Keyframe Selection Code from Cineversity

bentraje

Hi,

I'm trying to use this keyframe selection code from Cineversity..

I select an object but it prints nothing in the console. It also does not error out. You can see an illustration of the problem here:

Should I change something in the code to accommodate possible changes in the Python API?

Hi,

works fine for me. But the code is missing import statements and a call to main(). Also the indentation is all messed up when you copy the code from their homepage. I just mangled the code through an autopeper, added import and invoked main().

On a side note: I am not sure if this is code you should learn from. This fine if you just want to get something done. For a learning site I find this unsuitable, but maybe I am to picky.

import c4d

def GetKeyframeSelection(op):
    """
    """
    if not op or not op.KeyframeSelectionContent():
        return None

    keySelection = []
    desc = op.GetDescription(c4d.DESCFLAGS_DESC_0)

    for bc, paramid, groupid in desc:
        # print paramid
        # Handle Vectors - seems desc iterator only does top level
        if paramid[0].dtype == c4d.DTYPE_VECTOR:
            for i in xrange(c4d.VECTOR_X, c4d.VECTOR_Z+1):
                did = c4d.DescID(
                    paramid[0], c4d.DescLevel(i, c4d.DTYPE_REAL, 0))
                if op.FindKeyframeSelection(did):
                    keySelection.append(did)
        # Handle top level DescIDs
        elif op.FindKeyframeSelection(paramid):
            keySelection.append(paramid)
    return keySelection


def main():
    """
    """
    keySelection = GetKeyframeSelection(op)
    if keySelection:
        print "*"*4, "Keyframe Select IDs", "*"*4
        print keySelection


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Thanks for the clarification.
Yea, I guess so but just learning as much as I can.

Thanks again!
