I think the best way to write this script is to select the fold edges on the mesh. I can query the centerpoint of the edge for joint position. but how would I get the angle of rotation based of that selected edge?
here is a math diagram showing a basic setup. I think it is ok to only select one edge and then have maya automatically determine the direction of joint orientation based on the other vertex/edge in the polygon? but this is asking a lot but would make it more user friendly because then I only have to select one edge for each joint. I'm guessing the best way to do this in maya would be to find the end points of selected line (the vertex) and then calculate the X and Z rotation axis. Then the Y axis would be the opposite polygon edge. I need help figuring out how to get the vertex information from an edge selection list. and how to find the opposite polygon edge. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group.
