<node3d>.getCompositeAlpha(  
node = ''  
op = viz.OP_DEFAULT  
)  
node = ''
Name of subnode
op = viz.OP_DEFAULT
Can be viz.OP_DEFAULT to use the nodes default op mode or a combination of the following values:

Op modes

viz.OP_TRAVERSE

When performing an operation on a node, traverse the entire subgraph and process all subnodes as well. This is the default value.

When performing an operation on the node, start at the root transform of the node, instead of the model. Processing the root will include all child Vizard nodes.
