Hey there!

Bit stuck on how to execute this in order to bake something with a mograph displacer on it into geometry.

Here's what I've got thus far. It mentions something in the docs about potentially needing to act on a duplicate of the object but then doesn't really elaborate. Any help much appreciated!

Cheers, sCam

Hi, I assume this is a standard script and not part of a Python Generator, correct?
The code you posted works fine. Just insert the returned object in the document and update it:

import c4d
from c4d import gui
from c4d import utils
from c4d import documents
  
def main() :
    document = documents.GetActiveDocument()
    settings = c4d.BaseContainer()
    obj = document.SearchObject("picture source")
    return_value = utils.SendModelingCommand(
         command = c4d.MCOMMAND_CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT,
         list = [obj],
         mode=c4d.MODELINGCOMMANDMODE_ALL,
         bc=settings,
         doc = document)
    
    #NEW----
    if return_value:
        doc.InsertObject(return_value[0]) #return_value is a list in this case
        c4d.EventAdd()
    #NEW----
  
  
if __name__=='__main__':
    main()
