PyMel- Getting texture file from a material

So, my first inelegant-yet-functional PyMel script is done and working. The core of it is in this little snippet here, that digs through a mesh's inputs until it finds the texture node on the surface shader: #Pass through the mesh's shape and return a texture name. import pymel as pm def getTextureFile(geo): sg = [] #Get the shading group from the selected mesh raw_sg = pm.listConnections(geo, type='shadingEngine') #Rapidly check for duplicates in the list- I do this by checking each item #against an empty list. #If the item is not in the empty list I append it. for element in raw_sg: if element not in sg: sg.append(element) #Get some info sgInfo = pm.listConnections(sg[0], type='materialInfo') fileNode = pm.listConnections(sgInfo[0], type='file') textureFile = pm.getAttr(fileNode[0].fileTextureName) print 'This is the file', str(textureFile) return str(textureFile) It st...

Calling Python from Substance Painter

Here is a quick code snippet for calling a Python script from Substance Painter and parsing the results. The in/out is very simple, but serves as an example of using the alg.subprocess.check_output function to bridge the JS api and your own Python scripts. // This can be called from the QML UI, or elsewhere in the plugin code. function GetAllFilesInDirectory(root) { if (root == undefined) return; // I put my scripts in a relative path to keep my plugin tidy. var script_path = "Scripts/FileUtils.py"; // Gathering files var ret = "NOSTRING"; try { // The arguments are used as parameter inputs to the Python script. This requires some planning // and well communicated conventions, but works well enough. ret = alg.subprocess.check_output( [ pypath, // Absolute path to interpreter. script_path, // Relative path to the py script. "log_files_of_type", // sys.argv[1], in this case the python ...
