hello, i got this concept working fine with python cmds. I am trying to see if i can get it working with api. So far with the thanks to Justin Israel, i got my code to this stage:
http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/23630582/ basically imagine there are 3 meshes: 1) a female neutral mesh named "target" 2) a male neutral mesh named "neutral" 3) the same male mesh but in a muscle man pose named "expression" all meshes have identical topology all i want to achieve is to first find the relative difference between the male neutral mesh verts and the male muscle man mesh verts. And then to apply this difference on top of the female neutral mesh. I got this working fine with cmds. So the i would find the difference values for each vert and store in a list. I would then apply this difference on top of each corresponding female mesh vert with the move commmand. It produced the same pose but a female version. However in my api code i am using the setPoints() method which i think is taking the difference but making the transforms absolute. So the female neutral mesh becomes identical to the male muscle man mesh, rather than it generating a female version of the muscle man pose. can anyone show me where im going wrong here. I know it can be done with a small tweak im sure. sorry for long post, Sam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group.
