Given just the final ROP how do I, in python, get the list of all the ROPs direct dependencies?
I'm working on a custom render submitter.
I know I can run
hou.node("out/r").inputDependencies()
to get the full list, but that doesn't give me the dependencies of each node in turn.
I figure I'll probably need to write a recursive function to spit these out. Something that runs over each subsequent list of dependencies until there are none then return the list. Somehow.
But maybe not? I imagine there might be an internal to Houdini way to do this, no?
Do you mean the nodes directly connected to your Rop node of interest? If you want the first-level dependencies, couldn't you just also run RopNode.inputs() and check that each node in inputDependencies() is also in that list?
The ‘render -p’ hscript commamd prints dependencies out with a lot more control over the format. It gives each job an ID and a list of IDs that job depends on.
Might be nice to have multiple dependency lists returned from `inputDependencies()` akin to `render -pF` ids rather than a singular flat list of all `render -pF` line items. For example, the last node in each sublist represents a line item from `render -pF` and the line item id order resolves to the dependent rop object order in that list.
