Simulating a Scrub in the Timeline?

bentraje

Hi,

I made a rig, and for some reason, it does not work well unless I scrub the timeline. It's as if the timeline gives an update to the scene. You can see an illustration of the problem here:

I'm not sure about this but I guess the term to do this redraw, correct me if I'm wrong.
I checked the documentation but the redraw() method is only available under c4d.gui module.

Is there a way to simulate a scrub in the timeline or redraw on a document/scene level?

Thank you for looking at my problem.

You may want to try ExecutePasses() - that command will animate the current frame of the document and therefore works like scrubbing the timeline.

@mp5gosu
Not sure about the whole mechanics of the command but it works.
Here is the code I used:
doc.ExecutePasses(None, True, True,True,c4d.BUILDFLAGS_0)

hi @bentraje ,

Just to confirm @mp5gosu answer.

We can also point you to BaseDocument manual where you have some information about ExecutePasses

Cheers
