I'm having trouble figuring how this is a trouble. What's the context? Do you have thousands of nodes?

[Follyx]

well, not thousands of nodes but a huge bunch. And there is one animated parameter wich I dont find. So how would you manage that?

[kleer001]

Whoa yea, that's some big detective work necessary. First, do you know if it's an animated channel or an expression ? That would help you narrow it down.

First thing I would do is try to track down the author of the hip file or element that you're importing and ask them. If that didn't work I would open the hip file in a text editor and try to find the keys (probably your best bet). If none of that was productive I would use my last resort and write a python script to go through all the nodes in the scene and print out those that had channels that were animated.

[Follyx]

ok, thank you. Are you able to write such a python script mate?

nodes = hou.root().recursiveGlob('*')
for n in nodes:
	for p in n.parms():
		if p.isTimeDependent():
			print n.name() + " : " + p.name()[/CODE]

Hi Peon,

ist this just for keyframed animations or also for expression ones?

And in second case: is there a chance to figure out the expression driven animations?

When I have a question like that, I usualy just create a very simple scene and play around a bit. It helps me understand what is going on.
