Have you read up on the MFloatPoint in the docs? It shouldn't be too
confusing to use.
http://help.autodesk.com/view/MAYAUL/2016/ENU/?guid=__cpp_ref_class_m_float_point_html
Assuming your verts are normal tuples and you want to convert them to
MFloatPoint,
import maya.OpenMaya as om
def findDiff(scan1_verts, scan2_verts):
diff_list = om.MFloatPointArray()
for v1, v2 in zip(scan2_verts, scan1_verts):
p1 = om.MFloatPoint(*v1)
p2 = om.MFloatPoint(*v2)
diff_list.append(om.MFloatPoint(p2 - p1))
return diff_list

hello i have some python code that subtracts corresponding coordinates from
two separate lists and then appends the result to a new list:
def findDiff(scan1_verts, scan2_verts):
diff_list=[]
for (v1,v2) in zip(scan2_verts,scan1_verts):
diff=(v1[0]-v2[0]),(v1[1]-v2[1]),(v1[2]-v2[2])
diff_list.append(diff)
return diff_list
what i want to know is if this can be done easily with the maya python API.
I later want to use setPoints to set the verts of a new piece of mesh with
this list. so for that reason i think they need to be OpenMaya.MFloatPoint
values or something.
sorry im so confused by how the API does things. If someone could show me
how to set it up i would really appreciate it.
thanks,
Sam
