Thanks, Sergey. Already found them this morning and am still dissecting them.

I integrated my own RIB exporter into Blender and learned about Blender's Python API through that experience. Now, I want to create a *feature complete* node set for the creation and integration of Ri Shaders in accordance with the still beta RMan Server 19 (lots and lots have changed in the spec).

From that experience - which is no doubt going to take a good deal of effort - I hope to have acquired the chops in order to tackle the 'node-ification' of Blender Objects and Data. This would include constraints, modifiers, math nodes, geometry data, transform data, etc. all exposed in nodes. My reasons are primarily for rigging, as well as node-based procedural particles and simulations, but the system *should* be open enough for anyone to create custom nodes for any data structure available in bpy and manipulate it.

No doubt, I'm going to hit a few brick walls. Let me know if you have any warnings I should be aware of at this time. And pray for me and my sanity ;)

Hi,

Not sure about the docs, but there's quite verbose template for the PyNodes, go to Text Editor space, Templates -> Python -> Custom Nodes.

    Hi --

    I'm very interested in developing PyNodes for two projects, but
    have no
    idea where to learn definitively on how to programme them. There
    doesn't appear to be clear docs on this subject despite exhaustive web
    searches.  A couple of eluding and very incomplete videos were all I
    could find.  I'm integrating RenderMan directly into Blender and
    am also
    designing node based systems for rigging.  Any help would be greatly
    appreciated.  I just need a good start and a place to ask questions.


    Thanks,


    Haig Petrus
