Ahh awesome.
I did find a alternative earlier today but im not really sure is there some
sort of rule for when to use which one, is there a speed difference or is
it just personal preference....
what i did earlier was
sClassID = "{4C4F7500-51EF-11D0-854E-00A02417D029}"
selection = si.FindObjects( "", sClassID )
i also noticed that i get some unnecessary clutter when calling all
materials and i had to make a guardian to clean up the selection... Is
there a way to avoid this...
This is what i did, would it be considered correct.
matGuardianList = [
".filename",
".storage",
"exclude", #exclude material library
"Sources.Materials.DefaultLib.Scene_Material",
"__SHADERBALL_MATERIAL_LIBRARY__",
"light",
"TransientObjectContainer",
]
def matGuardian(x):
global matGuardianList
if any( i in str(x) for i in matGuardianList):
return True
for i in selection:
skipMat = matGuardian(i)
if skipMat == True:
pass
else:
#code
Sorry for bothering you guys with such trivial stuff, i am still learning
and i was curious at to my alternatives.
