Recooking the complete tree...

[Christian S]

Hi,

 

Maybe it's in my face and I can't see it but... I'd like to know how to recook the whole tree. You know, just like when you load a scene.

 

The goal is to profile the graph using Houdini's Performance Monitor but there is always part of the graph no getting modified so I can't calculate the cost of everything...

 

Thx!

help opcook:

 

opcook [-F] [-f <frame_start> <frame_end>] [-i <frame_inc>] [-v]

        <object>

like

opcook -F /obj/geo1/*

 

will force cook all SOPs inside geo1

 

 

or for Python:

hou.Node.cook()

like

hou.node("/obj/geo1/grid1").cook(force=True)

 

and to force update all nodes in an object, loop through them all forcing cooks.

 

nodes = (hou.node('/obj/geo1/grid1'), hou.node('/obj/geo1/point1'))

for node in nodes:

    node.cook(force=True)

Or you can always delete and undelete the object.

what if you seto all the nodes to unload? would that work as well?

A minor improvement on old school's post: (untested)

for node in hou.node("/").allSubChildren():
  node.cook(force=True)

Thanks to all. All great tricks that work
