Maya api 2.0 Access

The framework makes it easy to access maya.api.OpenMaya objects directly from Nod objects.

Note

As outlined in the Introduction section bridging access to Maya api 2.0 is a part of the Stage 2 development ongoing process.

selectionList

node.selectionList()

dagPath

node.dagPath

matrix

This will return maya.api.OpenMaya.MMatrix object

node.matrix()

node.matrix(exclusive=True)

node.matrix(inverse=True)

MFn

Additionally all node types will have a quick access to the default MFn function set directly from the Nod object.

mesh.fn()
blendShape.fn()

This is of course intuitvely chainable

mesh.fn().closestIntersection()

dependNode

Get maya.api.OpenMaya.MObject for a deformer

blendShape.dependNode()
