Cineversity

Hello,

I would like to more tutorials on Python, especially on Python Effector.

Thanks.

Yes! More!

Just to add to this older post, i was just watching this video

And the coffee effector made to do the billboard flip looks amazing, would love to know how to do that.  I’d love to see a tutorial for that but maybe with the python effector?

I’ll watch anything Python related right now. So I co-sign this.

Thanks for the ideas and votes. :o)

Just started learning Python and would like to add my vote for C4D/Python tutorials.  (So that makes… six.)

If I may chime in here, since the introduction of Python as a native part of C4D, it is more than clear to me that learning Python by itself is not the main obstacle. What I got from people using C4D over the years: getting overwhelmed and lost finding the right parts in the SDK, and how to use or feed them with the proper information.

As Python was developed a while back in The Netherlands, as a language to teach kids to use coding options, the waste amount of recourses shouldn’t be duplicated and the real need comes as usual a little bit short.

From all the C4D specialized training I took from all over the place—one point stands out, the instructors go somehow magically to the “SDK place” and take what they need without any real uncertainty and without ever really leaving a clear explanation of the logic one must apply to use it. I used training in several languages—same result in each.

To create a plug-in or a single specialized solution is not working, if the way to the library is not well explained. This needs to come first - nothing else makes sense for my before that,

Just my two cents.

I look forward to a well document format and procedure series about the SDK.

Sassi,

My fingers are crossed that your next series on Cineversity is for C4D/Python integration.  I might join FXPHD, but honestly, the only reason I would is to download their two Python courses.  The C4D208 and C4D214 classes look amazing.

I wish Cineversity had something similar—I think it’s the kind of education this site would be perfect for.

In the meantime, I’ll just stay busy actually LEARNING Python and wait and see what happens next.

PS
No wonder the Netherlands has a declining crime rate, the younger generation is too busy hacking code. 8^)

Jerome Olivier,

I took the C4D208 among others (online python classes). It is certainly a nice one. But also he does not really get a clear concept across of how to get a “logic” about the SDK library.

Besides that, perhaps start with the “PYT101: Python Scripting for Compositors”. It is one of the courses I took when they came out. Since then it had gotten some updates. So it is certainly well checked.

The C4D214, I haven’t taken, but the “R16 Workflow on the Dreadnought Trailer” with Manuel Casasola Merkle - Aixsponza might be interesting when it will be published here (soon).

I have taken nearly one hundred courses at FXPHD since 2007, but currently I have to move my budget more to new lights and lenses, etc. I know that the people at FXPHD care a lot, and I certainly gained a lot since.

Enjoy the ride, Python is powerful and the most used language in “our” industry”.

All the best

Sassi

Yeah, lots to learn.  Will jump into it once I’m done with (one, two, three, ...) hundred or so other tutorials I already have lined up. ;^)

Jerome

Enjoy the ride!
