Setting World Display Options in Python

[Annon]

Hey everyone,

I'm down to the very last bit of a camera OTL I'm making and I want to set the:

DisplayOptions>Background>ImageSource>COP>COP -- using python.

Really all I want is to be able to add an image sequence to the camera node and view it with the "DisplayBackground" button without having to jump into the display options and add it a second time (don't understand why it's like that really). If there's a different way then do tell

I've got a COP_NET in my camera OTL that picks up the image file and I want to reference that in DisplayOptions.

Thanks for any help, I'm a bit stuck on this one.

Take a look at the last couple functions of this module. It's not possible using purely Python but you can wrap the hscript pretty simply and get the desired result.

Edit: My bad. There seems to be an issue with the function signatures. For the last two functions, it looks like it is expecting an instance of hou.SceneViewer but then underneath it wants a kwargs dictionary. If you have a specific viewer then you can create a dictionary out of it and pass it along {'pane': viewer} or pass an empty dict and it will look for the primary displayed one. I'll upload a new version in a little bit.

Thanks for pointing me too that, it looks interesting!

I found a similar post around here that I didn't see in previous searches. It did what I wanted! OTL COMPLETE>

Thanks

hou.hscript('opproperty /obj/cam1 viewport viewport_roto')
