Templated nodes was a flag i enabled as an example that produced the nodes
I'm looking for.
I have an uber surface shader with a lot of inputs on it. The system is set
up so that there is only one surface shader allowed in the scene. Its not a
maya shader but a 3delight attribute shader....uber_surface 1/2/3/4 and
corresponding geoAttrib 1/2/3/4.... This shader is created through a pyqt
gui and linked to controls on that gui. With the callback method I can
correctly link the names with the shader.
However, if I close the gui or close maya I lose the correct names of
uber_surface and geoAttrib unless I write out a file. This could be
problematic. Im looking to avoid doing that and "find" the right shader.
I tried your example and it wouldnt return what I wanted. For example,
looking for the uber_surface.diffuse (diffuse intensity) I did and got back
only maya lambert1.
import maya.cmds as cmds
nodes = cmds.ls("*.diffuse", o=1) ######or []
for i in nodes:
print i
