switch takes and render

[osmeldu]

Hello. Im trying to run inside houdini a python script to switch takes and render after every take. It works but it only render the last take:

 

takes_list = hou.takes.takes()
for take in takes_list:
    #
    if "Main" in take.name():
        continue
    else:
        print("setting to take: {}".format(take))
        hou.takes.setCurrentTake(take)
        print(hou.takes.currentTake())
        rnode = hou.node("/out/Redshift_ROP_CHAR")
        rnode.render()

what`s the problem here? thank you.

Hi Osmeldu,
unfortunately I cant help you with the script, but have you considered using the Wedge ROP? Wedge Method, By Take. Is it sufficient for your actual needs? 

Otherwise, if you really need it to be scripted, then maybe you have to use hdefereval.executeDeferred()?

I have only blurred knowledge about the executeDeferred(), and I would also be thankful if anyone could shed some light on that method.

Usually, ROPs in Houdini have a take parameter, see if Redshift ROP has one and set your take on the ROP in your for loop rather then setting it globally in the scene.

Cheers.
