[Maya-Python] Re: URGENT : Merge with API (C++ and / or Python)

2017-04-13 Thread Cedric Bazillou 
Im not sure what is your problem?
Sure learning the API takes time ( it can be worse: try to look at 3dsmax 
SDK which is really low level, with parts missing or unexposed...)

Basically your answer would be append components:
rip from your mesh array :

   - points /
   -  face index / 
   - normals / or uv /
   
append them into one bigger array ( just be sure to add on the index array 
an offset / stride )
and later create with MFNMesh.create

Something pretty trivial to do, you just need more experience?

Re: [Maya-Python] what is the displayPoints node for?

2017-04-13 Thread Ian Waters 
It’s a utility draw node used to display the Type pivot points if you turn that 
option on (in the animation tab).

Best,
Ian
