I'm not sure I understand you correctly, you do not have to use QuickTabRadio bar with resource, you just retrieve the int value of the parameter, in the case of the previous example I share with a GetInt32(c4d.MGCLONER_VOLUMEINSTANCES_MODE).
If you can provide a code example of what is blocking you that would be nice.
You can find a non-exhaustive list of type of control available in *res file within the C++ documentation in Description Resource.

Hey you are not supposed to modify the scene graph during the init function.
Adding children to a tag while it may be possible is as far as I know not something done in Cinema 4D. so for optimization purpose I would not be surprised that they are never copied at all.
With that's said I would recommend you to use a custom branch to store your BaseList2D as demonstrated in C++ SDK: Custom Branching Code Example .
In last case you should implement the CopyTo to properly copy your data when your node is copied. But again modifying the scene Graph during the Init is not the way to got.

Maxime.
Hey the internal function is not exposed in Python neither in C++. Sadly the function also use a function that is only exposed in C++ with no proper workaround.
Here is the C++ implementation of the function
inline cinema::OBJECTCATEGORY ObjectToCategory(const cinema::BaseObject& object)
{
return ObjectToCategory(object.GetType(), object.GetInfo());
}
inline cinema::OBJECTCATEGORY ObjectToCategory(cinema::Int32 type, cinema::Int32 objectInfo)
{
cinema::OBJECTCATEGORY category = cinema::OBJECTCATEGORY::OTHER;
switch (type)
{
case Oweighteffector: category = cinema::OBJECTCATEGORY::DEFORMER; break; // FIX[4850]
case Ojoint: category = cinema::OBJECTCATEGORY::JOINT; break; // FIX[4853]
case Onull: category = cinema::OBJECTCATEGORY::NULLOBJECT; break;
case Opolygon: category = cinema::OBJECTCATEGORY::POLYGON; break;
case Osds: category = cinema::OBJECTCATEGORY::HYPERNURBS; break;
case Ocamera:
case Orscamera:
category = cinema::OBJECTCATEGORY::CAMERA; break;
case Olight:
case Orslight:
category = cinema::OBJECTCATEGORY::LIGHT;
break;
case Oenvironment:
case Oforeground:
case Obackground:
case Ofloor:
case Osky:
case Ostage:
case Oselection: category = cinema::OBJECTCATEGORY::SCENE; break;
case Oworkplane: category = cinema::OBJECTCATEGORY::GRID; break;
case 1001414: // ID_TP_PARTICLEGEOMETRY
case Ofpgroup: // new particle group
case Ofpmultigroup: // new particle multi group
case Oparticle: category = cinema::OBJECTCATEGORY::PARTICLE; break;
case Ovolume:
case Osimulationscene:
// ITEM#128166 Alembic: Viewport and Selection Filter recognizes it as Spline
case Oalembicgenerator: category = cinema::OBJECTCATEGORY::GENERATOR; break;
// ITEM#9437 MoGraph and Spline Display Filter
case Omgcloner: category = cinema::OBJECTCATEGORY::GENERATOR; break; // Omgcloner
case Ohair: category = cinema::OBJECTCATEGORY::HAIR; break; // Ohair
default:
{
// This function is not exposed in Python, so use objectInfo directly
if (!cinema::C4DOS_Bo->ObjectTypeToCategory(type, category))
{
// ITEM#133494 Spline filter doesn't filter splines
// i gave ISSPLINE the highest priority back and added switches for alembic and cloner generators above
if (objectInfo & OBJECT_ISSPLINE)
category = cinema::OBJECTCATEGORY::SPLINE;
else if (objectInfo & OBJECT_GENERATOR)
category = cinema::OBJECTCATEGORY::GENERATOR;
else if (objectInfo & OBJECT_MODIFIER)
category = cinema::OBJECTCATEGORY::DEFORMER;
else if (objectInfo & OBJECT_PARTICLEMODIFIER)
category = cinema::OBJECTCATEGORY::PARTICLE;
else if (objectInfo & OBJECT_FIELDOBJECT)
category = cinema::OBJECTCATEGORY::FIELD;
}
break;
}
}
return category;
}
With that's said I've made a note for myself to implement this function in Python (no ETA).

Hey @lanxiang I guess you are using *.res file to define the layout.
For the red part this is the first one is defined like that:
LONG MGCLONER_VOLUMEINSTANCES_MODE
{
CUSTOMGUI QUICKTABRADIO;
CYCLE
{
MGCLONER_VOLUMEINSTANCES_MODE_NONE;
MGCLONER_VOLUMEINSTANCES_MODE_RENDERINSTANCE;
MGCLONER_VOLUMEINSTANCES_MODE_RENDERMULTIINSTANCE;
}
}
Then based on the value you will need to hide/unhide other elements within the GetDDescription method as shown here.
The green one is a vector with a step of 1 and its defined like that:
VECTOR MG_GRID_RESOLUTION
{
MIN 1;
MAX 2000000;
STEP 1;
OPEN;
}
Cheers,

Hey @Viktor-Velicko I'm busy this week and I will be able to have a deeper look at it only next week.
With that's said here are few hints (at least what I would try first).
Cheers,
Maxime
Hey @randymills Python provide helper to directly call SetParameter on the correct parameter just with the integer value.
With that's said internally we construct a DescID which is constructed from one or multiples DescLevel. SetParameter usually only deal DescID, since only DescID are able to identify a given parameter.
With that's said here is you code working as expected demonstrating you both way.
import c4d
doc: c4d.documents.BaseDocument # The currently active document.
op: c4d.BaseObject | None # The primary selected object in `doc`. Can be `None`.
def main() -> None:
if op is None:
raise RuntimeError("No object selected")
c4d.CallCommand(431000045) # Create Vertex Color Tag
doc.SetAction(1021286) #Makes the paint tool active
tool = doc.GetAction()
tool = c4d.plugins.FindPlugin(tool, c4d.PLUGINTYPE_TOOL)
if not tool:
print("Vertex Paint tool not found!")
return False
# Use SetParameter directly
if True:
myVertexColor = c4d.Vector(0.0,1.0,0.0) # Green
vertexColorSuccess = tool.SetParameter(c4d.ID_CA_PAINT_TOOL_VERTEXCOLOR, myVertexColor, c4d.DESCFLAGS_SET_NONE)
if not vertexColorSuccess:
print("Failed to set vertex color parameter!")
return False
# Debug: Verify the parameter was set
current_value = tool.GetParameter(c4d.ID_CA_PAINT_TOOL_VERTEXCOLOR, c4d.DESCFLAGS_GET_NONE)
print(f"Set color: {current_value}")
# Use DescID and DescLevel
if True:
myVertexColor = c4d.Vector(1.0,0.0,0.0) # Red
descLevel = c4d.DescID(c4d.DescLevel(c4d.ID_CA_PAINT_TOOL_VERTEXCOLOR, c4d.DTYPE_VECTOR, 0))
vertexColorSuccess = tool.SetParameter(descLevel, myVertexColor, c4d.DESCFLAGS_SET_NONE)

# tool[c4d.ID_CA_PAINT_TOOL_VERTEXCOLOR]=myVertexColor
# myVertexColorTag = c4d.DescID(c4d.ID_CA_PAINT_TOOL_VERTEXCOLOR, c4d.DTYPE_VECTOR, 0)
# tool.SetParameter(myVertexColorTag, myVertexColor, c4d.DESCFLAGS_SET_0)
c4d.CallButton(tool, c4d.ID_CA_PAINT_TOOL_APPLY_ALL) # Applies the color to all vertices
c4d.EventAdd()

@Dunhou said in Hide RenderPost settings:
I think you need to override RenderEngineCheck to false, the document said:
Bool MyRenderer::RenderEngineCheck(const BaseVideoPost* node, Int32 id) const { switch (id) { case RENDERSETTING_STATICTAB_MULTIPASS: case RENDERSETTING_STATICTAB_ANTIALIASING: case RENDERSETTING_STATICTAB_OPTIONS: case RENDERSETTING_STATICTAB_STEREO: return false; } return true; }Cheers~
DunHou
Thanks that's indeed the correct way to do it

Hi @npwouters I'm sorry I've very limited time, right now I will try to have a look at it tomorrow (just that you do not think we have forgotten you) or in worse case Wednesday.

Hey you need to react to MSG_GETCUSTOM_NAME_ADDITION and return a dict with the expected string with the "res" key.
You need to register your object with c4d.OBJECT_CUSTOM_NAME_ADDITION to have the additional name displayed in the Object Manager.
Cheers,
Maxime.
Hi @Tpaxep,
Welcome to the Maxon developers forum and its community, it is great to have you with us!
Before creating your next postings, we would recommend making yourself accustomed with our forum and support procedures. You did not do anything wrong, we point all new users to these rules.
It is strongly recommended to read the first two topics carefully, especially the section Support Procedures: How to Ask Questions.
The tool has indeed been updated, but the docs were not.
Here is how to call it. Note that you have to pass a polygon index, this is mandatory and it needs to be adjacent to one of the vertex to indicate a direction of the ring selection. Here is your script adapted, to be run on a sphere that was made editable.
import c4d
from c4d import utils
def select_ring_edge(obj, v1Id, v2Id, polyId):
bc = c4d.BaseContainer()
bc.SetData(c4d.MDATA_RING_SEL_STOP_AT_SELECTIONS, False)
bc.SetData(c4d.MDATA_RING_SEL_STOP_AT_NON_QUADS, False)
bc.SetData(c4d.MDATA_RING_SEL_STOP_AT_POLES, True)
bc.SetData(c4d.MDATA_RING_BOTH_SIDES, False)
bc.SetData(c4d.MDATA_RING_SWAP_SIDES, False)
bc.SetData(c4d.MDATA_RING_FIRST_VERTEX, v1Id)
bc.SetData(c4d.MDATA_RING_SECOND_VERTEX, v2Id)
bc.SetData(c4d.MDATA_RING_POLYGON_INDEX, polyId)
bc.SetData(c4d.MDATA_RING_SELECTION, c4d.SELECTION_NEW)
result = c4d.utils.SendModelingCommand(
command=c4d.ID_MODELING_RING_TOOL,
list=[obj],
mode=c4d.MODELINGCOMMANDMODE_EDGESELECTION,
bc=bc,
doc=c4d.documents.GetActiveDocument(),
flags=c4d.MODELINGCOMMANDFLAGS_NONE
)
c4d.EventAdd()
return result
def main():
doc = c4d.documents.GetActiveDocument()
obj = doc.GetActiveObject()
if obj is None:
c4d.gui.MessageDialog("select obj.")
return
firstVertex = 346
secondVertex = 347
polygonIndex = 312
result = select_ring_edge(obj, firstVertex, secondVertex, polygonIndex)
if result:
print("DONE")
else:
print("ERROR")
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
Note that the same settings also apply for the ID_MODELING_LOOP_TOOL, just modify RING by LOOP in the constant so MDATA_RING_SEL_STOP_AT_SELECTIONS become MDATA_LOOP_SEL_STOP_AT_SELECTIONS.
Cheers,
Maxime.
Did you had a look at geuserarea_drag_r13.py? There is no else statement but that would be the perfect place to do something specific on single click. But there is no built-in solution you have to kind of track all by yourself as done line 294.
Cheers,
Maxime.
Hi @wen I've moved your topic to the bug section since it's indeed a bug, I will ping you on this topic once the fix is available, it should come in one of the next update.
The issue is that the internal cache is not properly updated and therefor this is failing.
With that's said there is a ugly workaround which consist of calling it twice so the cache is properly updated.
Find bellow a version that is going to work in all versions

Hi @shafy sorry for the delay I was away for few times.
Before we start please read the Support Procedure - About AI-Supported Development. Keep in mind we are not there to develop for you neither integrate or guide you with 3rd party module that you will most likely need in order to control knobs.
With that's said what you are asking (at least retrieving a parameter and defining it) is possible for Redshift light intensity. It is as easy as drag and dropping the parameter you are interested by into the Cinema 4D Python Console as explained in Python Script Manager Manual - Drag And Drop. Additionally you can also use the Script Log to record a script or change and therefor re-execute it.
Cheers,
Maxime.
Hi @ECHekman sorry it took me more time than I expected. From my meory octane already have a Python module registered in C++. So I assume you want to add symbols to this python module.
One important aspect is that the Symbol Parser by itself is completly agnostic of the c4d module therefor you can call it with any Python interpreter. This point is really important because this let you parse your C++ header files whenever you want within your build pipeline.
With that's said the Symbol Parser is bundled within the mxutils package which needs the c4d and maxon module.
So in order to have it running with any python intepreter you will need to do the following:
import sys
CI_PROJECT_DIR = r"C:\Users\m_adam.INTERN\Documents\MAXON\gitlab\c4d"
# Build path to import the parser_symbol
maxon_python_path = os.path.join(CI_PROJECT_DIR, "resource", "modules", "python", "libs")
if not os.path.exists(maxon_python_path):
raise RuntimeError(f"DEBUG: update_python_symbols - Unable to find {maxon_python_path}")
# Get python311 folder where the symbol parser is located
mxutils_path, symbol_parser_path = None, None
for folder in os.listdir(maxon_python_path):
full_path_folder = os.path.join(maxon_python_path, folder)
if not os.path.isdir(full_path_folder):
continue
# We found the mxutils module containing the symbol parser.
if os.path.exists(os.path.join(full_path_folder, "mxutils", "symbol_parser")):
mxutils_path = os.path.join(full_path_folder, "mxutils")
symbol_parser_path = os.path.join(mxutils_path, "symbol_parser")
if None in (mxutils_path, symbol_parser_path):
raise ImportError(f"Could not find 'symbol_parser' module path in {maxon_python_path}.")
sys.path.append(mxutils_path)
print(f"DEBUG: Added {mxutils_path} to sys.path.")
# Import the symbol parser and do your stuff.
import symbol_parser
# Do something with it
sys.path.remove(mxutils_path)
Then the Symbol Parser paradigm is that you first parse your data and then the parser contain Scope that contains member (a name and a value).
Therefor once you have parsed your data you can freely output to multiple format if needed. You can also write your own format if you want to.
In this case because you are using mostly the Cinema API and not the Maxon API I re-use the same output as the one we use for the c4d Python package.
This output is implemented in c4d\resource\modules\python\libs\python311\mxutils\symbol_parser\output_classic_api.py. Everything in the Symbol Parser is open source so feel free to look at it.
So to get back to your question find bellow the next code that will parse all the resources files from the Redshift folder and insert them within the "redshift" Python Package. (You usually do not have to do that because Python is parsing automatically the c4d_symbols.h and include such symbols within the c4d Python package this is for the example). With that's said there is basically two ways, one hardcoding the parsed value in your C++ plugin when you register your Python module, the second one using a Python file that will get loaded at the startup of Cinema 4D once your Python module is already loaded and therefor inject symbol into your module.
import os
import c4d # Only used to retrieve various C4D paths used in this example, but not really necessary otherwise
# These imports bellow are not bound to the c4d module therefor they can be used with a standard Python3 interpreter
# But this code is written to be executed in the Script Manager, so you may need to adapt the import statement according to how you run this script.

@hoganXYZ hi if it does not appear in the script log then there is no clear rules. Sometimes there is another way sometimes now it depends on how it is implemented. For the one you asked I do not think it is possible. Best bet would be to ask Redshift on their forum.
Cheers,
Maxime.
Hi just to let you know I will answers you next week Monday.
Cheers,

Hi sadly there is not much you can do with it in Python. The only use case is if your want to create a kind of hashmap on the pointer, but I do not see a big use case of that to be honest. I will see if I can improve thing a bit here, because in C++ via the lhit you can retrieve the polygon and the underlying object being hit, which is important information but this is very low on my priority list. So in general regarding shader I would say you better at look at C++ since in any case doing a Shader in Python will most likely be a performance killer.
Cheers,
Maxime.
Hi @itstanthony you can use c4d.CallCommand(1040239) to toggle the start/stop of the Redshift IPR.
You can know such command ID by using the Script Log and doing the action you want to.
Then to check if the command is active you can use c4d.IsCommandChecked(1040239).
Cheers,
Maxime.
Hi I was able to reproduce the issue and fix it for the next version.
The bug is that setting RDATA_FRAMERATE require the RenderData to be part of a document in case the "Use Project Frame Rate" is enabled on the render settings. If this is enabled and this is enabled by default the value you enter will be disregarded. "Use Project Frame Rate" is a new setting added in 2025.2.
I will ping you once the fix is available.
Cheers,
Maxime.
