aah yes! i didn't have it instanced in the scene yet. this is interesting
too, ICEAttributes property on a shader node?
from siutils import si
si = si() # win32com.client.Dispatch('XSI.Application')
from siutils import log # LogMessage
from siutils import disp # win32com.client.Dispatch
from siutils import C # win32com.client.constants
for shaderdef in si.ShaderDefinitions:
if shaderdef.Name == "Softimage.BA_particle_density3.1.0":
for shader in shaderdef.ShaderInstances:
for attr in shader.ICEAttributes:
log(attr.Name)
