C4D transfer script - copy and paste materials, vertex maps and redshift tags by name or by hierarchy

These scripts are designed to transfer material tags, vertex maps, and Redshift object tags between hierarchies in Cinema 4D. They offer two distinct functionalities: transferring based on the object's name and transferring according to the hierarchy's structure.

FUNCTIONALITIES:

Materials: it maintains the order of materials and the selections assigned to the respective materials. If objects in the destination hierarchy already have certain materials applied, the script won't duplicate those tags. Instead, it will only add the missing material tags.

Vertex map tags: it ensures the retention of all properties, including fields. If objects in the destination hierarchy already have Vertex Map tags with the same name as those in the source, those tags are replaced to ensure accurate transfer. The script is designed to handle objects with multiple Vertex Map tags having the same name.

Redshift tags: it faithfully retains all tag properties, such as visibility, geometry, and object ID, ensuring an accurate transfer of settings between objects.

HOW TO USE:

1. Select the source hierarchy.
2. Next, select the target hierarchy.
3. Execute the script.

INSTALLATION:

The scripts are provided as .py files. To install them in Cinema 4D:

1. Download the scripts.
2. Open Cinema 4D.
3. Navigate to Extensions → User Scripts → Script Folder.
4. Inside the "scripts" directory, drop the downloaded scripts. If you prefer, create a folder called "Transfer" inside "scripts" and drop them there to keep it organized.
