@manuel Wow! Manuel thank you so much I'm new in code development so that's why its fo easy for me to have those kind of mistakes. Thank you so much for your support.

Hello folks! I want to create an RS New node editor Material that connects an Image that it is imported from my own path calling that image from the dialog to import it as a Texture and connect that to the Color and also to a Color Splitter that it's also connected to the Opacity. I found this code from Ferdinand, but I don't understand pretty well how to do something similar but not calling the Texture from an URL:

import c4d
import maxon

doc: c4d.documents.BaseDocument # The active document.

    """Returns the asset URL for the given file asset ID.
    """
    # Bail when the asset ID is invalid.
    if not isinstance(aid, maxon.Id) or aid.IsEmpty():
        raise RuntimeError(f"{aid = } is not a a valid asset ID.")

    # Get the user repository, a repository which contains almost all assets, and try to find the
    # asset description, a bundle of asset metadata, for the given asset ID in it.
    repo: maxon.AssetRepositoryRef = maxon.AssetInterface.GetUserPrefsRepository()
    if repo.IsNullValue():
        raise RuntimeError("Could not access the user repository.")
    
    asset: maxon.AssetDescription = repo.FindLatestAsset(
        maxon.AssetTypes.File(), aid, maxon.Id(), maxon.ASSET_FIND_MODE.LATEST)
    if asset.IsNullValue():
        raise RuntimeError(f"Could not find file asset for {aid}.")

    # When an asset description has been found, return the URL of that asset in the "asset:///"
    # scheme for the latest version of that asset.
    return maxon.AssetInterface.GetAssetUrl(asset, True)
