fwilleke80 / pointprojector

A simple Cinema 4D plugin that non-destructively projects the points of a spline or polygon object on geometry.

R20 version of PointProjector

A simple Cinema 4D plugin that projects the points of a spline or polygon object on geometry. It is basically like Cinema's own "Project" command, but implemented as a deformer, working with both, Splines and Polygon objects, and working non-destructively.

This plugin demonstrates the following C4D API aspects:

• Deformer object plugins, derived from class ObjectData
• Ray intersections with class GeRayCollider
• Supporting MoGraph falloffs with class C4D_Falloff
• Achieving good performance by using a custom caching mechanism with ObjectData::CheckDirty()
• Getting polygons and caches from generator objects
• Drawing in the viewport
• Vector and matrix math in general

pointprojector's Issues

Only Draw() when object active

Only draw into the viewport if the PointProjector is active/selected.

Please update to R25

Please update to R25

Don't always draw the viewport vis

Only draw into the viewport if the PointProjector is active/selected.

String encoding

German Umlaut looks wrong on windows. Fix character encoding in strings.

Do WeightTags work?

Didn't test that yet. Might need a few lines of extra code.

Add Invert option

An "Invert" option would be nice. It will project onto the surface from the inverse direction.

Animated fields don't update

When animating a field, the PointProjector does not update
