node.asCode() Paint Stokes

[Joey Kowalewicz]

I am making a cross user copy/paste function using node.asCode(). My script works as is except that it will not retain paint node user information. Has anyone come across this issue or have an idea how to get around it? Thanks!

as code doesn't save geometry delta of the nodes with internal cache

much more robust workflow would be using

hou.Node.saveItemsToFile() or hou.Node.saveChildrenToFile()

and

hou.Node.loadItemsFromFile() or hou.Node.loadChildrenFromFile()

 

which will store them as cpio files the same way as houdini's copy/paste system works
