TrackNodes¶

vtool.maya_lib.core.TrackNodes() This helps track new nodes that get added to a scene after a function runs.

class TrackNodes¶

This helps track new nodes that get added to a scene after a function runs.

Usage: track_nodes = TrackNodes() track_nodes.load() my_function() new_nodes = track_nodes.get_delta()

load(node_type=None)¶

node_type corresponds to the maya node type. For example, you can give node_type the string “animCurve” to load only keyframes. When after running get_delta(), the delta will only contain keyframes.

Parameters:	node_type (str) – Maya named type, ie animCurve, transform, joint, etc
Returns:	None

get_delta()¶

Get the new nodes in the Maya scene created after load() was executed. The load() node_type variable is stored in the class and used when getting the delta.

Returns:	list of new nodes.
Return type:	list
