Is it possible to extract from the Specular Channel on a material:
Falloff. Width, height/width?
Thanks, Eric

Mikael,
thanks for the pointers, but i'm having trouble locating where taht info comes from.. which C4D object? is it a GetData from the channel or material?

  
BaseChannel *baseChannelPtr;  
          baseChannelPtr = inC4DMaterial->GetChannel( theChannelIndex );  
  
if (baseChannelPtr != NULL)       
          {            
               //Get the Color Value       
               Vector     theChannelColor               = baseChannelPtr->GetData().GetVector(BASECHANNEL_COLOR);  
               Real     theBrightnessValue          = baseChannelPtr->GetData().GetReal( BASECHANNEL_BRIGHTNESS );  
               LONG     theInterpolationValue     = baseChannelPtr->GetData().GetLong( BASECHANNEL_INTERPOLATION );  
               LONG     theMixMode                     = baseChannelPtr->GetData().GetLong( BASECHANNEL_MIXMODE );  
               Real     theMixStrength                = baseChannelPtr->GetData().GetReal( BASECHANNEL_MIXSTRENGTH );  
               String     theTexture                     = baseChannelPtr->GetData().GetString( BASECHANNEL_TEXTURE   );  
  
//ya-da, ya-da, ya-da

Those aren't properties of the specific channels but of the actual Material node. So that would be:

    
    
    GeData specCol;  
    inC4DMaterial->GetParameter(DescID(MATERIAL_SPECULAR_COLOR), specCol, NULL);  
    Vector theChannelColor = specCol.GetVector();
