Yes, GetType is documented. But I hadn't expect it do differ on VideoPost data, too.

I had to print the Video Post type and search it in all the header files.

Maybe you wanna try this one next time.

import c4d  
  
def main() :  
  rdata = doc.GetActiveRenderData()  
  post  = rdata.GetFirstVideoPost()  
  
  t = post.GetType()  
  for k, v in c4d.__dict__.iteritems() :  
      if v == t:  
          print "Maybe you are searching for `" + k + "` ?"  
  
main()

Maybe you are searching for `VPambientocclusion` ?

All these enums should be documented to avoid searching in files.

Welcome to my world.
It's refreshing to hear someone in a moderator role say the same thing.

Hi there,

I also try to disable AO. So I read the topic and messed around for some hours to get it work. but the following script That I copied from this thread is not working under 13.051.
If it is a simple mistake ... sorry for that I am a newbee. But I have no Idea what to do next:(

Thanks, Jops

import c4d

def main() :
    # Get render data
    rdata = doc.GetActiveRenderData()
    if rdata == None: return

    # Get first Video Post effect
    post = rdata.GetFirstVideoPost()
    if post == None: return

    # Loop through Video Post effects
    while post:
        if post.GetType() == c4d.VPambientocclusion:
            print "DETECTED"
            post[c4d.VPAMBIENTOCCLUSION_APPLYTOSCENE] = True
            #post.SetBit(c4d.BIT_ACTIVE)   # also not working
            c4d.EventAdd()
            post = None
        else:
            print "else"
            post = post.GetNext()

    c4d.EventAdd()

if __name__=='__main__':
main()

Hello Jops,

           post[c4d.VPAMBIENTOCCLUSION_APPLYTOSCENE] = True

This line will turn this checkmark on!

If you want to disable it, change the value to False.

           post[c4d.VPAMBIENTOCCLUSION_APPLYTOSCENE] = False

Cheers,
Niklas

Hi Jops,

I digged a bit through the SDK and found out that you can use post.SetBit(c4d.BIT_VPDISABLED) and post.DelBit(c4d.BIT_VPDISABLED) to either disable or enable the video-post. Note that, as the constant is called VP_DISABLED, setting the bit will disable the video-post, deleting the bit will enable it. Confusing, if you ask me

Also note, that your call to c4d.EventAdd() before post = None is redundant, as you call it at the and of main() anyway..

# Disables the Ambient Occlusion Video-post from the Render Manager  
  
import c4d  
  
def main() :  
  rdata = doc.GetActiveRenderData()  
  if not rdata:  
      return  
  
  pdata = rdata.GetFirstVideoPost()  
  if not pdata:  
      return  
  
  while pdata:  
      if pdata.CheckType(c4d.VPambientocclusion) :  
          pdata.DelBit(c4d.BIT_VPDISABLED)  
          pdata = None  
      else:  
          pdata = pdata.GetNext()  
  
  c4d.EventAdd()  
  
main()

Hi Niklas,

Thanks a lot for you great advice. I will imideately test it out.

did you find it in the Python SDK (that would mean that I did not look hard enough :()

Hi Jops,

I knew about the use of BaseList2D.SetBit() and ~.GetBit() before. After searching some minutes they appeared in my mind. Looking at their documentation made me spot the VP_DISABLED constant, and it all made sense.

I think, understanding the documentation and knowing what to search for requires a lot of experience, you don't have to shame.
