Can finally show some work I did for the Walking Dead Season 9 last year. This was a pretty dreamy project. The props department needed a sword designed for the Jesus Monroe character. They gave me basic dimensions that they had tested out with the actor and some research from the comic and previous action figures and then I was let loose from there. I designed three different options - this is the one they ultimately went with. Stitching, seams, etc in the renders could be better overall, but the whole thing went together in just two days.

i loved all of them , 3 robots was hilarious especially :D

New batch of setups :P 94_Raffale(MG+CA).c4d 93_EKG_rig(MG+XP).c4d 95_Concertina_rig(MG+XP).c4d

you can also replace the RHS of t[c4d.CID_SOUND_START] = c4d.BaseTime(delay) with the time user data value

Python nodes and tags have their own advantages. If you have a lot of objects to read from and write to, but hardly any number crunching, a python node is quicker to set up - just click some wires as opposed to typing many doc.SearchObject(), ditto writing data etc in a tag. One little glitch with python nodes, is that sometimes a node doesn't work because there's no output port connected. I've never managed to isolate the actual conditions when this happens, but I usually have a redundant output connected 'just in case'. In the 1st file, there was a remark 'leave this connected' - force of habit. When editing python, a lot of people click compile and if it says 'no errors' think that's it. You should also check menu > script > console for error messages. In the dropbox file, if you try to select more tracks than are loaded you see this in console the usual fix for that is 'if xyz : return'

Great work, and congrats on the cool gig! I worked on the Walking Dead motion comic way back when they were promoting the first season :D

I tried dragging 'use sound' into the python window and it seems that value is accessible. If you load several tracks, you could select which one to play, and maybe output the corresponding filename eg from a list of strings. sn = doc.SearchObject('soundnull') sn2 = doc.SearchObject('soundnull.1') t = sn.GetFirstCTrack() t2 = sn2.GetFirstCTrack() t[c4d.CID_SOUND_ONOFF] = 0 # 1 = play t2[c4d.CID_SOUND_ONOFF] = 1 edit - something like this dropbox
