Hi, I would like to store the "Render layer" parameters in Octane Render settings inside a take.
Currently I'm using a python script to achive this, but seems to put C4d in an unstable state resulting in frequent crashes while executing a "Render all marked takes".

Code: Select all

import c4d

doc: c4d.documents.BaseDocument 

ID_OCTANE_LIVEPLUGIN = 1029499

def main():
   

    rd = doc.GetActiveRenderData()
    octane = rd.GetFirstVideoPost()
  

    if enable:
        octane[c4d.SET_RENDERLAYER_ACTIVE] = 1
    else:
        octane[c4d.SET_RENDERLAYER_ACTIVE] = 0
    octane[c4d.SET_RENDERLAYER_ID] = layerid

    c4d.EventAdd()

Here "octane" maybe NULL, check it!

First of all thanks for the quick reply!

I'll add this check, even if I actually print octane.GetName() to the console and seems fine.

I've changed the expresso node priority to Genarator 400 and so far stability as improved a lot.

But yet would be nice to store Render Setting inside a take.

Bests.

Sorry, I mean adding an override. Like in my case overriding the "layer id" in AOV renders settings in a particular take.
