Sometimes it's helpful to understand what you are trying to do and what you are hoping to achieve along with the specific question, that can open up other solutions.
By the looks of it you're trying to build up a list of animated nodes and a way to query their values over time. While I don't know off the top of my head how I would go about evaluating the curves to get that composited result I would either try and pass the frame information via a context to the plug itself to capture the end result via MPlug.asDouble(MDGContext context) from the attribute directly. However if you're not after any random plug and you're okay with changing the time (even just temporarily) you can query the rotation from the transform in a simpler way: https://gist.github.com/shrtcww/94762de793493830d53ad363f492f217 Ian On Tue, Dec 3, 2019 at 10:00 AM kiteh <kiteh.0...@gmail.com> wrote: > any insights on this, anyone? >> >> -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to python_inside_maya+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/python_inside_maya/26ed79a2-3ee2-4cf5-8d68-95796bec338e%40googlegroups.com > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/python_inside_maya/26ed79a2-3ee2-4cf5-8d68-95796bec338e%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group.
