Hi,

I want to modify a generator object, a cube for instance.
I can modify It's cache, this will work in the editor, but not in in the renderer.
Also, using a cube and modifieng the cube's points, it seem's like the cubes cache isn't rebuilt before I modify it, so I modify the cubes already modifed points.

This is the code i was giving a try on a Python generator:

import      c4d  
from        random      import random  
  
  
def main() :  
  dwn     = op.GetDown()  
  if not dwn:  
      return  
  
  dwn     = dwn.GetCache()  
  if not dwn:  
      return  
  
  for i in xrange(dwn.GetPointCount()) :  
      dwn.SetPoint(i, dwn.GetPoint(i) * 2)  
  
  dwn.Message(c4d.MSG_UPDATE)  
  dwn.Touch()

*squint to Sebastion * ..
Can anyone tell me how to do what I'm trying to achive ?

Thanks very much !
Niklas

hey nux, your script seems to work every time i click "force update" button within the c4d python gen. which is wierd because it seems like you have update commands in there. weird.

Hm, what's weird ?
It's weird that it grows every time ! And that it does not take effect when rendering.

maybe try to base your script on the frame number so it updates during rendering as well.

that is not the problem.
I want to know how to modify the cache while rendering.

oh, i thought your problem was that you couldnt acess the cache while rendering because it was not updating. I was saying try to base your script so that it utilizes the frame number in some way, so that way it has to update every time there is a frame change. maybe this will not help you though.

Thanks anyway
Yes, it is updating, but I can't access the Cache.
(if it wasn't updating, wouldn't it be completely useless ?)

Thanks,
