Hi sorry I overlook your answers,

There is no way to directly change the path in the RenderQueue to do so, you have to edit the document.
So before adding a document, you need to load them, then define the path in the render setting and then resave the file.
Here a quick example.

import c4d # Load the document docPath = r"PATHtoc4dFile.c4d" doc = c4d.documents.LoadDocument(docPath, c4d.SCENEFILTER_OBJECTS | c4d.SCENEFILTER_MATERIALS, None) # Retrieves the active render setting renderData = doc.GetActiveRenderData() # Set the new path for the picture renderData[c4d.RDATA_PATH] = r"MyPicturePath.exr" # Save the document c4d.documents.SaveDocument(doc, docPath, c4d.SAVEDOCUMENTFLAGS_DONTADDTORECENTLIST, c4d.FORMAT_C4DEXPORT)

Cheers,
Maxime.

hi,

I've moved the answer about the output path to this thread

hi @cinamatic ,

You should open a new thread for your question as it is not related to this thread.
I found this thread where you will find some useful information about takes and material.

If you have any question, please open your own thread explaining what you are trying to achieve and pointing to those different threads. Futur user will find every information to follow the discussion.

Cheers,
Manuel

@m_adam Thanks a lot, great help, I will try your way

@ilad Well, it's not limited to non-animated objects. As @r_gigante posted, you're actually modifying the points and the matrix. Both operations can also be achieved manually. So, no difference if animated or not.

The only thing you have to keep in mind when modifying animated objects is to make sure, all keys containing Matrix/PLA data have to be handled as well.

hello,
thanks @tummosoft, it's nice to see it's helpful 😄

@ilad
By the way instead of ID_BASEOBJECT_POSITION you could have use ID_BASEOBJECT_REL_POSITION. Both Ids are the same.

If you want to know how to get those ids you can use the python console and drag and drop parameters, more information on this page

In this case the DescID is composed of two DescLevel. The first define the Vector type, the second de Float type for X, Y and Z.

(DescID can have less or more levels)

To change the Size.Y of the cube, the descID will be :

c4d.DescID(c4d.DescLevel(c4d.PRIM_CUBE_LEN, c4d.DTYPE_VECTOR, 0), c4d.DescLevel(c4d.VECTOR_Y, c4d.DTYPE_REAL, 0)))

To change the scale of the object the descID will be :

c4d.DescID(c4d.DescLevel(c4d.ID_BASEOBJECT_REL_SCALE, c4d.DTYPE_VECTOR, 0), c4d.DescLevel(c4d.VECTOR_Y, c4d.DTYPE_REAL, 0)))
