Tried to send the crash report on 6/6/25 at 22:08 but I got a message saying there was a problem sending it. The message also says to send it by email so I've sent it to sdk_support(at)maxon(dot)net.

@ferdinand Got it, thanks for the heads-up!

@ferdinand Thansk!

Good to hear!

About your First Question

I'm sorry for the delayed answer.

Unfortunately there's no existing public API that would allow you to do that.

Cheers,

Thansk so much for the video, that was a deep dive! For my issue, I resolved it like this:

def message(id, data): if(id==c4d.MSG_DESCRIPTION_POSTSETPARAMETER): userDataID = eval(str(data['descid']))[1][0] if userDataID in [2, 4, 5]: c4d.CallButton(op, c4d.OPYTHON_MAKEDIRTY)

so, if any user data touched (including fieldlist), the generator updates itself.

Hi @ferdinand,

Sorry about missing that post. This exactly solved my problem, thanks.

@i_mazlov Thanks,it works!

@i_mazlov Thanks for your help, it works well.

@ferdinand Your response was helpful. Thank you:)

Hey,

Yes, parallel/orthographic projection is effectively just the dot product. The modelling examples cover point plane projections with a function very similar to yours. There is also c4d.utils.PointLineSegmentDistance but I never use it, as it strikes me as more cumbersome to use than just doing the math yourself.

Sorry, I am rotating on the spot right now, did not yet get to answering here. @gheyret is right, there is still a bug, will give @m_adam a note on Monday.

Hey @qq475519905,

sorry for the delay. As I said in the beginning, you can implement your own serializer using GoZ. But there is no dedicated exporter API in ZScript. I assume you are using some RoutineCall to achieve what you are doing. You cannot escape any GUI associated with such call.

Cheers,
Ferdinand

Oh, you've edited your previous message! Thanks! I will try it.

Hi @m_adam ,

Thank you so much! That was exactly what I needed.

Dan

@ferdinand Thanks for your help!👍

@m_adam thanks for your prompt response. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Hey @kbar,

Thank you for reaching out to us and the heads up, much appreciated. Looks like we forgot to update the function documentation, because the change is in the change notes. I updated the docs for the upcoming release.

Cheers,
Ferdinand

@i_mazlov Thanks for the reply. I may have described it wrong. I am talking about the image viewer. It seems that there is currently no API interface to get the number of frames rendered, nor can I get the total number of frames in the rendering settings.
