Hello,

I'm upgrading a videoPostData plug-in to the newest SDK version.

With R22, my plug-in Execute method was called each time the user changed the scene (move a mesh, play timeline, ...).

With 2023.2.2 and with the same code the Execute is only called after a render.

RENDERRESULT MyPlugin::Execute(BaseVideoPost* node, VideoPostStruct* vps)
{
    ApplicationOutput("I want to be called at each editor-window change");
    if( vps->vp == VIDEOPOSTCALL::RENDER && !vps->open && *vps->error == RENDERRESULT::OK )
    {
        VPBuffer *rgba = vps->render->GetBuffer(VPBUFFER_RGBA, NOTOK);
        // ...
    }
    return RENDERRESULT::OK;
}

How can I restore this behavior with the new SDK?

As reference, the behaviour I'm looking for is the same as the current "Sketch and Toon" effect when you enable "ViewportDisplay/Show Lines" in the effect settings.

macos 13.4.1
C4D 2023.2.2
C++ SDK

Thanks for your help

Thank you for the reply. I'll create a new topic

Hi community!

I'm upgrading a plug-in to apply a post effect in realtime to the viewport. The plug-in was working until R23, and now doesn't work realtime in the viewport (no code change).

I'm using the vpinvertimage example as base.

So far my only finding is without this line the post effect won't be rendered in realtime.

https://github.com/PluginCafe/cinema4d_cpp_sdk_extended/blob/e23f0f94b45bca4cf14ea4aff2f9fdc07aa8c00e/plugins/cinema4dsdk/source/videopost/vpinvertimage.cpp#L91

However I can't make sense of it since the viewportId "invert" doesn't appear anywhere else in the code, and I couldn't find any other differences between this effect and the other examples that doesn't get rendered realtime.

Any ideas?

Thank you for your help
