Nice job Ahmidou !
Looks pretty straight forward but I wasn't able to make it work yet. :D
I got an error on the phi distribution on Sphere... I might be doing
something wrong.
I'm using XSI 2013, could that be it ?
Here is what I've done
# python
xsi = Application
# Your path here !
compoundPath =
"\\\\source\\source\\dev\\passerin\\blurdev\\workgroups\\xsi_blurdev\\data\\Compounds"
xsi.CreatePrim("Sphere", "MeshSurface", "", "")
xsi.SetValue("sphere.polymsh.geom.subdivu", 24, "")
xsi.SetValue("sphere.polymsh.geom.subdivv", 24, "")
xsi.FreezeObj("", "", "")
xsi.CreatePrim("Cube", "MeshSurface", "", "")
xsi.SetValue("cube.cube.length", 9, "")
xsi.ApplyTopoOp("TriangulatePolygons", "cube", "siUnspecified",
"siPersistentOperation", "")
xsi.FreezeObj("", "", "")
xsi.SelectObj("sphere", "", True)
xsi.ApplyOp("ICETree", "sphere", "siNode", "", "", 0)
xsi.AddICECompoundNode(compoundPath+"\\initPMVC.xsicompound",
"sphere.polymsh.ICETree")
xsi.ConnectICENodes("sphere.polymsh.ICETree.port1",
"sphere.polymsh.ICETree.initPMVC.Execute")
xsi.SelectObj("cube", "", "")
xsi.AddICENode("GetDataNode", "sphere.polymsh.ICETree")
xsi.SetValue("sphere.polymsh.ICETree.SceneReferenceNode.reference", "cube",
"")
xsi.ConnectICENodes("sphere.polymsh.ICETree.initPMVC.cage",
"sphere.polymsh.ICETree.SceneReferenceNode.outname")
xsi.SelectObj("sphere", "", True)
xsi.ApplyOp("ICETree", "sphere", "siNode", "", "", 0)
xsi.MoveOperatorAfter("sphere.polymsh", "sphere.polymsh.ICETree1",
"sphere.polymsh.shapemarker")
xsi.AddICECompoundNode(compoundPath+"\\PMVC.xsicompound",
"sphere.polymsh.ICETree1")
xsi.ConnectICENodes("sphere.polymsh.ICETree1.port1",
"sphere.polymsh.ICETree1.PMVC.Execute")
xsi.SelectObj("cube", "", "")
xsi.AddICENode("GetDataNode", "sphere.polymsh.ICETree1")
xsi.SetValue("sphere.polymsh.ICETree1.SceneReferenceNode.reference",
"cube", "")
xsi.ConnectICENodes("sphere.polymsh.ICETree1.PMVC.cage",
"sphere.polymsh.ICETree1.SceneReferenceNode.outname")
