hi folks,
I noticed something I never saw before, so I'd like to know if I'm missing
something :
in a nutshell, I got different results when I connect the outCurve datas from a
node to a motionPath, and when I pass the same connection through a nurbsCurve
before connecting it to a motionPath.
I'm sure an example would be much self-explanatory, so you can run this snippet
to see what I mean
sks = [cmds.createNode('joint', ss=1) for _ in xrange(2)]
nurbs = cmds.nurbsPlane(ch=0, ax=[0,1,0], w=2, lr=4)[0]
crv = cmds.duplicateCurve(nurbs + '.u[0.5]', ch=1)[0]
curveIso = cmds.listConnections(crv + '.create', s=1, d=0)[0]
cmds.setKeyframe(sks[-1], v=-4, at='tz')
cmds.currentTime(10)
cmds.setKeyframe(sks[-1], v=-14, at='tz')
cmds.skinCluster(nurbs, sks, tsb=1)
# - first setup
mp = cmds.createNode('motionPath')
cmds.connectAttr(curveIso + '.outputCurve', mp + '.geometryPath')
cmds.setAttr(mp + '.uValue', .2)
loc = cmds.spaceLocator()[0]
cmds.connectAttr(mp + '.allCoordinates', loc + '.t')
cmds.setAttr(mp + '.fractionMode', True)
# - second setup
mp = cmds.createNode('motionPath')
cmds.connectAttr(crv + '.ws', mp + '.geometryPath')
cmds.setAttr(mp + '.uValue', .2)
loc = cmds.spaceLocator()[0]
cmds.connectAttr(mp + '.allCoordinates', loc + '.t')
cmds.setAttr(mp + '.fractionMode', True)
As you can see if you scroll the timeline, the 2 locators have a different
behavior. However, the 2 setups are the same, except for a nurbsCurve (that I'd
like to bypass)
So I suspect the nurbsCurve does another operation, but I don't know which one
exactly and why. Any explanation about that ?
cheers
