Export RSproxy with Python

Richard-Prism

Hello,
is there any documentation or examples about how to export selected objects as rsproxies?
Specifically I'm looking for the format, which need to be used in the c4d.documents.SaveDocument function.

Thanks

Hey @Richard-Prism ,

You can check the my custom library Renderer.Redshift.Scene on Github here , witch also can visit from General Talk, and modify the codes, or just use this if match what you need.

Nothing special here.

Cheers~

import c4d
from Renderer import Redshift

def main():

    scene_helper = Redshift.Scene(doc)
    scene_helper.auto_proxy(node=op, remove_objects=False)
    
if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

About your First Question

For the example usage of the SaveDocument function you can check one of our examples in the github repo, e.g. Export Alembic example.

Regarding the RS Proxy exporter, it is available only if you have redshift enabled in you cinema 4d. Hence, you won't be able to find its ID in the C4D documentation. However, you can always use Script Log (Extensions -> Script Log) to track down the ID of the RS Proxy exporter.

Then just make an ordinary RS Proxy export and you'll see the ID in the script log:
