Hello, animator here. I really can't figure out this problem for several weeks so hopefully someone can help me.
I am trying to get a worldMatrix of a controller at different frames WITHOUT moving in the timeline. I am using getAttr() with the time argument but it gives me wrong result on some specific controllers. I am not good enough in rigging to understand what is so specific about these controllers. Here is my code where I compare the matrices translations of a single selection, obtained by different method. xform(ws = True) that gives me always the correct result. And Funny enough, getAttr() without the time argument give me the correct result as well. Why on earth just adding the time argument make the result all wrong? import maya.cmds as mc import random #Get selection ctrl = mc.ls(sl=True)[0] #Get a random frame frameNr = random.randint(1,100) #Set the current time to test xform mc.currentTime(frameNr) print ('Frame: %s'%mc.currentTime(q=True)) #Get the matrix with getAttr with the Time argument - bad result getAttr_matrix_time = mc.getAttr('%s.worldMatrix[0]'%ctrl, time = frameNr) print (getAttr_matrix_time[12],getAttr_matrix_time[13],getAttr_matrix_time[14], ' -> getAttr(time) ') #Get the matrix with getAttr without the time argument - good result getAttr_matrix = mc.getAttr('%s.worldMatrix[0]'%ctrl) print (getAttr_matrix[12],getAttr_matrix[13],getAttr_matrix[14], ' -> getAttr() ') #Get the matrix with xform - good result xform_mat = mc.xform(ctrl , matrix = True, q = True, ws = True) print (xform_mat[12],xform_mat[13],xform_mat[14], ' -> xform() ') My bug comes on this rig free rig for example: https://agora.community/content/bulbasaur On the controller "C_big_vine_mid_ctrl". -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group.
