View Full Version : Querying render layer material overrides

Hi everyone,

I'm writing some MEL code to sync up optimized versions of renderable scenes, and I need to query the render layers to find out whether or not each of them has an overall material override, and if so, with what material. The editRenderLayerAdjustment command only returns changes to objects and such, not material overrides to the overall layer. Do any of you know how to retrieve that info?

Thanks in advance for any help!

you could use the following command, and check if it returns empty or not...

listConnections myLayer.shadingGroupOverride

Thanks for the input. I ended up using connectionInfo as that was extra easy, but your suggestion helped to point me in the right direction.
