Command line export of ocs/orbx

Is it possible to export ocs/orbx files from python inside Cineman4D? or some other form of scripting. As far as I can tell its only possible to export it manually from the menu in the Live Viewer.

What I want to do is to be able to do is take a Cinema4D scene file and on the command line export it to a osc or orbx file. And then as a separate process I want to render it with octane standalone. Is something like that doable?

I found a reference to this in the help, but it does not exist anymore:

Thank you!
Andreas

Hi Andreas,

The Cinema 4D documentation has been revamped, and the link you have may have been from cached memory but so far page no longer exists. More so, the C4D plugin has come a long way from 3.0 and I can't guarantee if that command line from that old doc page will still work. But if you would like to try, it's something like this:

Code: Select all

CINEMA 4D.exe sample.c4d -exportORBX d:/output.orbx
