Synopsis

geomBind([bindMethod=uint], [falloff=float], [geodesicVoxelParams=[uint, boolean]], [maxInfluences=int])

Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.

geomBind is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Return value

None

In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Flags

Long name (short name)	Argument types	Properties
bindMethod(bm)	uint
Specifies which bind algorithm to use. By default, Geodesic Voxel will be used. Available algorithms are: 3 - Geodesic Voxel
falloff(fo)	float
Falloff controlling the bind stiffness. Valid values range from [0..1].
geodesicVoxelParams(gvp)	[uint, boolean]
Specifies the geodesic voxel binding parameters. This flag is composed of three parameters: 0 - Maximum voxel grid resolution which must be a power of two. (ie. 64, 128, 256, etc. ) 1 - Performs a post voxel state validation when enabled. Default values are 256 true.
maxInfluences(mi)	int
Specifies the maximum influences a vertex can have. By default, all influences are used (-1).

Flag can appear in Create mode of command	Flag can appear in Edit mode of command
Flag can appear in Query mode of command	Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Python examples

import maya.cmds as cmds

# Compute geodesic voxel weights for skinCluster1 and skinCluster2. This
# command will create a geomBind node connected to the two skinClusters
# and their common bind pose. The geomBind node will maintain the
# geodesic voxel binding parameters used (ie: falloff, resolution, etc.)
#
cmds.select( 'skinCluster1', r=True )
cmds.select( 'skinCluster2', add=True )
cmds.geomBind( bm=0, fo=0, mi=5 );
