      The new denoising options in Redshift, making near-realtime rendering possible, got me thinking of an old idea again.
      Say I have a (physical) checkers set. With a camera and some software I can track the position of all the pieces during the game. Now I want those positions to transfer to my Cinema 4D project in real time. So the software tells me from where to where a piece is moved, whether it is black or white and if it is a double or not. I know I can move objects in C4D with a Python script, but can I connect that script to external input? I have been Googling for an hour now but I probably use the wrong search terms because nothing comes up.

        Hi ArjenA,

        This is a script-free forum for security reasons. No exception.

        I answered a similar question, and please allow me just to copy the reply:

        If you like to dive into scripting, this is the forum to go to:
        https://developers.maxon.net/forum/
        In this forum, we have decided to have no coding, as any code shared can harm artists/users. I can't check every "minute" if there is somewhere a post that has swapped out secure code with malware. So, if I see the code here, it will be deleted; sorry, but security comes first! Hence, the Coder forum is the place to go.

        All the best

          I get that. No problem, I'll try my luck on the other forum.
          Cheers and I'll see you next time I have a non-scripting question.
