HEGoInputNode

Inherits: HEGoBaseInputNode < HEGoTransformableNamedNode < HEGoTransformableNode < HEGoBaseNode < HEGoTrackableNode < RefCounted

Creates Houdini input geometry from Godot mesh sources.

Description

Use this node to upload mesh topology and attributes from either a Mesh resource or a MeshInstance3D.

Instantiate first, then push geometry with one of the setter methods.

This node is typically connected into HEGoMergeNode or directly into an HDA input.

Methods

HEGoTask

instantiate()

HEGoTask

set_geo_from_mesh(mesh: Mesh, attributes: Array = [], force: bool = false)

HEGoTask

set_geo_from_mesh_instance_3d(mesh_instance_3d: MeshInstance3D, attributes: Array = [], force: bool = false)

Method Descriptions

HEGoTask instantiate() 🔗

Submits a task to create a Houdini input node and store its id in this wrapper.

If a valid node id already exists, the implementation attempts to reuse or replace that node according to HEGo input-node utility behavior.

After creation, this wrapper is registered with the active session manager.

HEGoTask set_geo_from_mesh(mesh: Mesh, attributes: Array = [], force: bool = false) 🔗

Submits a task to upload geometry from a Mesh into this Houdini input node.

Use attributes to pass optional custom attribute descriptors consumed by HEGo geometry input utilities.

The mesh is converted into HAPI-compatible topology and point data. Existing input geometry for this node is replaced.

Geometry content is hashed internally. If the mesh data and attributes are identical to the previous call the upload is skipped and a no-op task is returned, unless force is true.

HEGoTask set_geo_from_mesh_instance_3d(mesh_instance_3d: MeshInstance3D, attributes: Array = [], force: bool = false) 🔗

Submits a task to upload geometry from a MeshInstance3D into this Houdini input node.

Any transform or instance context used by HEGo input utilities is derived from the provided node.

Use this overload when you want to read from a scene node directly instead of a standalone mesh resource.

Geometry content and transform are hashed internally. If neither has changed since the previous call a no-op task is returned. If only the transform changed, only the transform is re-sent. Pass force as true to always perform the full upload.
