adding customised icons
There are many command in C4D that do not have icons associated with them. As these are 32×32 tifs is there a way of adding your own?
I tried just adding one to one of the plugins folders that doesn’t have one, but no luck.
Thank you

Unfortunately you can’t add custom icons.

[Adam Trachtenberg] “Unfortunately you can’t add custom icons.”
Not entirely true (no offence). Just read an article that would allow such things to be done using COFFEE scripting. Have to look into the matter, but it seems that scripts are able to add data to the global resource files, thus allowing this behavior.

Yes, by using a function in a script and assigning the script an icon you can get around this limitation.
Assigning icons to scripts is very easy, you just hit one button and the current view is rendered as an icon.
Using the functions is mostly rather easy too, the commandmanger will show you the commands number which you can use with callcommand in the script.

Well there you go–learn something every day. 🙂
Note to self: must look into this scripting/coffee business.

thanks Bjorn
I must check out this scripting/coffee stuff too. Way back in my 3DS days I scrited in Max and my guess is it’ll be easier in c4d.
