Hi all.
I am writing a tool to construct a techAnim working scene for my tech
artists. I want to simply create some groups in the shape editor and place
new blendshapes under these. I also want to be able to rename a selected
target or targets in the shape editor via a script.
There is nothing exposed to the user to allow one to script the grouping of
one or more blendshapes in the shape editor. I can not assume that there
are no preexisting blendshapes or groups already created.
mc.getAttr('shapeEditorManager.blendShapeDirectory', mi=True) gives
logical indices.. If there are spaces between the indices due to groups and
blendshapes being deleted then this is useless. If I create a group
mc.ShapeEditorNewGroup() then this doesnt necessarily add to the end of
this array of indices so I cant simply assume its the last in the index.
This command cant take in a name to give to the group, and worse doesnt
return anything at all to identify the index used. If it did I could move
on with this. I cant yet understand the pattern in the choice of index
Maya uses. I have taken a brief look at the Api but nothing yet seems
obvious.
Anyone out there with ideas? Simple question how can I return selected
items in the shape editor in order to rename them or group them?
Thanks
Gerard.
