Hey Alok, thanks for you feedback, I think you're mistaken in the interpretation of the code layout I chose tho. This is the purpose of the DOD paradigm to think about how the data should be input and how it should be treated. This would be too pretentious from me to say it has been used here, but

Hey all, I have an ice animation with grids Instanced to particles (Instanced groups) the is a randomize value node plugged into the "id" port. There are 5 different grids in the group, all with different timings of the same texture offset in time thru the image node. The image clips (textures

Re: get all the expressions driven by a parameter

Maybe globally store the expressions with their params in a hash (dictionary in Python) and then do the reverse look up. Will not run faster but will save you time for each call to getExpressionsDrivenByParameter() In this case: PARAM_EXPR_DICT = {} for expr in Application.FindObjects(None, "

RE: get all the expressions driven by a parameter

Although minor, you could move exp.OutputPorts.Count a little earlier in your code as it's testing the same thing for each input port on the operator.You should only have to test that once per expression, like this: def getExpressionsDrivenByParameter( param ): allExpressions = xsi.Fin
