Control (UI) Default Value Function
excudeFromFarmOutputGeneration disabled When enabled, this node does not appear in any
generated farm file (however, the node is still
renderable if called directly).
Enabling this control hides the
forceFarmOutputGeneration control.
farmSettings > excudeFromFarmOutputGeneration: disabled
forceFarmOutputGeneration disabled When enabled, this node always appears in generated
farm files (regardless of whether it has any valid
outputs).
Note: If excludeFromFarmOutputGeneration is
also enabled, the node does not appear in the
generated farm file
(excludeFromFarmOutputGeneration overrides
forceFarmOutputGeneration).
farmSettings > setActiveFrameRange: enabled > activeFrameRange
start 1 Sets the first frame in the active frame range when
setActiveFrameRange is enabled.
end 1 Sets the last frame in the active frame range when
setActiveFrameRange is enabled.
Importomatic
The Importomatic is a super tool node with a custom interface to load and manage different geometry types,
including assembly component, sprib, and Houdini geo. Other geometry or asset types can be added using a custom
plug-in.
• Geometry or asset types may be grouped by adding additional outputs, then middle-dragging loaded geometry or
assets under the new output.
• Additional outputs may be renamed by selecting the additional output in the Name column, then editing the
output name in the parameter field. The default output can not be reordered or renamed.
• The order in which the geometry appears in the GUI determines the merge order, and its listing place in the Scene
Graph.
