Hi Micheal,
I was just having a read over what the method does, and trying it out on a few
different type of objects.
on an group, it just seems get the world matrix and apply it to the groups
pivot.
on geo, it offsets all the points by the world position of that object and then
sets the pivot to be the world position, making it look as if the object has
stayed in the same place, and has the same pivot point, but in actual fact the
pivot point has been moved to match the previous transform and the points have
been moved.
It also does this resursivley, for any object that is a child of the object you
are performing the identity of.
This is very doable in OM or OM2, you will have to update the points using
mesh = om2.MFnMesh('shape object here')
# gets all the points in the mesh
points = mesh.getPoints()
# loop over every point and perform your math on the point here
# sets the points of the mesh
mesh.setPoints('your point array')
Updating a pivot of an object:
trans = om2.MFnTransform()
trans.setRotatePivot()
I hope that helps,
Cheers Si
