ok! finally, it is imporant to use the doc to get the irs !
now it works.

irs = c4d.modules.render.InitRenderStruct(doc)

but question:
is this the only / best way to check if textures are missing?

an alternative would be to actually check if the file is existing somewhere in the given paths

tx, i just wanted to report it...

I also just ran into this...
< R24 you dont have BaseList2D.IsNodeBased, but as a small hack you can do:

def isNodeMaterial(op):
  return True if op.GetType == c4d.Mmaterial and '[Node]' in op.GetBubbleHelp() else False

hi and thanks Maxime !

GetAllAssetsNew() is S22 only,
and I had problems with InitRender() and Vray Bitmaps

so I decided to manually check for the files...
I had it already, but GenerateTexturePath() shortens the code quite a bit, because I dont have to check all possible paths.

It seem GenerateTexturePath() returns the absolute path, if the file is found somewhere in the texture paths, otherwise it returns None.

needs some testing, but until now it seems to work well.

best, index

Hi,

Just FYI ...
I just noticed, that a Quicktab Radio UserData change results in two Messages (with the same UserData ID)
If I change the interface to Cycle, I get only one Message as expected for an UserData change.

This might be a tiny miny Bug (?)

Hi,

below is a simple CommandData plugin with a submenu to invoke different actions.

This works fine if more than one of these plugins (with unique Plugin Ids ofc) are in one plugin folder.
But there is no menu if there is only one plugin present in the folder.

Is there a way to create such a menu with one plugin, while not registering each menu point as separate command?

hi, i came up with this now...

def hasGenFlag(op):
	description = op.GetDescription(c4d.DESCFLAGS_DESC_NONE)		
	bc = description.GetParameter(c4d.ID_BASEOBJECT_GENERATOR_FLAG)
	return not bc[c4d.DESC_HIDE] if bc else False

also its clear that "Generator" is a wide definition which doesn't match the Green Checkmark / Enabled GUI Element.
in this sense the topic title is wrong bc i was just searching for a way to distinct objects having this GUI element from others which don't.
(i can't change the topic title, i guess)
