Hey all,

I was wondering if there is a way to get all objects? I need python to know the total amount of objects in a scene. Regardless of wether they are in a hierarchy or not. Is there a way to do that?

Greets!

Yes, there is.
There are a lot of references for walking the hierarchy in the forum, the C++ documentation and I think also in the Python documentation.
The easiest way to travel through the hierarchy is using a recursive function (half recursive, half iterative actually). You can also iterate through the whole hierarchy without doing a recursive function-call.

Hi Hans,

This is a great article with source code showing how to traverse all the objects in a document:

This is what I needed too.  Thank you PerAnders!  Actually if I might, I am just getting started and the link above is of enormous help.  For example, "How do I ???"  would be a great thread or set of threads to get us newbies up and running.  I figured out how to generate, assign, and change values of a texture before I actually found this about selecting objects in the OM.  I am traversing the learning curve one sample at a time... 😉
