Hi, in the studio we have 6 C4D licences and 10 RS licences (4 render only nodes). However, we have run into a problem when setting up the Deadline renderer. It looks like it needs a full C4D licence, not just a RS licence. Is this the case or is it possible to use Deadline to render on a render only node with a RS licence?

Thanks

Hi Dr. Sassi, thanks for your reply. This C4D project works, but only in version 2023. Here is captured video:

As you can see, the setup works in 2024.1.0 but only until the cursor leaves the viewport. Also everything works with CUBIC mapping, there is some issue with UV mapping I guess. Is it possible that this bug is fixed in the latest version?

Hi, I am struggling with Shader field in 2024.Here is simple setup with scattered objects on mesh, shader field and bitmap mask for it. The problem is that the same setup which works in 2023 doesn't work in 2024 versions. The issue is that in 2024 version shader field doesn't work in UV mode. I tried to load this bitmap in Channel COLOR (not Custom shader) and link to material tag but this also doesn't work in UV mode, only in cubic.

My question is how can i achieve this simple setup in version 2024? Did something change on this system compared to 2023 that I didn't notice?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Dr. Sassi, thanks for the guidance.

Hi there, I have a question about a few lines of Python code in Cinema 4D. I have a functional script that executes my saved script via a button. However, sometimes the saved script changes the Command ID, causing the button to fail.

Is there a way to specify the Command ID in my script or can someone rewrite it to execute based on the file path instead?

Thank you for any possible solutions.

from typing import Optional
import c4d

#Python Tags Object placed User Data Button
def message(msg_type, data):
    if msg_type == c4d.MSG_NOTIFY_EVENT:
        event_data = data['event_data']
        if event_data['msg_id'] == c4d.MSG_DESCRIPTION_COMMAND:
            desc_id = event_data['msg_data']['id']
            if desc_id[1].id == 16:
                c4d.CallCommand(600000014)

def Button():
    c4d.CallCommand(600000014)


def main():

    obj = op.GetObject()
    bc = c4d.BaseContainer()
    obj.AddEventNotification(op, c4d.NOTIFY_EVENT_MESSAGE, 0, bc)

Understand, thanks for your time Dr. Sassi.

All the best

Hi Dr. Sassi, yes this works fine, but I need the same functionality with the watch folder. I just need to double click or drag and drop a scene from the Watch folder into a current scene (after double clicking or dragging and dropping from the Watch folder, the elements are opened as a new C4D project).

Hi there,

I would like to ask if it is possible to add objects, tags, materials, presets... to the watch folder in the asset browser? The only way is to save it like a C4D file to the watch folder (which works perfectly), but after double clicking on the asset, it opens as a new project. My intention is to import it into the current scene, not open it as a new project.

Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks.
