c4d.plugins.SceneLoaderData

A data class for creating scene loaders. Use RegisterSceneLoaderPlugin() to register the plugin.

Note

Before you start writing your own SceneLoaderData plugin, you should read NodeData Management before.

class c4d.plugins.SceneLoaderData

• SceneLoaderData.Identify()
• SceneLoaderData.Load()

Inheritance

• c4d.plugins.NodeData

  • c4d.plugins.SceneLoaderData

Methods

SceneLoaderData.Identify(self, node, name, probe, size)

Override - Identify the file type as one that can be loaded using this plugin. If possible, the file should not be identified through the suffix, but through the probe data.

Parameters:

• node (BaseList2D) – The node object.
• name (str) – The name of the loader.
• probe (buffer) – The start of a small chunk of data from the start of the file for testing this file type. Usually the probe size is 1024 bytes. Never call the buffer outside this method!
• size (int) – The size of the chunk for testing this file type.

Return type:

bool

Returns:

True if your plugin recognises this file.

SceneLoaderData.Load(self, node, name, doc, filterflags, error, bt)

Override - Load the file into the document.

Parameters:

• node (BaseList2D) – The node object.
• name (str) – The filename of the file to load.
• doc (BaseDocument) – The document that the selected objects should be loaded into.
• filterflags (int) –

  Information about what can be done during this load call:

  SCENEFILTER_0	No flags.
  SCENEFILTER_OBJECTS	Load/save only the objects and associated items, such as materials used.
  SCENEFILTER_MATERIALS	Load/save only the materials.
  SCENEFILTER_DIALOGSALLOWED	Flag to inform your plugin that a dialog can be displayed if you wish, if this flag not set then no dialogs must be opened.
  SCENEFILTER_PROGRESSALLOWED	Flag to inform your plugin that a progress bar can be displayed if you wish. The progress bar can be set by calling StatusSetBar().
  SCENEFILTER_MERGESCENE	Flag to inform your plugin that this is a merge operation, i.e. that the document you are inserting to is an existing scene.
  SCENEFILTER_NONEWMARKERS	Objects loaded from disk will keep their markers
  SCENEFILTER_SAVECACHES	Caches of objects will also be written (only supported by C4D file format). This equals the global option “Save Polygon Objects for Melange Exchange”

• error (None) – Currently not used.
• bt (None) – Currently not used
