Getting partitions from passes

Getting partitions from passes

Hello,

Sorry for the resend, but didn't get any answer. Is there a way to get ALL the
partitions from the pass? So far my code can collect the backgroup partitions,
but not additional ones under a pass.


// Get all passes
var oPasses = EnumElements( "Passes.List" );

// Enumerate through passes
for( var oPassEnum = new Enumerator( oPasses ); !oPassEnum.atEnd(); oPassEnum
.moveNext() )
{
   // Get pass
   var oPass = getvalue( oPassEnum.item() );

   // Get pass elements, returns collection
   var oPassKids = EnumElements( oPass );

   // Enumerate through children to find partitions
   for( var oPassKidsEnum = new Enumerator( oPassKids ); !oPassKidsEnum.atEnd(
); oPassKidsEnum.moveNext() )
   {
       // Big problem: only the background partitions seem to be accessible.
There is no way to get other partitions.
       logmessage( oPassKidsEnum.item().fullname );
   }
}

When I run this, I get this, even though I have additional partitions:

//INFO : "Passes.Default_Pass.Partitions"
//INFO : "Passes.Default_Pass.Background_Objects_Partition"
//INFO : "Passes.Default_Pass.Background_Lights_Partition"
//INFO : "Passes.Default_Pass.RenderOptions"
//INFO : "Camera"
//INFO : "Passes.Default_Pass.EnvironmentShaderStack"
//INFO : "Passes.Default_Pass.OutputShaderStack"
//INFO : "Passes.Default_Pass.VolumeShaderStack"
//INFO : "Passes.Default_Pass.Name"



I'm wondering what the heck is that Partitions object. I've run some tests to
find what it is, and seems to be a parameter.

var oPartitions = dictionary.getobject( "Passes.Default_Pass.Partitions" );
logmessage( oPartitions.type );
logmessage( classname(oPartitions) );
logmessage( oPartitions.value );

Logs

//INFO : "Partitions"
//INFO : "Parameter"
//INFO : ""



Any suggestion to reliably get all partitions under a pass would be a godsend.

Thanks
Bernard
