About your First Question

Your question is off-topic even for our General Talk forum because this forum is about the APIs of Maxon products and coding in general. We will not delete such end-user questions but you will not get an answer from Maxon here, and likely also no community answer as must users are here developers or technical artists.

Please visit our Support Center when you have a technical end-user question.

Cheers,
Ferdinand

Hi just in case for Cinema 4D, there is already Move by Maxon. With that's said it's always nice to have new plugins in Cinema 4D.

I have to admit I struggle a bit to understand if you ask for someone to help you to solve your issue or take over the Cinema 4D development of this plugin.
If this is the second one I would encourage you to be a bit more clear in order to maybe convince someone to take over.

In any case good luck and if you have any technical question related to Cinema 4D, feel free to ask in the Cinema 4D category.

Cheers,
Maxime.

We removed it because it was just extra work for us to close all the threads where people never bothered to mark them as solved. But I am happy that you seem to have found your solution.

@ferdinand Wow, I couldn't find the support center so I had to ask a question here. Thank you so much for letting me know.

Hello @seora,

Thank you for reaching out to us. There is noch such functionality to encrypt Python scripting elements. You can encrypt Python plugins, but not things like a Python tag or generator object.

I have moved this thread since its is not about the Python API but a feature of Cinema 4D.

Cheers,

Hello @hSchoenberger,

Sorry, but this is a C4D SDK question!
It is NOT about the Octane SDK.

"How can I list all installed renderer plugins in C4D with their version?"

Although you have put your sentence into quotes, that was not what you asked, your questions were:

Is there any way to get some information about renderer plugins?
I want to get the version of the Octane plugin.

So how I can loop through all plugins loaded and get some information from the plugins like the version?

And I answered that: There is no public interface with which you could get the version of a plugin. And when plugins provide version information on their own, you must ask their vendors about that. You can access the flags a plugin has been registered with BasePlugin.GetInfo, the disk-level is in-accessible for you.

You can detect installed render engines by looping over all video post data plugins and check if they have PLUGINFLAG_VIDEOPOST_ISRENDERER set (this assumes that the to be detected render engine sets this flag on registration - which is usually unavoidable as you otherwise cannot hook in the render system of Cinema 4D, but there might be 'rogue' render engines out there which side step things).

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: """Called by Cinema 4D when the script is being executed. """ plugin: c4d.plugins.BasePlugin for plugin in c4d.plugins.FilterPluginList(c4d.PLUGINTYPE_VIDEOPOST, True): if (plugin.GetInfo() & c4d.PLUGINFLAG_VIDEOPOST_ISRENDERER): print (plugin.GetName()) if __name__ == '__main__': main() # Example output for a vanilla installation.

@Dunhou Thanks, I'm having a lot of fun making TP run like a train, I'm trying to optimize the code by vectorizing some functions and gain new FPS. I will keep this post updated on developments as much as possible

Hi @m_adam
It's nice to hear that, and thank you!

you can test for all cases, that's why I call those edges "candidates".

The devil is always in the details.

There are many ways to skin this cat.

@ferdinand I've played with your idea for a bit and then realized, that the point where the adj meets the ground is wrong, as it should be the point where a circle or f = opp with center in O meets the ground. Eventually I decided to just hack it a bit and change the position of the rotating object and the object inside to counter that move. Here's the result:
