Houdini 20.5 Nodes TOP nodes

ShotGrid Find TOP node

Finds ShotGrid entities

Since 17.5

This node is used with a shared server created using a ShotGrid Server Begin node.

For each result, a work item will be created with a Python Object attribute with the name of the entity type. The value will be a Shotgun entity dictionary.

For performance reasons, it is recommended that field hopping be used if possible.

See Shotgun.find for more details.
