Hi,

Is there a C4D API call for retrieving the PID given a process name? Our plugin spawns a new process when we do IPR (re-rendering) and we need to figure out if the process is still alive.

Thanks!

Hello and welcome,

are you talking about threads or processes? As far as I know the Cinema API does not handle processes so you would probably have to use OS functions.

Best wishes,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

Yeah, I was talking about processes. That's too bad.
