So this is the code ( it is quite simple so I didn´t use paste bin, I hope
it is okey)
import maya.OpenMaya as OpenMaya
cmds.polyCube()
mSel = OpenMaya.MSelectionList(); mSel.add('pCube1')
mDagPath = OpenMaya.MDagPath()
mSel.getDagPath(0, mDagPath)
mDagPath.fullPathName()
that is what I learn in a cgcircuit course. they say that MObject or
MDagPath are handles that you need to use to access maya data. Okey. no
problem.
The thing that I am trying to understand in the code I posted is this:
I am creating an object mDagPath that is requiered as an argument -->
mSel.getDagPath(0, mDagPath)
by doing that, I can use that object method .fullPathName().
what I want to understand is what is happening there. what happens when you
pass an object as argument? why doing that allows you to use some methods
of that object.
in my mind it would be more intuitive something like :
import maya.OpenMaya as OpenMaya
cmds.polyCube()
mDagPath = OpenMaya.MDagPath()
mDagPath.fullPathName('pCube1')
does my question make any sence?
thnks
