For me getChildren() will only return the shapeNode and not the subMeshes. To
clarify, I want to get to the face sets of the sub meshes that you would get if
you were to run polySeparate(). You can also see that Maya is aware by double
clicking a face of a sub mesh (it selects the entire sub mesh).
The following code gets me the sub mesh face set, but I was wondering if there
is a more efficient way:
import pymel.core
from pymel.all import mel
def getSubMeshFaceSet(face):
numSel = 1
totalSel = 0
oSel = pymel.core.general.selected()
pymel.core.general.select(face, r=1)
while(numSel != totalSel):
numSel = len(pymel.core.general.ls(sl=True, flatten=True))
mel.PolySelectTraverse(1)
totalSel = len(pymel.core.general.ls(sl=True, flatten=True))
faces = pymel.core.general.ls(sl=True, flatten=True)
if oSel:
pymel.core.general.select(oSel, r=1)
else:
pymel.core.general.select(cl=1)
return faces
Thanks,
