Re: [Scripting] Using FindChildren to find Hair/HairSimOps etc...

["Dan Yargici" <danyargici(at)gmail.com>]

Hmmm, I'll look into those, thanks....

However - unless I'm mistaken the hair itself is an X3DObject! and I seem to be unable to use FindChildren to find hair objects!

I'm sure it's something fundamentally daft on my part, but I couldn't make it work.

I'll check out your suggestions now....

FindChildren finds X3DObjects, so it won't find operators.

 

How about FindObjects(), or XSICollection.Items with wildcards?

I can't for the life of me get this to work... Am I missing something really obvious?

var oHairColl = ActiveSceneRoot.FindChildren(null, ???);

What I really want are the Hair Dynamics operators but the hair objects themselves would do.... Right now I'm checking the type of everything in the scene to filter out the hair objects, then going through each of their construction histories looking for the Simulation operators and returning my collection of operators, but this seems really round the houses.

I've tried 'hair', 'siFurOpType', 'siFurPrimType' etc.... which type do you guys use in conjunction with FindChildren when working with hair?

Thanks,

DAN
