CNV Conversion Subdivision 文档

Overview

The CNV Conversion Subdivision plugin for Cinema 4D is a utility designed to streamline the process of converting subdivision surface objects into Octane object tags with appropriate subdivision levels. It automates the process of applying subdivision levels to child objects, removing unnecessary subdivision surface objects, and ensuring a clean and optimized scene.

Features

1. Convert Subdivision Surface Objects:

- Automatically converts all subdivision surface objects into Octane object tags.

- Applies the appropriate subdivision level to child objects.

2. Dynamic Subdivision Level Calculation:

- Recursively calculates and accumulates subdivision levels for child objects.

3. Scene-Wide or Selected Objects:

- Processes either the entire scene or only selected objects, depending on the user's selection.

4. Undo Support:

- Fully integrated with Cinema 4D's undo system, allowing users to revert changes easily.

5. User Feedback:

- Displays a message dialog with the number of removed subdivision surface objects after processing.

- Selected Objects: If objects are selected, the plugin processes only the selected objects and their children.

- Entire Scene: If no objects are selected, the plugin processes all objects in the scene.

3. Result:

- Subdivision surface objects are removed.

- Child objects receive Octane object tags with the appropriate subdivision levels.

- A message dialog displays the number of removed subdivision surface objects.

Example Workflow

1. Open a Cinema 4D project with subdivision surface objects.

2. Select the CNV Conversion Subdivision plugin from the menu.

3. Choose one of the following options:

- Selected Objects: Select specific objects in the scene and run the plugin to process only those objects.

- Entire Scene: Run the plugin without selecting any objects to process the entire scene.

4. The plugin will:

- Convert subdivision surface objects into Octane object tags.

- Apply the appropriate subdivision levels to child objects.

- Remove the original subdivision surface objects.

5. A message dialog will display the number of removed subdivision surface objects.
