pymxs runtime implementation of MaxPlus.Core.GetRootNode() ?

[Anonymous]

Hello!

As my title indicates, I'm wondering if there's a runtime implementation of the GetRootNode function in MaxPlus, specifically I would love to know if there's a way to traverse the children of the root node.

Kind regards,

Martin,

Thank you for your question.

If you strictly want to use pymxs in your Python script, here is the way to do it:

from pymxs import runtime as rt

def getRootNode():
    rootScene = rt.rootScene
    worldSubAnim = rootScene[rt.Name('world')]
    return worldSubAnim.object
	
def outputNode(n, indent = ''):
    print indent, n.Name
    for c in n.Children:
        outputNode(c, indent + '--')
		
if __name__ == '__main__':
    outputNode(getRootNode())

This code was inspired from the maxscript documentation.
