Hey there guys.
I have a quick question.
I am trying to make a shelf tool at the obj level to automate some processes to go through my scene, collect some info, and at the end of the day create a new geo node, and python sop node within it. I then want this script to insert code into it that python sop.
If anyone has any links with info on how to do this it would be appreciated.
I think I came by a site a few weeks ago when I was looking for other info that had listed a way on how to create a point wrangle and auto insert code into it, but at the moment I am hoping on using python for this exercise.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers.
python inception?

Are you only looking for help with creating the geo node and python sop? This will do that:
If your python code going into the python sop gets complicated, it might be easier to save a preset for the python sop and assign that instead of trying to set the python code parameter.
# Get the root obj node parentNode = hou.node("/obj") # Create a new geo node under the parent node geoNode = parentNode.createNode( "geo", "some_geo_node" ) # Create a python sop under the geo node pythonNode = geoNode.createNode( "python", "some_python_node" ) # Get the python code parameter from the python sop codeParm = pythonNode.parm("python") # Create the python code as a string value code = "foo = 'bar'\n\nprint foo" # Set the python code parameter to the python code string value codeParm.set( code )
If your python code going into the python sop gets complicated, it might be easier to save a preset for the python sop and assign that instead of trying to set the python code parameter.
hou.hscript( "oppresetload %s '%s'" % ( pythonNode.path(), "Some Saved Preset Name" ) )
