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.
1 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_Light
- RLPy.EObjectType_SpotLight
- RLPy.EObjectType_PointLight
- RLPy.EObjectType_DirectionalLight
- strName [IN] Object name - string
Returns
- First object that fulfills the search criteria - RIObject
1 # find avatar
2 avatar = RLPy.RScene.FindObject( RLPy.EObjectType_Avatar, "avatar_name" )
3 print(type(avatar)) #RLPy.RIAvatar
4 # find prop
5 prop = RLPy.RScene.FindObject( RLPy.EObjectType_Prop, "prop_name" )
6 print(type(prop)) #RLPy.RIProp
7 # find camera
8 camera = RLPy.RScene.FindObject( RLPy.EObjectType_Camera, "camera_name" )
9 print(type(camera)) #RLPy.RICamera
10 # find particle
11 particle = RLPy.RScene.FindObject( RLPy.EObjectType_Particle, "particle_name" )
12 print(type(particle)) #RLPy.RIParticle
FindObjects ( args )
Searches for all objects that match by name and type.
