Description
An animation project will usually contain all sorts of objects, such as characters, props, lights, cameras, particle systems, etc. The RScene class is used to manage these objects in the scene. It provides many functions for users to find and access these objects. RScene is a static class that can be used directly without having to create an instance. This class provides functions for finding objects by name or type, deleting object, showing / hiding objects, getting and setting selected object, and so on.

Member Functions
ClearSelectObjects ( )
Deselect everything in the scene.
RLPy.RScene.ClearSelectObjects()
FindObject ( eType, strName )
Searches for an object by name and type. Returns the first object that fulfills the search criteria.
Parameters
- eType [IN] Object type - RLPy.EObjectType
- RLPy.EObjectType_Object
- RLPy.EObjectType_Avatar
- RLPy.EObjectType_Prop
- RLPy.EObjectType_Camera
- RLPy.EObjectType_Particle
- RLPy.EObjectType_Light
- RLPy.EObjectType_SpotLight
- RLPy.EObjectType_PointLight
- RLPy.EObjectType_DirectionalLight
- strName [IN] Object name - string
Returns
- First object that fulfills the search criteria - RIObject
# find avatar
avatar = RLPy.RScene.FindObject( RLPy.EObjectType_Avatar, "avatar_name" )
print(type(avatar)) #RLPy.RIAvatar
# find prop
prop = RLPy.RScene.FindObject( RLPy.EObjectType_Prop, "prop_name" )
print(type(prop)) #RLPy.RIProp
# find camera
camera = RLPy.RScene.FindObject( RLPy.EObjectType_Camera, "camera_name" )
print(type(camera)) #RLPy.RICamera
# find particle
particle = RLPy.RScene.FindObject( RLPy.EObjectType_Particle, "particle_name" )
print(type(particle)) #RLPy.RIParticle
FindObjects ( args )
Searches for all objects that match by name and type.
See Also: FindObject()
Parameters
- eType [IN] Object type - RLPy.EObjectType

- RLPy.EObjectType_PointLight
- RLPy.EObjectType_DirectionalLight
- strName [IN] Object name - string
Returns
- All objects that fullfill the search criteria - RIObject list
props = RLPy.RScene.FindObjects( RLPy.EObjectType_Prop, "prop_name" )
GetAvatars ( eAvatarType )
Get all the characters in the scene. The search results can be filtered by avatar type.
See Also: FindObject, FindObjects()
Parameters
- eAvatarType [IN] Character type - RLPy.EAvatarType
- RLPy.EAvatarType_Standard
- RLPy.EAvatarType_NonStandard
- RLPy.EAvatarType_NonHuman

- RLPy.EAvatarType_All
Returns
- All avatars that fulfill the search criteria - RIAvatar list
# Find standard avatars
avatars = RLPy.RScene.GetAvatars( RLPy.EAvatarType_Standard )
# Find avatars and props
result = RLPy.RScene.FindObjects( RLPy.EObjectType_Avatar | RLPy.EObjectType_Prop, "same_name" )
print(len(result))
for i in range(len(result)):
print(type(result[i])) #RLPy.RIAvatar or IC_Python_API:RLPy_RIProp|RIProp
result = RLPy.RScene.FindObjects( RLPy.EObjectType_Avatar | RLPy.EObjectType_Prop )
print(len(result)) # All avatars and props
GetProps ()
Get all the props in the scene.
See Also: FindObject, FindObjects
Returns
- All props - RIObject list
props = RLPy.RScene.GetProps()
GetSelectedObjects ()
Get all the selected object in the scene. If no objects are selected then return an empty list.
See Also: SelectObject, SelectObjects, ClearSelectObjects
Returns
- All selected objects - RIObject list
# get selected objects
selection_list = RLPy.RScene.GetSelectedObjects()
print(selection_list) #print selected objects
