Hey everybody,
I'm starting to work on some tools that will operate on selected component
islands. But once again, im banging my head on the keyboard trying to
understand how maya wants me to think. This stuff is so easy in XSI ;)
anyways, I'm passing in a component selection and returning the connected verts
for each selected island. I'm using Pymel (i know what your gonna say), but I
can't really figure out a good way to get the selected islands without having
to do a ton of looping.
so far I'm just passing in the selection list, which kinda represents the
selected islands, but not really. I guess it depends on how you selected, and
in what order.
so errr, uhh what's the best way to do this? and I definitely wouldn't mind
some speed suggestions on my code so far, by someone who's been through this.
Aside from not using pymel ;)
==============
import pymel.core as pm
from itertools import chain
# list of component selections
selection = pm.selected()
#loop through each item of the list (selection islands)
for component in selection:
print "========================================"
print "Component ID/'s is {0}".format(component)
#make a list of connected verts
connectedVerts = [ island.connectedVertices() for island in component ]
#print it pretty
for item in set( chain(*connectedVerts) ):
print item
=============
Thanks!
Kev
