Hello,

Terra4D is an open source plugin to combine Terragen with Cinema4D. Unfortunately it's impossible to import terrains from Terragen which are larger than 1024. It seems that there isn't enough memory to create such a big polygonobject.

  
// procedures  
///////////////////////////  
  
CreatePolygonObject(pointcount, polygoncount)  
{  
     if (pointcount <= 0 || polygoncount <= 0) return FALSE;  
  
     var obj = new(PolygonObject);  
     var points = new(array, pointcount);  
     var polygons = new(array, polygoncount*4);  
  
     obj->SetPoints(points);  
     obj->SetPolygons(polygons);  
  
     var vc = new(VariableChanged);  
     var bt = new(BackupTags);  
  
     bt->Init(obj);  
     vc->Init(0, pointcount);  
     if (!obj->Message(MSG_POINTS_CHANGED, vc))  
     {  
          bt->Restore();  
          return FALSE;  
     }  
  
     bt->Init(obj);  
     vc->Init(0, polygoncount);  
     if (!obj->Message(MSG_POLYGONS_CHANGED, vc))  
     {  
          bt->Restore();  
          return FALSE;  
     }  
       
     obj->Message(MSG_UPDATE);  
     return obj;  
}  
  
  
  
  
  
// main  
///////////////////////////  
  
main(doc,op)  
{  
     var obj = CreatePolygonObject(1, 2049*2049);  
     obj->SetName("Test");  
     doc->InsertObject(obj, NULL, NULL);  
}

The problem is the following command:
var polygons = new(array, 2048*2048*4);

I think COFFEE can't handle such big objects. But is there a workaround or something like that?

Thank you very much,
Janos Menberg

I don't think you need to set the polygon and point arrays in the function. The VariableChanged step should be enough; C4D will initialize the point and polygon arrays itself.
