Operator Reference
get_scene_engine_param (Operator)
get_scene_engine_param — Read a parameter from a running Scene Engine instance.
Signature
get_scene_engine_param( : : SceneEngine, GenParamName : GenParamValue)
Description
The operator get_scene_engine_param returns the parameter values
of GenParamName for the running Scene Engine instance SceneEngine
in GenParamValue.
The following parameter names are supported:
-
'version': Returns a string that contains the version number of the Scene Engine.
-
'devices': Returns a tuple containing the available rendering devices.
-
'selected_device': The device currently selected for data generation. See
set_scene_engine_param, 'select_device_idx' for how to change the selected device. -
'assets': Returns a dictionary that contains information about the available assets. This includes the asset base directory (see
set_scene_engine_paramfor how to change this directory), the available tags and categories, as well as information about the detected asset providers. -
'material_presets': Returns a dictionary that contains the pre-set material properties. In each entry of the dictionary, the key corresponds to the name of the preset (such as 'metal'), and the value contains the rendering properties to obtain a surface that mimics this material. This allows setting the surface / material properties of an object (see
run_scene_engine).
Execution Information
- Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
- Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
- Processed without parallelization.
Parameters
SceneEngine (input_control) scene_engine → (handle)
Handle of the SceneEngine connection.
GenParamName (input_control) attribute.name(-array) → (string)
Names of parameters.
Default: []
Suggested values: 'version', 'devices', 'selected_device', 'assets', 'material_presets'
GenParamValue (output_control) attribute.value(-array) → (string / real / integer / handle)
Values of parameters.
Result
If the parameters are valid, the operator get_scene_engine_param
returns the value 2 (
H_MSG_TRUE)
. If necessary, an exception is raised.
