Dear Chaosgroup,

could you pls share the commands and the plugin-id of the new V-Ray 5 Proxy Exporter?
I want to write a script via python but I dont know how to access or get access to the V-Ray Exporter and their settings.

Thank you in advance!

Hello,

Can you give us more details what script you are trying to write?

The proxy exporter is implemented as SceneSaver Cinema4D plugin. Its ID is 1055794. You can get a list of all available SceneSaver plugins using a script like this:

for plugin in c4d.plugins.FilterPluginList(c4d.PLUGINTYPE_SCENESAVER,True):
  print (plugin.GetID(), " = ", plugin.GetName())

To get the IDs of specific parameter - you can just drag and drop the parameter name in the script manager.

An example how to use a scene saver plugin in python can be found in the Cinema4D SDK samples here: https://github.com/PluginCafe/cinema...portAlembic.py

I hope this helps.

Hi ivan,

thx for the reply! That helped a bit. But what I wanna get access to is not easily be achieved via drag and drop. Thats not possible in this scenario. I need access to the V-Ray Proxy Converter Settings like in the Github-Example regarding Alembic:

# Change Alembic export settings
	abcExport[c4d.ABCEXPORT_SELECTION_ONLY] = True
	abcExport[c4d.ABCEXPORT_PARTICLES] = True
	abcExport[c4d.ABCEXPORT_PARTICLE_GEOMETRY] = True

but in my case I need the parameters for V-Ray Export like:

V-Ray_Proxy_Export[c4d.VRayexport_ADDPROXYTOSCENE] = True;

those I do need to know but cant extract/access them easily or I dont know how... Could you pls help me there?

Thx in advance!
