Guid filters ?

[dlanier]

Hi,

In the XSI wiki it is said :

Here's a list of common object types in XSI and their corresponding interface IDs:
Type Interface ID

Any 3DObject {6B579D20-3DC5-11D0-9449-00AA006D3165}
Null {7DD91AA4-89D8-11D0-A75C-00AA00BB6238}
Camera {1152E9B0-545E-11D0-8466-00A024C7919C}
Light {E9F25E60-520D-11d0-8298-00A0243E366B}

Where can we find these guids, are they all written somewhere or is that accessible by script ?

As I would like to filter shaders only in a shader spdl file, where can I find the shader class guid ?

Thank you.

The id's are used inside XSI's scene definition, mental ray doesn't use it in any explicit way, if you need to read it inside custom shaders code maybe you can pass it through user data.

Take a look on the XSI sdk documentation, maybe you can find something valuable.

Thanks, actually, these guids can be seen in the SDK explorer view inthe advanced tab.
