Detailed Description

UsdShadeConnectableAPI is an API schema that provides a common interface for creating outputs and making connections between shading parameters and outputs. The interface is common to all UsdShade schemas that support Inputs and Outputs, which currently includes UsdShadeShader, UsdShadeNodeGraph, and UsdShadeMaterial .

One can construct a UsdShadeConnectableAPI directly from a UsdPrim, or from objects of any of the schema classes listed above. If it seems onerous to need to construct a secondary schema object to interact with Inputs and Outputs, keep in mind that any function whose purpose is either to walk material/shader networks via their connections, or to create such networks, can typically be written entirely in terms of UsdShadeConnectableAPI objects, without needing to care what the underlying prim type is.

Additionally, the most common UsdShadeConnectableAPI behaviors (creating Inputs and Outputs, and making connections) are wrapped as convenience methods on the prim schema classes (creation) and UsdShadeInput and UsdShadeOutput.

Member Typedef Documentation

using UsdShadeConnectableAPI::ConnectionModification = UsdShadeConnectionModification

Determines whether the given input can be connected to the given source attribute, which can be an input or an output.

The result depends on the "connectability" of the input and the source attributes. Depending on the prim type, this may require the plugin that defines connectability behavior for that prim type be loaded.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

UsdShadeConnectableAPI::UsdShadeConnectableAPI ( const UsdPrim &  prim = UsdPrim() )

inlineexplicit

Construct a UsdShadeConnectableAPI on UsdPrim prim . Equivalent to UsdShadeConnectableAPI::Get(prim.GetStage(), prim.GetPath()) for a valid prim, but will not immediately throw an error for an invalid prim

Definition at line 93 of file connectableAPI.h.

UsdShadeConnectableAPI::UsdShadeConnectableAPI ( const UsdSchemaBase &  schemaObj )

inlineexplicit

Construct a UsdShadeConnectableAPI on the prim held by schemaObj . Should be preferred over UsdShadeConnectableAPI(schemaObj.GetPrim()), as it preserves SchemaBase state.

static USDSHADE_API bool UsdShadeConnectableAPI::ConnectToSource ( UsdAttribute const &  shadingAttr, UsdShadeConnectionSourceInfo const &  source, ConnectionModification const  mod = ConnectionModification::Replace  )

static

Authors a connection for a given shading attribute shadingAttr.

shadingAttr can represent a parameter, an input or an output. source is a struct that describes the upstream source attribute with all the information necessary to make a connection. See the documentation for UsdShadeConnectionSourceInfo. mod describes the operation that should be applied to the list of connections. By default the new connection will replace any existing connections, but it can add to the list of connections to represent multiple input connections.

Returns

true if a connection was created successfully. false if shadingAttr or source is invalid.

Note

This method does not verify the connectability of the shading attribute to the source. Clients must invoke CanConnect() themselves to ensure compatibility.

The source shading attribute is created if it doesn't exist already.

USDSHADE_API UsdShadeOutput UsdShadeConnectableAPI::CreateOutput	(	const TfToken &	name,
		const SdfValueTypeName &	typeName

Create an output, which represents and externally computed, typed value. Outputs on node-graphs can be connected.

The attribute representing an output is created in the "outputs:" namespace.

static USDSHADE_API bool UsdShadeConnectableAPI::DisconnectSource ( UsdAttribute const &  shadingAttr, UsdAttribute const &  sourceAttr = UsdAttribute()  )

static

Disconnect source for this shading attribute.

If sourceAttr is valid it will disconnect the connection to this upstream attribute. Otherwise it will disconnect all connections by authoring an empty list of connections for the attribute shadingAttr.

This may author more scene description than you might expect - we define the behavior of disconnect to be that, even if a shading attribute becomes connected in a weaker layer than the current UsdEditTarget, the attribute will still be disconnected in the composition, therefore we must "block" it in the current UsdEditTarget.

Return a UsdShadeConnectableAPI holding the prim adhering to this schema at path on stage. If no prim exists at path on stage, or if the prim at that path does not adhere to this schema, return an invalid schema object. This is shorthand for the following:

UsdShadeConnectableAPI(stage->GetPrimAtPath(path));

static USDSHADE_API bool UsdShadeConnectableAPI::GetConnectedSource ( UsdAttribute const &  shadingAttr, UsdShadeConnectableAPI *  source, TfToken *  sourceName, UsdShadeAttributeType *  sourceType  )

static

Deprecated:

Shading attributes can have multiple connections and so using GetConnectedSources is needed in general

Finds the source of a connection for the given shading attribute.

shadingAttr is the shading attribute whose connection we want to interrogate. source is an output parameter which will be set to the source connectable prim. sourceName will be set to the name of the source shading attribute, which may be an input or an output, as specified by sourceType sourceType will have the type of the source shading attribute, i.e. whether it is an Input or Output

Returns

true if the shading attribute is connected to a valid, defined source attribute. false if the shading attribute is not connected to a single, defined source attribute.

Note

Previously this method would silently return false for multiple connections. We are changing the behavior of this method to return the result for the first connection and issue a TfWarn about it. We want to encourage clients to use GetConnectedSources going forward.

The python wrapping for this method returns a (source, sourceName, sourceType) tuple if the parameter is connected, else None

static USDSHADE_API UsdShadeSourceInfoVector UsdShadeConnectableAPI::GetConnectedSources ( UsdAttribute const &  shadingAttr, SdfPathVector *  invalidSourcePaths = nullptr  )

static

Finds the valid sources of connections for the given shading attribute.

shadingAttr is the shading attribute whose connections we want to interrogate. invalidSourcePaths is an optional output parameter to collect the invalid source paths that have not been reported in the returned vector.

Returns a vector of UsdShadeConnectionSourceInfo structs with information about each upsteam attribute. If the vector is empty, there have been no connections.

Note

A valid connection requires the existence of the source attribute and also requires that the source prim is UsdShadeConnectableAPI compatible.

The python wrapping returns a tuple with the valid connections first, followed by the invalid source paths.

Returns all outputs on the connectable prim (i.e. shader or node-graph). Outputs are represented by attributes in the "outputs:" namespace. If onlyAuthored is true (the default), then only return authored attributes; otherwise, this also returns un-authored builtins.

static USDSHADE_API bool UsdShadeConnectableAPI::GetRawConnectedSourcePaths ( UsdAttribute const &  shadingAttr, SdfPathVector *  sourcePaths  )

static

Deprecated:

Please us GetConnectedSources to retrieve multiple connections

Returns the "raw" (authored) connected source paths for the given shading attribute.

static USDSHADE_API const TfTokenVector& UsdShadeConnectableAPI::GetSchemaAttributeNames ( bool  includeInherited = true )

static

Return a vector of names of all pre-declared attributes for this schema class and all its ancestor classes. Does not include attributes that may be authored by custom/extended methods of the schemas involved.

static USDSHADE_API bool UsdShadeConnectableAPI::HasConnectableAPI ( const TfType &  schemaType )

static

Return true if the schemaType has a valid connectableAPIBehavior registered, false otherwise. To check if a prim's connectableAPI has a behavior defined, use UsdSchemaBase::operator bool().

template<typename T >

static bool UsdShadeConnectableAPI::HasConnectableAPI ( )

inlinestatic

Return true if the schema type T has a connectableAPIBehavior registered, false otherwise.

static USDSHADE_API bool UsdShadeConnectableAPI::HasConnectedSource ( const UsdAttribute &  shadingAttr )

static

Returns true if and only if the shading attribute is currently connected to at least one valid (defined) source.

If you will be calling GetConnectedSources() afterwards anyways, it will be much faster to instead check if the returned vector is empty:

UsdShadeSourceInfoVector connections =
    UsdShadeConnectableAPI::GetConnectedSources(attribute);
if (!connections.empty()){
     // process connected attribute
} else {
     // process unconnected attribute
}

USDSHADE_API bool UsdShadeConnectableAPI::IsContainer

(

)

const

Returns true if the prim is a container.

The underlying prim type may provide runtime behavior that defines whether it is a container.

static USDSHADE_API bool UsdShadeConnectableAPI::IsSourceConnectionFromBaseMaterial ( const UsdAttribute &  shadingAttr )

static

Returns true if the connection to the given shading attribute's source, as returned by UsdShadeConnectableAPI::GetConnectedSource(), is authored across a specializes arc, which is used to denote a base material.

USDSHADE_API bool UsdShadeConnectableAPI::RequiresEncapsulation

(

)

const

Returns true if container encapsulation rules should be respected when evaluating connectibility behavior, false otherwise.

The underlying prim type may provide runtime behavior that defines if encapsulation rules are respected or not.

static USDSHADE_API bool UsdShadeConnectableAPI::SetConnectedSources ( UsdAttribute const &  shadingAttr, std::vector< UsdShadeConnectionSourceInfo > const &  sourceInfos  )

static

Authors a list of connections for a given shading attribute shadingAttr.

shadingAttr can represent a parameter, an input or an output. sourceInfos is a vector of structs that describes the upstream source attributes with all the information necessary to make all the connections. See the documentation for UsdShadeConnectionSourceInfo.

Returns

true if all connection were created successfully. false if the shadingAttr or one of the sources are invalid.

Note

A valid connection is one that has a valid UsdShadeConnectionSourceInfo, which requires the existence of the upstream source prim. It does not require the existence of the source attribute as it will be create if necessary.
