the UV-Mesh (in Bodypain UV Edit) of the generated polygone, I only see a line in the UV-Mesh Editor.
Do I make a mistake when I whant to create the UV-Tag this way???
Isn' it the same????
I thought I would get now the same rectangle like from a converted Plane-Objekt.

Hi Ronny,

yes, sorry data count was too high, a typo.This should work with no errors.

obj.MakeVariableTag(c4d.Tuvw,1 )

if you want your uvs fit into the canvas they should not have greater values than 1.
In your example you can test something like:

UVWTag.SetSlow(i, p1/1000, p2/1000, p3/1000, p4/1000)

Test it, you´ll see what I mean.

Hope this helps?
Best wishes

@moneytack:

Thanks a lot.
But It is verry interestion in witch order the points have to be used
And another advice:
The x,x,z values in the points shouldn't not be grater than 1 for my usage!

Hi guys,

It looks like the issue has been resolved. I'll tag the topic as solved, but leave it open in case any follow up posts need to be made.
