Asset Metadata Sept. 17, 2021, 7:09 p.m.

Is there any way to pass asset meta data to the assets created by Houdini Engine?

Thanks,

Chris

Thank Pelos.

Creating a new template from scratch is documented. I am looking for something slightly different.

In the “Edit Parameter Interface” there are a bunch of pre canned parameters in the “Render Properties” or “Node Properties” tab. These have predefined labels and are tagged with where they should be placed.

I want to script selecting one of those parameters in that dialog and pressing the right arrow button.

opproperty does that in hscript. If there is a python equivalent, it is not documented.

I would like to translate this hscript into python:

opproperty -f $arg1 rman* ri_bezshutteropening

opproperty creates a spare property from a set of pre-defined properties. I can't find anything in the python API that seems to do that.

Do you have any hints?

Thanks
Chris
