What is this?

About Cinema 4D Python environment and c4d module I tried diving lazily It's also an extension of the C4D Python copy book previously distributed at the event. Feelingly a continuation of this ...?

Cinema4D, command line options on OS X, etc. http://qiita.com/it_ks/items/5c052366fb8d1c9952b0

Before accepting

Here, it will be a little different from the module name, so Speaking of "** c4d **", ** Python module **. The application is abbreviated as Cinema 4D. Mostly.

environment

OSX 10.10.5、Cinema4D R14。

`python`


print c4d.GetC4DVersion()

14042

It returned with a 5-digit int. Looking at the about dialog, it is divided into 14 and 042.

By the way, the API version is (▼)

`python`


print c4d.GetAPIVersion()

(1, 1, 2406)
#Is this like this?

The Python environment for Cinema4D R14 is 2.6.4.

`python`


print sys.version_info

(2, 6, 4, 'final', 0)

I will try to get the OS version via Python.

`python`


import platform
print platform.mac_ver()
('10.10.5', ('', '', ''), 'i386')

Version Type Cinema 4D has different grades such as Broadcast and Prime under Studio with all of them. In terms of API, those classifications seem to be called "** version type **".

`python`


print c4d.GeGetVersionType()

4

The version type of Cinema 4D that we are using is "** 4 **". 4, what is ...? According to this https://developers.maxon.net/docs/Cinema4DPythonSDK/html/modules/c4d/index.html#c4d.GeGetVersionType Counting from 0, 4 is "Cinema 4D Broadcast." Correct answer!

`python`


print c4d.VERSIONTYPE_BROADCAST

4

For the time being, dir ()

Dir () without putting anything inside. Check the tools that are laid flat.

`python`


import c4d
from c4d import gui
#Welcome to the world of Python
print dir()

['__builtins__', '__file__', '__name__', '__package__', 'c4d', 'doc', 'gui', 'op']

Is like something that can be placed without doing anything, basic equipment.

c4d

`python`


print type( c4d )

dir( c4d ) A tremendous amount was returned and I couldn't see everything on the Cinema 4D console

Let's look at the number of items.

`python`


print len(dir(c4d))

17828

strong

doc

`python`


print type( doc )

<type 'c4d.documents.BaseDocument'>

It seems that the "Base Document" in c4d.documents is what it is. Other friends ...

`python`


print dir( c4d.documents )

It looks like a module for dealing with files (scene files) handled by Cinema4D, c4d.documents.

`python`


Welcome to Python 2.6!  This is the online help utility.
If this is your first time using Python, you should definitely check out
the tutorial on the Internet at http://docs.python.org/tutorial/.
Enter the name of any module, keyword, or topic to get help on writing
Python programs and using Python modules.  To quit this help utility and
return to the interpreter, just type "quit".
To get a list of available modules, keywords, or topics, type "modules",
"keywords", or "topics".  Each module also comes with a one-line summary
of what it does; to list the modules whose summaries contain a given word
such as "spam", type "modules spam".
help> 
You are now leaving help and returning to the Python interpreter.
If you want to ask for help on a particular object directly from the
interpreter, you can type "help(object)".  Executing "help('string')"
has the same effect as typing a particular string at the help> prompt.

"Command" family in c4d

Command Handlers.

`ID=5159`


#For example, for the ID 5159

c4d.CallCommand(5159) #cube

print c4d.GetCommandName(5159)
cube

print c4d.GetCommandHelp(5159)
Add a cube object

`python`


help(c4d.CallCommand)

Help on built-in function CallCommand in module c4d:
CallCommand(...)
    Call Command

...... Is it wrong to expect something from the help command?

What command is that ID?

Turn with for and try to inquire from one end. However, only those that start with "ID".

`python`


for i in dir(c4d):
    if i.startswith('ID'):
        tmpID = c4d.__dict__[i]
        if c4d.GetCommandName(tmpID):
            print i,tmpID,c4d.GetCommandName(tmpID)

There are some things like, oh, I think it was an ID that goes into here. Or rather, it seems that the correspondence between the ID and the content is written somewhere.

Summary

I'm tired so around here

It's an SDK so it's not that friendly (prejudice)

By the way, once While explaining the Python environment of Cinema 4D Actually, I think there was a rock article about Python (and open source culture). How about that (distant eyes) Was Python really bad? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ??

Isn't there any document that explicitly mentions what "op" is? let's search.

Remarks

Executing a function in the documentation

It often happens that you request id or a numerical value as an argument, What number should I put in! I feel like.

Generally, there is a table just below, and it seems that you can get an ID by adding "c4d." To the item name. (Same for c4d.VERSIONTYPE_BROADCAST at the beginning)

For example, gui.MessageDialog.

`python`


def main():
    gui.MessageDialog('Hello World!')

    gui.MessageDialog('Hello World!',c4d.GEMB_YESNOCANCEL)
    print c4d.GEMB_YESNOCANCEL # -> 3
    gui.MessageDialog( str(c4d.GEMB_YESNOCANCEL),3 )

I added 3 lines to the function written when I made a new one in the script manager. The figure is where the third dialog is displayed.

Script manager and command line

It's nice to write new code in the script manager, If this is the case, the executed script will not be output to the console. (Although it may be desirable)

When executed from the command line, the executed contents are also output to the console. [OK] is attached to the head.

By the way, script manager doesn't work undo? Isn't that a demon?
