Appreciate a nudge (first steps with python)

I can create and set a materials colour and check to see if a duplicate exists
   mat_op = c4d.BaseMaterial(c4d.Mmaterial) #create a standard material
   mat_op[c4d.ID_BASELIST_NAME] = "mynewmatname"
   doc.InsertMaterial(mat_op,pred=None,checknames=True)
  mat_op[c4d.MATERIAL_COLOR_COLOR] = c4d.Vector(.4,.3,.8)

and texture from a bitmap using a file path

but cant see how to insert a procedural shader
p = C4DNoise(1234)
p.InitFbm(21, 2.1, 0.5)
mat_op[c4d.MATERIAL_COLOR_SHADER] = p

or change the mixing method - multiply, add, subtract etc

any help appreciated

Hi C4DNoise cannot be combined with materials. It's used internally in a noise shader but also part of the API so you can determine a noise value manually. Below is a small code snippet how to add a noise shader to the first material in the current active document.

Unfortunately the noise types are currently not part of the c4d module so you need to define them manually. Just copy them from the following code snippet.

Cheers, Sebastian

Many, many thanks Sebastian.

These first steps are always tough even though the fog is gradually clearing.

Much appreciate the help.

last one for now

I can set the material channels on and off using (bump example)
mat_op[c4d.MATERIAL_USE_BUMP]=True

but can't figure how to get or set using GetChannelState() SetChannelState()
I appreciate I'm addressing this wrongly - help pls

print mat_op.GetChannelState(CHANNEL_BUMP)
error c4d.BaseMaterial object has no attribute ' GetChannelState'

I see this a c4d.material rather than c4d.Basematerial, but stuck as how to address this function.

Again I'm only getting my head around the coding, objects etc
The correct syntax would be very helpful in making the leap in understanding how these objects fit together.

GetChannelState/SetChannelState is obsolete for Python. To get the information if a channel is enabled, just call:

print mat[c4d.MATERIAL_USE_BUMP] #Is '1' if enabled, otherwise 0 for disabled

I was looking to enable a channel after setting a shader
hence used SetChannelState (I guess this should be marked obsolete in the SDK)
mat[c4d.MATERIAL_USE_BUMP]=True
does the job - cheers

Is there a way to create an instance of a shader
or is it a case of feeding one source value to all the intended targets and refreshing when necessary?

Here you already create a new instance of the noise shader.
