Hi @BigRoy,

For the alembic camera, you can use c4d.MSG_GETREALCAMERADATA, for example:

def main(): data = dict() op.Message(c4d.MSG_GETREALCAMERADATA, data) print(data['res'])

Another option (which would work for other object types as well) would be to check type of the object's cache using GetCache().

Hey BigRoy, sadly it's still impossible, I will start the discussion again, thanks for the reminder.

@m_adam said in Register event callbacks for "new file", "open file", "save file" (hooks?):

Regarding new document, sadly there is no way to hook into that and the best way would be to have a MessageData, list all doc by calling c4d.documents.GetFirstDocument and then iterating them by calling BaseList2D.GetNext(). Since a document is a BaseList2D you can hash them and therefor know if there is a new document.

So that would just be running on a timer then, with the hope that I 'trigger' on it swiftly enough? Doesn't fit my needs so dedicated SceneHooks I can register application wide would be a mad helper for this!

Aside of that - was there still a way to 'add' the python generator object into the scene without it maybe serializing into the saved file? Like have a flag that says "Do not serialize"? (Also, Scene Hooks would still be better)

Hi @BigRoy,

in python the lifetime of the objects is handled automatically so you're right, there's no need to do anything special to destruct the object.

Good job on your project! Thanks for sharing it with the community!

The issue about PYTHONPATH is now resolved in R21 Sp2.
