Testing Beta 0.87b (SDK 1.20) **updated 04.10**

[krzychuc4d]

Hi Aoktar,

not sure if anyone reported a bug
with function "remove unused materials"

example:
create mix material and place two other materials inside MIX
right after applying "remove unused materials"
all materials inside MIX material are gone

strange behaviour

I'm using latest 0.87b.

thanks,

This is a pretty well known issue. Bottom line is, i don't think C4D can understand the mix material. It sees that the mix material is applied, but then assumes the materials inside the mix material are not being used because they are not specifically applied to any objects. I have managed to deal with this by being very particular with assigning materials different layers to keep track of them.

I reckon you could assign the materials you want to save from deletion to dummy objects that are invisible.

Hi Aoktar, I have a quick question. I'm using python to try and get/place the image texture into an OctaneSky.

Using a python tag I can get up to the imageTexture using this code:

def main():
pass #put in your code here
tex = op.GetObject().GetFirstTag()

print tex[c4d.ENVIRONMENTTAG_TEXTURE]


How can I get further/ Caqn this be implimented to get with python and or use all inputs as ports in Xpresso?

Thanks,

-Shawn

do you want to acces texture parameters? You can drop the texture slot to xpresso, but filename is not accesable with xpresso.
This code will show all any parameters with a different way

Code: Select all

import c4d

OCTANE_ENVIRONMENT_TAG = 1029643

def main():
    tag = op.GetObject().GetFirstTag()
    while tag:
        if tag.GetType()==1029643:
            tex = tag[c4d.ENVIRONMENTTAG_TEXTURE]
            print tex[c4d.IMAGETEXTURE_FILE]
            print tex[c4d.IMAGETEXTURE_POWER]
            print tex[c4d.IMAGETEXTURE_GAMMA]
            print tex[c4d.IMAGETEXTURE_SCALE]
            print tex[c4d.IMAGETEXTURE_INVERT]
            print tex[c4d.IMAGETEXTURE_MODE]
            print tex[c4d.IMAGETEXTURE_SCALEX]
        tag = tag.GetNext()

Thanks aoktar that gave me what I was looking for! I needed a way to dynamically change the texture file that the Environment tag uses.

no body any idea to set up a refraction index? ...i have to simulate water in closeup - need to setup refraction- index of 1.333
ahmet - whre is this paremeter hidden in mat-setup??

what about specular material->index?

[kirbyzz]

that´s it thanx...rigth specular matrial index works...

thanx

Hi,

which version do I need for motion blur?

Have 0.87b but cannot find where to activate it.
