@ Niklas. GetCache() and GetDeformCache() are read only but works
fine for my renderings (getting info) so I don't know what you mean
that they shouldn't work for rendering?

To actually make a polygon object, using SendModelingCommand()
and insert the first index returned would be my recommendation.

  
    pointobj   = c4d.utils.SendModelingCommand(   
        command = c4d.MCOMMAND_CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT,   
        list    = [op.GetClone()],   
        mode    = c4d.MODELINGCOMMANDMODE_ALL,   
        doc     = doc)   
       
    newobj = pointobj[0]   
    newobj.InsertAfter(op)   
    c4d.EventAdd()

@Lennart:

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. You can't use GetCache() while rendering in the PictureViewer, i.e. using it on a PythonTag or -Generator does not work.

Create a PythonTag on a Cube and insert that code onto it, hit "Render to PictureViewer" and you'll see that the return of GetCache() is None.

def main() :
    og = op.GetOrigin()
    print og, og.GetCache()

Cheers, Niklas

It works fine here.
Keep in mind that the PictureViewer scans from
first frame up to the frame to be rendered.
So that's when "None" is returned.

Try to render at first frame or add a "if".

  
import c4d   
  
def main() :   
    obj = op.GetOrigin()   
    cobj = obj.GetCache()   
    if cobj is not None:   
        print obj, cobj

I am confused, once again. It works for me when rendering an animation, but rendering a single frame doesn't.

This is what I get when rendering an animation from Frame 0 to 10, 10 lines, but it should be 11!

Same when I render from frame 0 to 1, I only get one line but it should be two lines (2 frames actually rendered). I don't get a single line when rendering a single frame.

So the cache isn't available at the first frame? That's senseless actually ..

On what C4D Version are you working on? Could you please test this scene? Just open it, clear the console and hit render?

What I get is

<c4d.BaseObject object at 0x07764080> None

You need to let the Generator build the cache before the expression,
so set the priority of the tag to "Generators".

OH MY GOD! YOU'RE MY HERO! :hugging:
Thanks, Lennart! I never really "used" priorities in C4D.. And I didn't think of it.

That lets me continue my work on a number of projects! Thanks!
