I think there is a big performance issue in the for statement. i want to transfer the color of a noise texture on my clones. this works fine but incredible slow. also if i drag something in the viewport it callculate all the samples again. any suggestions to awoid that? i also has to add a black color vector before the render statment to stop a variable issue with shader_lum

import c4d
from c4d.modules import mograph as mo
from c4d.modules import render as render
from c4d import Vector 
from c4d.modules.render import ChannelData, InitRenderStruct
import random
  
def main() :
    
    shader = op[c4d.ID_USERDATA,1]
       
    cd = ChannelData()
  
    md = mo.GeGetMoData(op)
    
    cnt = md.GetCount()
    
    tresh = 0.5
    
    coll = md.GetArray(c4d.MODATA_COLOR)
    
    uvm = md.GetArray(c4d.MODATA_UVW)
    
    visible = md.GetArray(c4d.MODATA_FLAGS)
  
    random.seed(666)
        
    if md==None:  return False  
    
    #if shader ==None: return False
    
    
    for i in reversed(xrange(0, cnt)) :
        cd.p = uvm[i]
        irs = render.InitRenderStruct()
        shader_lum = Vector(0,0,0)
        if shader.InitRender(irs) :
            shader_lum = shader.Sample(cd)
            shader.FreeRender()
        
        coll[i] = shader_lum
  
    
    md.SetArray(c4d.MODATA_FLAGS, visible, True)
    md.SetArray(c4d.MODATA_COLOR, coll, True)

Hello,

for every clone you initialize the renderstruct, which is very cost intensive.
You can simply initialize and free the renderstruct ouside the for loop, like:

  
  shader.InitRender(render.InitRenderStruct())  
    
  for i in reversed(xrange(0, cnt)) :  
      cd.p = uvm[i]  
      shader_lum = Vector(0,0,0)  
      shader_lum = shader.Sample(cd)  
      coll[i] = shader_lum  
  
  shader.FreeRender()

Best wishes

works fine but is there a way to stop the calculation of an effector ?

if any condition is True, return before calculation....

  
def main() :  
    
  if op[c4d.ID_USERDATA,2] == True:return

Hello,

when you move something in the scene or move the camera the effector has to do his calculations because the result may depend on the position of the object or the camera (as with the "Target" effector). So if you want to disable that, you could just turn the effector off.

Best wishes,
