pymel.core.modeling.polySphericalProjection¶

polySphericalProjection(*args, **kwargs)¶

Projects a spherical map onto an object.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
caching / cch		bool
	Toggle caching for all attributes so that no recomputation is needed.
constructionHistory / ch		bool
	Turn the construction history on or off (where applicable). If construction history is on then the corresponding node will be inserted into the history chain for the mesh. If construction history is off then the operation will be performed directly on the object. Note:If the object already has construction history then this flag is ignored and the node will always be inserted into the history chain.
createNewMap / cm		bool
	This flag when set true will create a new map with a the name passed in, if the map does not already exist.
frozen / fzn		bool
imageCenter / ic		float, float
	This flag specifies the center point of the 2D model layout. C: Default is 0.5 0.5. Q: When queried, this flag returns a float[2].
imageCenterX / icx		float
	This flag specifies X for the center point of the 2D model layout. C: Default is 0.5. Q: When queried, this flag returns a float.
imageCenterY / icy		float
	This flag specifies Y for the center point of the 2D model layout. C: Default is 0.5. Q: When queried, this flag returns a float.
imageScale / imageScale		float, float
	This flag specifies the UV scale : Enlarges or reduces the 2D version of the model in U or V space relative to the 2D centerpoint. C: Default is 1.0 1.0. Q: When queried, this flag returns a float[2].
imageScaleU / isu		float
	This flag specifies the U scale : Enlarges or reduces the 2D version of the model in U space relative to the 2D centerpoint. C: Default is 1.0. Q: When queried, this flag returns a float.
imageScaleV / isv		float
	This flag specifies the V scale : Enlarges or reduces the 2D version of the model in V space relative to the 2D centerpoint. C: Default is 1.0. Q: When queried, this flag returns a float.
insertBeforeDeformers / ibd		bool
	This flag specifies if the projection node should be inserted before or after deformer nodes already applied to the shape. Inserting the projection after the deformer leads to texture swimming during animation and is most often undesirable. C: Default is on.
keepImageRatio / kir		bool
mapDirection / md		unicode
name / n		unicode
	Give a name to the resulting node.
nodeState / nds		int
	Defines how to evaluate the node. 0: Normal1: PassThrough2: Blocking3: Internally disabled. Will return to Normal state when enabled4: Internally disabled. Will return to PassThrough state when enabled5: Internally disabled. Will return to Blocking state when enabledFlag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
perInstance / pi		bool
projectionCenter / pc		float, float, float
	This flag specifies the origin point from which the map is projected. C: Default is 0.0 0.0 0.0. Q: When queried, this flag returns a float[3].
projectionCenterX / pcx		float
	This flag specifies X for the origin point from which the map is projected. C: Default is 0.0. Q: When queried, this flag returns a float.
projectionCenterY / pcy		float
	This flag specifies Y for the origin point from which the map is projected. C: Default is 0.0. Q: When queried, this flag returns a float.
projectionCenterZ / pcz		float
	This flag specifies Z for the origin point from which the map is projected. C: Default is 0.0. Q: When queried, this flag returns a float.
projectionHeight / ph		float
projectionHorizontalSweep / phs		float
projectionScale / ps		float, float
	This flag specifies the width and the height of the map relative to the 3D projection axis. C: Default is 180.0 90.0. Q: When queried, this flag returns a float[2].
projectionScaleU / psu		float
	This flag specifies the width of the map relative to the 3D projection axis : the scale aperture. The range is [0, 360]. C: Default is 180.0. Q: When queried, this flag returns a float.
projectionScaleV / psv		float
	This flag specifies the height of the map relative to the 3D projection axis : the scale height. C: Default is 90.0. Q: When queried, this flag returns a float.
radius / r		float
rotate / ro		float, float, float
	This flag specifies the mapping rotate angles. C: Default is 0.0 0.0 0.0. Q: When queried, this flag returns a float[3].
rotateX / rx		float
	This flag specifies X mapping rotate angle. C: Default is 0.0. Q: When queried, this flag returns a float[3].
rotateY / ry		float
	This flag specifies Y mapping rotate angle. C: Default is 0.0. Q: When queried, this flag returns a float.
rotateZ / rz		float
	This flag specifies Z mapping rotate angle. C: Default is 0.0. Q: When queried, this flag returns a float.
rotationAngle / ra		float
	This flag specifies the rotation angle in the mapping space. When the angle is positive, then the map rotates counterclockwise on the mapped model, whereas when it is negative then the map rotates clockwise on the mapped model. C: Default is 10.0. Q: When queried, this flag returns a float.
seamCorrect / sc		bool
	This flag specifies to perform a seam correction on the mapped faces.
smartFit / sf		bool
	This flag specifies if the manipulator should be placed best fitting the object, or be placed on the specified position with the specified transformation values. Default is on.
worldSpace / ws		bool
	This flag specifies which reference to use. If on : all geometrical values are taken in world reference. If off : all geometrical values are taken in object reference. C: Default is off. Q: When queried, this flag returns an int. Common flags

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Create a sphere with default UVs.
pm.polySphere( n='sphere', r=10 )

# Create a lambert node.
pm.shadingNode( 'lambert', '-n', 'myLambert', asShader=True )
pm.sets( renderable=True, noSurfaceShader=True, empty=True, name='myLambertSG' )
pm.connectAttr( 'myLambert.outColor', 'myLambertSG.surfaceShader', f=True )

# Create a texture checker.
pm.shadingNode( 'checker', asTexture=True )
pm.shadingNode( 'place2dTexture', asUtility=True )
pm.connectAttr( 'place2dTexture1.outUV', 'checker1.uv' )

# Assign the texture the the lambert node.
pm.connectAttr( 'checker1.outColor', 'myLambert.color', f=True )

# Set the textured display mode.
currentPanel = pm.getPanel(withFocus= True)
if currentPanel != '':
        pm.modelEditor(currentPanel, edit=True, da='smoothShaded', displayTextures=True, dl='default')

# Assign the lambert shader to all faces of the sphere.
pm.sets('sphere.f[0:399]', edit=True, forceElement= 'myLambertSG' )

# Replace default UVs on the top of the sphere :
# Rotates the map of 45 degrees and reduces its aperture to 20 degrees in both directions
pm.polySphericalProjection( 'sphere.f[180:359]', 'sphere.f[380:399]', ra=45.0, pc=(0, 0, 0), ps=(20, 20) )

# Set the wireframe display mode.
currentPanel = pm.getPanel(withFocus= True)
if currentPanel != '':
        pm.modelEditor(currentPanel, edit=True, da='wireframe')
