Hi there,
I'm prototyping a new deformer in python, and i'm stuck with a super stupid problem. So essentially, i need to get the dagPath of an object, and to do that, i have only an outMesh plug connected to my deformer. I have something that looks like that : # this is what i get from my deformer oSrcMesh = dataBlock.inputValue(A.aSrcMesh).asMesh() # get the dagPath - test 1 xxx = OpenMaya.MDagPath() OpenMaya.MDagPath.getAPathTo(oSrcMesh, xxx) # get the dagPath - test 2 fnDag = OpenMaya.MFnDagNode(oSrcMesh) I won't go through everything i tried, but you get the idea ! I found NO way to get the dagPath of my mesh, starting from this oSrcMesh which is of type kMesh. I think that my oSrcMesh is not aware of its hierarchy. So what is the clean way of getting a MDagPath out of this oSrcMesh ? This stupid pure maya api problem took me more time than everything else in this deformer, which is kind of a shame, so any help would be more than appreciated !
