Hi Todd,
You should rather use <your_mesh_object>.to_mesh() [1], use that temp
mesh to get what you want, and the remove() it from data.meshes.
Obviously, if you call your func several time at the same frame, cache
the temp mesh, no need to re-create it every time.
Incidentally, you never remove your temp empty object in your code,
which is bad, since you keep adding one on every call... ;)
Cheers,
Bastien

Hi everyone,
Quick question. I've put together a little function to find the
matrix_world Z location of a point on a displaced mesh (plane with
ocean mod) given the X and Y coordinates. I'm using an empty with a
shrinkwrap modifier to achieve this.
I was wondering if there is a faster or more direct way in python to
do this.
Here's what I have so far.
*****************************************
import bpy
def getZLocation(xLoc, yLoc, targetMeshName):
o = bpy.ops.object
d = bpy.data.objects
targetMesh = d[targetMeshName]
o.add(type='EMPTY', location=(xLoc, yLoc, 0))
empOb = bpy.context.active_object
empOb.name = 'empLocate'
o.constraint_add(type='SHRINKWRAP')
empOb.constraints['Shrinkwrap'].shrinkwrap_type='NEAREST_SURFACE'
empOb.constraints['Shrinkwrap'].target = targetMesh
o.select_all(action='DESELECT')
return empOb.matrix_world.to_translation()[2]
print(getZLocation(xLoc=2.2, yLoc=4.1, targetMeshName='Ocean'))
*****************************************
Also, it seems to take a few seconds to actually compute this value,
so something faster would also be great.
Thanks,
