Query bump map texture by code

[lala_ghost]

How do I query the file node which is connected to my shader? Getting the name into a variable would be good. Prefer python but mel is okay to :) See screenshot.

Assuming you have a list of your shaders you can loop over it and get all connected nodes with the list connections command. Filter the results to get the nodes connected to the bumpslot and store the end result in a list.

List only incoming connections from Mymaterials.bump:

cmds.listConnections( 'Mymaterials.bump', d=False, s=True )

Thanks bart-janssen! If you select your shader, run this code:

`import maya.cmds as cmds

sel = cmds.ls(sl=True) print sel[0] bump = cmds.listConnections(sel[0], type = 'bump2d')

textures = cmds.listConnections(sel[0], type = 'file')

for x in bump: [4spaces]cmds.getAttr(x + '.bumpValue') [4spaces]bumpTexture = cmds.listConnections(x, type = 'file') [4spaces]print cmds.getAttr(bumpTexture[0] + '.fileTextureName')

for x in textures: [4spaces]print cmds.getAttr(x + '.fileTextureName')`

This gives you all connected textures to your selected shader.
