How can I get the material belonging to a texture tag? I don´t really know how to use the returned marker that I can get with GetMaterial().
I guess I have read in the C++ of R8 there are no markers anymore. How does it work for COFFEE now?
Thanks
Samir

Markers were used by iterating through all materials and checking if their markers matched. That has now been replaced by BaseLinks. (Not available in C.O.F.F.E.E.)

I haven't tested if Markers still work in R8. If they don't, then I don't think it's possible to find the material belonging to a texture tag in C.O.F.F.E.E.

Thanks, that helps. It´s not pretty elegant but what shall I do. Hope COFFEE will be updated with the next Cinema 4D update.

As far as I can tell the markers are still maintained. At least this produces the expected results:

    
    
    main(doc,op)  
    {  
      var tag = op->GetFirstTag();  
      println(getclass(tag));  
      var mark = tag->GetMaterial();  
     println(getclass(mark));
    
    
    
    
      var mat = doc->GetFirstMaterial();  
      println(getclass(mat));
    
    
    
    
      println(mat->GetMarker()->IsEQ(mark));  
    }

So pre R8 methods of getting the material should work. (I.e. looping through all materials checking for the one with the matching marker.)
