In this post, I will give some examples of how to search nodes in your current Houdini scene.
(This post will be updated.)
Search by type
import nodesearch
matcher = nodesearch.NodeType('kevfx_python_tools', hou.objNodeTypeCategory())
nodes = matcher.nodes(hou.node('/obj'))This is to search for obj nodes which type is 'kevfx_python_tools' under “/obj” node.
Some notes here:
NoteType is initialised with two arguments: node type name and node category.
It will try to search for an object level node which has type name 'kevfx_python_tools'.
It is searching the nodes under /obj node.
If you need to search in the subnetworks, use this line of code instead:
nodes = matcher.nodes(hou.node('/obj'), recursive=True)
