Use the object_count returned by this function to get the hapi.ObjectInfo structs for each child object using hapi.getComposedObjectList.
Note, if not using the categories arg, this is equivalent to:
hapi.composeChildNodeList session, parent_node_id, hapi.nodeType.Obj hapi.nodeFlags.ObjGeometry true, &object_count );
Usage ¶
composeObjectList(session: hapi.Session, parent_node_id: int, categories: str) → int
Compose a list of child object nodes given a parent node id.
session
The session of Houdini you are interacting with. See hapi.Session for more on sessions. Pass None to just use the default in-process session.
parent_node_id
The parent node id.
categories
(Optional) Lets you filter object nodes by their render categories. This is a standard OBJ parameter, usually under the Render > Shading tab. If an OBJ node does not have this parameter, one can always add it as a spare.
The value of this string argument should be None if not used or a space-separated list of category names. Multiple category names will be treated as an AND op.
Returns object_count as a int.
