Apply Substance Preset with no User Input.
-
I would like to apply a substance preset (.sbsprs) using the python API. I can use c4d.CallCommand(1038417) to open the Substance asset manager but it just opens up file explorer to allow me to select and apply a .sbsprs file. I want to be able to run my script with no user input (just a hardcoded filepath to the substance preset file). Is it possible to apply the substance preset using just python?
I am using Cinema 4D R23.110 and Redshift. Thanks!

Sorry forgot to say I'm using the Script Manager and Windows 10 Pro 2004.

Hi,
Please use our guidelines and use the forum functionalities to mark your thread as a question. Thanks for tagging your post
while we have a module for substance available in python it is not possible to apply presets with it (without dialog). Even with C++ it's not possible
But Substance asset are BaseList2D so you can change the parameters:
substance = c4d.modules.substance.GetFirstSubstance(doc) if substance is None: raise RuntimeError("Failed to retrieve the first substance (most likely there is no substance).") #change the resolution to 16x16 substance[10000] = 4 substance[10001] = 4 c4d.EventAdd()
