Hi CMPX,

thanks very much for the comment. It's definitively something helpful we'd consider to add in the future.

Best, Riccardo

Hi,

thanks for the additional feedback.

Please keep the discussion going, as we are late as always, the "feedback window" is not closed, yet. Well, I doubt it should ever be closed, we are always interested in your feedback. It's just the our first round of feedback evaluation, that was supposed to end end of November. So, please go ahead and pull more community members into the discussion. We'd really like to get some more opinions and feedback, especially when approaching such topics as reorganizing the category structure.

The breadcrumbs idea is nice.
And as soon as we have fixed the problem of users not being able to mark posts (not only entire threads) as correct answer, we'll also discuss about making threads questions by default.

Cheers,
Andreas

Plugin updated. Some bugs fixed 🙂

Ok. I posted with a link on my dropbox 😉

Hi @cmpxchg8b and @a_block ,
I don't know much about matrix, but here is what I found.
If the point with arrow should rotate to aim, then all the possible position of the point must lay on the sphere surface which sphere's center is the parent object.
And one point and a vector can form a line in space.
So the question becomes a line-sphere intersection problem.
After solving the equations, we can get 2 points: original point and transformed point(s).
After that, we can find the transform matrix between 2 points.

Hi,

no, unfortunately we can not provide a live stream. And given our extremely shy nature a recording is no option either 😉
But we will certainly provide our slides for download afterwards. Some example code can actually already be found on GitHub. And depending on the interest of the community and our time and resources, we are also considering webinars. And with this year's interest, I'm pretty sure it will not have been the last DevKitchen.

Cheers,
Andreas

Hi Axel,

welcome in our small developer forum. 😃

Unfortunately, it's not the right place to discuss issues with MAXON Labs plugins. This forum is really focused on discussing development related topics with 3rd party developers. The comment you posted on MAXON Labs directly already was the right approach.

The thing with MAXON Labs is, that these are all side projects of our developers, often done in spare time. As the page states, MAXON does not promise any support or future maintenance. With that said, usually our developers provide support nevertheless, just because the want these projects top work ok. But then it also heavily depends on their current workload. I made the developer aware of the issue and it can be reproduced (which is always the first step to a fix), but I can't make any promises when he might find the time to look into it.

Cheers,
Andreas

We published the final DevKitchen timetable in above mentioned blog post.

Hello,

you might have to add the pyp file path to the system path using:

sys.path.append(os.path.dirname(__file__))

so

import sys import os sys.path.append(os.path.dirname(__file__)) import hello_function

best wishes,
Sebastian

Hi @mikeudin,

I'm wondering if your question has been answered. If so, please mark this thread as solved.

Cheers,
Yannick

Hi Donovan,

thanks for your feedback. Currently we are bound mostly by DevKitchen preparations. But we promise to get back to this issue and think about other options as soon as we find the time.

Until then: If you click on the "unread message queue", there in the top right you have commands to mark messages as read, either all or just for certain categories. Maybe this can at least ease your pain, until we find the time to address the issue.

Bye,
Andreas

Hello,

in Cinema 4D R20 the environment variable C4D_PLUGINS_DIR has been removed.

It has been replaced with g_additionalModulePath. You can use this command also as a command line argument.

See Environment Variables.

Please notice that you can mark your post also as a question. See Q&A New Functionality.

best wishes,
Sebastian

Hi and welcome in the community Steve.

Thanks for the report. It 's now solved.

Hello Klaus,

yes, it was a deliberate decision to make everybody register from anew. In the old forum had thousands of spam accounts, we wanted to get rid of.

We hope, you can understand and that it's not too big of an inconvenience.

Cheers,
Andreas

Hi Kent, thanks for reporting.

Although I'm glad to hear that it actually didn't showed up again, there are actually backup activities running twice a week but they should not interfere at all with the normal board functionality. So far I'll take a look at it.

That said, if a similar situation will happen again in the future, please provide us with the precise time in order to help us browse and verify through the logs.

Cheers, Riccardo

Hello,

Set Driven Keys is just some workflow to create an Xpresso setup connecting two parameters. This has nothing to do with scripting or CallCommand().

Can you maybe explain somehow differently what you want to achieve?

best wishes,
Sebastian

Hi! You could go for CTracks via Python. You'd have to get the track for a position parameter, for example, or create one, then get curve, then add keys. Later, you could simply range map it back to your Xpresso rig. it It's definitely doable!
