It works with all version of Houdini (Apprentice, Apprentice HD, escape, master or Indie.) Free for all usage ( comercial or not ).
To create a new take, just instance a new Take() object :
import PyTake2 as pt
# This will create a new take and add it to the take list
myTake = pt.Take('mytake')
#This will include the display flag of the node « /obj/grid/grid1 » to the take.
myTake.includeDisplayFlag('/obj/grid/grid1')
# You can also use a hou.Node() as parameter :
node = hou.node('/obj/sphere/sphere1')
myTake.includeDisplayFlag(node)
# To include all parms of a node to the take, use :
myTake.includeParms(node)
# To add only some parameters, use :
myTake.includeParms(node, parms_dict={'radx':None, 'rady':None, 'radz':None))
# To add only some parameters, and set node's parameters values use :
# This will set radx to 5, rady to 1 and radz to 2 in the take.
myTake.includeParms(node, parms_dict={'radx':5, 'rady':1, 'radz':2),set_parms_value=True)
#To exclude parms from the take, use :
myTake.includeParms(node, parms_dict={'radx':None, 'rady':None, 'radz':None},include=False)
# To copy a take
copy_take = myTake.copy()
# => this create a new take name_copy
# To remove a take :
myTake.remove()
