can I move objects with an external script?
-
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. -
Thanks for your understanding with this, ArjenA.
Anything else, I'm happy to look into it. Please use a new thread for a new them
Thank you.My best wishes
