Python Field

Python Field

The Python Field can be used to create more extensive algorithms via Python Script. Programmers can read up on all details regarding programming and scripting in Cinema 4D at http://developers.maxon.net. Look for the Python Field object.

If you’re wondering why there’s a Python Field Layer in addition to the Python Field itself, the Python Field has a position in 3D space, can draw in the Viewport and be split between different Field lists. For the advanced user, this can be a powerful (but also very complex) tool. The effect of the Python Field Layer on the other hand is restricted to a specific Field list and doesn’t generate any separate objects, which means that it’s somewhat easier/faster to use. It can also access Field values of previously added layers as a modifier.
