Hi Paul,

The alembic reader has the concept of imported and selected nodes. For example, if an abc file has 10 nodes in total, you could choose to import only 5 of those, and these would be the only nodes that appear in your Scenegraph tab.

In your case, only the first item is being imported. To remedy this, you need to look at the python bindings for the node's scene_view knob (which controls the import/selection from the abc file). You need to do the following:

readGeo = nuke.createNode('ReadGeo2', 'file {alembicFile.abc}')
sceneView = readGeo['scene_view']

allItems = sceneView.getAllItems() # get a list of all nodes stored in the abc file sceneView.setImportedItems(allItems) # import all items into the ReadGeo node sceneView.setSelectedItems(allItems) # set everything to selected (i.e. visible)

Hope that helps!

Cheers,

Peter.

My first attempt to create a ReadGeo node looked like this:

n = nuke.createNode('ReadGeo2')

n['file'].setValue('alembicFile.abc')


However, when I set the file knob, I would get a popup dialog that would ask the user if they wanted to "Create all-in-one node" or "Create parents as separate nodes".


Wishing to avoid this pop-up dialog, I then tried:


nuke.createNode('ReadGeo2', 'file {alembicFile.abc}')


This would, indeed avoid the dialog... but it seems the dialog is essential, as the ReadGeo node would not show all the nodes contained in my alembic file (it would only show one of four objects in a hierarchical structure).


So... does anyone know what exactly this popup dialog is doing, or how to recreate it's effects without requiring user interaction?


Thanks,
 - Paul
