Dear Cinema4D Developers,

In ttexture.h,

TEXTURETAG_MATERIAL = 1010, // link

says that TEXTURETAG_MATERIAL takes a link as input. However, how can I implement this requirement using this command-line? I tried with c4d.DA_ALIASLINK but did not work.

ID_TEXTURETAGMATERIAL=c4d.DescID(c4d.DescLevel(c4d.TEXTURETAG_MATERIAL,c4d.DA_ALIASLINK,0))

What I want to do is to assign material " mat1 " to c4d.TEXTURETAG_MATERIAL that way. Is this possible? The entire script is shown below.

Thank you very much for your kind of help.

Ricardo.

# First check if the track type already exists, otherwise create it...
track=op.FindCTrack(id)
if not track:
	track=c4d.CTrack(op,id)
	op.InsertTrackSorted(track)

curve=track.GetCurve()
key=curve.AddKey(c4d.BaseTime(frame,doc.GetFps()))
key["key"].SetValue(curve,value)

def main() :
fps=30
frame=180
doc.SetMaxTime(c4d.BaseTime(frame,fps))
doc.SetTime(c4d.BaseTime(frame,fps))

# Materials:

mat1.SetName("MM1")
mat1[c4d.MATERIAL_COLOR_COLOR]=c4d.Vector(1,1,0)

You can simply assign the material to c4d.TEXTURETAG_MATERIAL like this:

mtag[c4d.TEXTURETAG_MATERIAL]=mat1

And CKey.SetValue() only works with float values:

key["key"].SetValue(curve,value)

You should use CKey.SetGeData() instead for the bitmap. I'll ask the developers if it's possible to make this work.

Dear Yannick Puech,

Thank you very much!

So, what I have to do is to modify the definition CreateKey by this one:

def CreateKey(op,id,value,frame) :
if not op.GetDocument() : raise Exception, "object must be in a document"

# First check if the track type already exists, otherwise create it...
track=op.FindCTrack(id)
if not track:
	track=c4d.CTrack(op,id)
	op.InsertTrackSorted(track)

curve=track.GetCurve()
key=curve.AddKey(c4d.BaseTime(frame,doc.GetFps()))

 **if type(value)==int or type(value)==float:**

** key["key"].SetValue(curve,value)**
** else:**
** key["key"].SetGeData(curve,value)**

Isn't it?

Thank you.

Yes, this should work as expected.
