Which nodes can be created through the Scripting API?

Question

Hi,For example :graph.newNode("sbs::compositing::uniform")Creates a new uniform node in my Substance Designer graph, great. Besides uniform, which other ones can be created this way? I've been trying to find a function that returns the complete list of nodes. The closest one so far seems to be :node.getDefinition().getLabel())This returns Uniform Color And 2nd question, is it possible to spawn a graph from a sbrar imported resource?Thanks!

Hello @Bjorn_AltaVR,

Thanks for the question.

All the Atomic Nodes can be created from the way you mentionned upthere. You'll find the entire list under
Help > Scripting Documentation > Modules definition > sbs::compositing

For instance nodes, this will require to locate and open the package file, find the desired graph, create a node and close the package:

import sd

# from sd.api import sdproperty

app = sd.getContext().getSDApplication()

# Get managers

ui_mgr = app.getQtForPythonUIMgr()

pkg_mgr = app.getPackageMgr()

# Get current graph

graph = ui_mgr.getCurrentGraph()

# Load target package

my_package = pkg_mgr.loadUserPackage("D:/OneDrive - Adobe/test_files/sbsar/test/tst-islands.sbsar")

print(my_package.getFilePath())

# Find target graph resource in target package

for item in my_package.getChildrenResources(isRecursive=True😞

	if item.getIdentifier() == "test_islands":

	 tgt_resource = item

# Create nodes

my_levels_node = graph.newNode("sbs::compositing::levels")

my_instance_node = graph.newInstanceNode(tgt_resource)

# Close target package

pkg_mgr.unloadUserPackage(my_package)

Same thing goes for .SBSAR
