Hello @GillesKontrol ,

Thank you for your understanding,

Unfortunately this script doesn't include Specular and Displacement channels conversion.

Hi @FSS first of all happy new year ! 🙂

And I'm glad that you found a solution however even if this is in the documentation we don't explicitly support PyCharm and only provide a dummy package to have autocompletion working with any Python instance. But C4dpy is not supported by all IDE and we can't provide any support there.

If you want to have a better IDE workflow we released a plugin for Visual Studio Code, requiring a Cinema 4D plugin and a VS Code plugin.

Finally I moved this topic to general talk as it this is nothing related to Cinema 4D API.

Cheers,
Maxime.

Hi @Yakuza just in case you do have space in your Cinema 4D space, so the projectool don't understand clearly your input so you need to escape it by adding "" so something like:

kernel_app_64bit.exe g_updateproject="D:\MAXON_CODE\Maxon Cinema 4D 2023_CODE\sdk"

Cheers,
Maxime.

Hi Manuel,
Actually I couldn't find a clean answer..
The only way I found was to set some files into ../frameworks/settings/...

Best,

Sorry for the late reply

In order to do that you will need to start a new thread, and you need to keep alive the thread as long as it execute, meaning you will need to store it in a global variable. Best way would be to reach octane directly as 3rd party are free to implement this as they want.

Cheers,
Maxime.

@m_adam said in macOS Monterey - Can't run source processor anymore?:

So you have to link for example from /usr/local/bin to a python installation, I personally have Python 3.8.9.
Xcode itself ships with a python version you could link to (its in Contents/Developer/usr/bin of the application package).
So with that path you can call call sudo ln -s PATH_TO_PYTHON /usr/local/bin/python in terminal.

Hi Adam!

That is in deed what I tried, creating a symlink that points to Python 3. I didn't use the paths, though, but just linked the word "python" to "python3". I guess that was my mistake.

Wouldn't it be easier for Maxon and everybody else, if you just changed the preprocessor call in the projects' PreBuild events to "python3", instead of having to go the symlink way and change things on users' computers (which, I guess, will have side effects when users later decide to install Python 2.7 for some reason)?

Frank

hxx files are created by the preprocesssor when you compile.They are created in the Generate subfolder of each project.
Frameworks should work out of the box (even if sometimes, we have some bugs_

Oh, cool! I didn't know it was possible to deactivate those via comments.
Perfect, that should do it, thank you!

Ok, success.
Copying the plugin folder from pc to mac was the issue!

Ok, made it work now. Thank you so much.

I think we are talking past each other.

You can of course build any project any way you like. An then make sure that your plugins link to the build result using the link options defined in projectdefinition.txt.

But I think you want to include an already existing (non-plugin) project in the solution created by the Project Tool, right? And I think that is not possible. I guess you could add the project manually to the solution created by the Project Tool.

Hello,

you find information how to run a plugin from within Visual Studio in the documentation: Development for Microsoft Windows - Running Plugins.

best wishes,
Sebastian

Hi c4dmac, thanks for following up here.

With regard to the issue you've reported you can get fixed by reestablishing the executable bit on the kernel_app file found in the zip archive.
To sum it up, upon downloading the project tool archive you have to:

remove quarantine xattr -d "com.apple.quarantine" ./cinema4d_r21_project_tool_20190903.zip extract the archive (either via terminal or via finder) unzip -d ./cinema4d_r21_project_tool_20190903 ./cinema4d_r21_project_tool_20190903.zip re-establish the kernel_app executable bit chmod 555 ./cinema4d_r21_project_tool_20190903/kernel_app.app/Contents/MacOS/kernel_app

Best, Riccardo
