ok so on this....I have my UV coord, there is no function for converting that to a face and the examples im finding ONLY cover using a map ID not a random UV position, additionally, the code example actually doesnt even work
import maya.cmds as cmds import maya.OpenMaya as OpenMaya list = OpenMaya.MSelectionList() sphereName = "pSphereShape1" planeName = "pPlaneShape1" list.add(sphereName) list.add(planeName) sphereObj = OpenMaya.MObject() planeObj = OpenMaya.MObject() list.getDependNode(0, sphereObj) list.getDependNode(1, planeObj) sphereMesh = OpenMaya.MFnMesh(sphereObj) # errors out here with # RuntimeError: (kInvalidParameter): Object is incompatible with this method # planeMesh = OpenMaya.MFnMesh(planeObj) On Thu, Jun 17, 2021 at 2:59 PM Todd Widup <todd.wi...@gmail.com> wrote: > that would work :) > wasnt thinking about getting faces > > > On Thu, Jun 17, 2021 at 2:46 PM vince touache <fruityfr...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> you can get the polygon (as in "the face") at a given u and v, and from >> the polygon, you query the vertices.
