Material to SOP in object merge May 11, 2018, 7:30 p.m.

Absolutely! I'm still getting to grips with using python, so I appreciate any and all edits! Made the change in my scene code as well. Can't thank ya enough, you've saved me so much time

That worked! Thanks a bunch, I really appreciate it!! Here's the code for anybody else curious:

# Support multiple selected nodes
for n in hou.selectedNodes():

# Only operate on Obj Merge SOPs

    if n.type().name() == 'object_merge':

        # Set variables for our nodes
        p = n.parent()
        m = p.createNode('material')
        objnode = hou.node(hou.parm(n.path()+"/objpath1").eval())

        # Connect the material sop to the obj merge sop
        m.setInput(0,n)
        
        # Move it below the merge node
        m.moveToGoodPosition()
        
        # Point the material sop to the obj's material
        if objnode.type().name() != 'geo':
            objnode = objnode.parent()
        
        hou.parm(m.path() + "/shop_materialpath1").set(hou.parm(objnode.path() + "/shop_materialpath").eval())

Edit by ndickson: Removed an indent that would have skipped Geometry objects.

I actually just caught that! Though unfortunately, it's still throwing a NoneType error for line 17; though this time it's claiming that “eval” doesn't exist?

Thanks again!
