Cinema 4D Python Bytes: The Python Tag - Add Functionality.

In this Cinema 4D Python tutorial, we use the Python Tag to allow us to select every other polygon of a geometric object. This is not a perfect solution, but it definitely works!

My thanks go to the following people, all of whom have been kind enough to buy me a coffee:

Matt, Cedric, Uriah, Willy, Vadim, Tim, Simone, Alain, David and Daniil.

Your generosity is always, greatly appreciated!

WOW! That's Awesome! Works flawlessly on R19! Thanx for sharing that!

The modulo issue seems strange but might be an easy fix. I don't have C4D on this machine so I can't confirm this right now but try changing the for loop from "in range(count)" to "in range(len(sel))". The code as it is loops through all polygons of the object when you only need to loop through the selected polygons. With this you can also remove the count variable altogether to save a few cycles.

thanks for the tutorial I was wondering if you got this to work with multiple loops as my version is offsetting the loop selection and i could do with a way to fix it
any help would be great thanks

I can't get it to work for some reason

This is really handy, I was thinking that this can be used to create a tufted sofa pattern.I have a request if you would be gracious enough to consider it. How would you control thinking particles using expresso and python, imagine particles that are multiple of 5 move in one direction and multiple of 7 move in another direction.Another great video thanks.

thanks for this, it is very useful.
