pymel.core.modeling.blend2¶

blend2(*args, **kwargs)¶

This command creates a surface by blending between given curves. This is an enhancement (more user control) compared to blend which is now obsolete.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
autoAnchor / aa		bool
	If true and both paths are closed, automatically determine the value on the right rail so that they match Default:true
autoNormal / an		bool
	If true, the direction of each starting tangent is computed based on given geometry. Default:true
caching / cch		bool
	Modifies the node caching mode. See the node documentation for more information. Note:For advanced users only.
constructionHistory / ch		bool
	Turn the construction history on or off.
crvsInFirstRail / cfr		int
flipLeftNormal / fln		bool
	If true, flip the starting tangent off the left boundary. Default:false
flipRightNormal / frn		bool
	If true, flip the starting tangent off the right boundary. Default:false
frozen / fzn		bool
leftAnchor / la		float
	The reference parameter on the left boundary where the blend surface starts in the case of the closed rail. Default:0.0
leftEnd / le		float
	The reference parameter on the left boundary where the blend surface ends. Default:1.0
leftStart / ls		float
	The reference parameter on the left boundary where the blend surface starts. Default:0.0
multipleKnots / mk		bool
	If true, use the new blend which produces fully multiple interior knots Default:true
name / n		unicode
	Sets the name of the newly-created node. If it contains namespace path, the new node will be created under the specified namespace; if the namespace does not exist, it will be created.
nodeState / nds		int
	Modifies the node state. See the node documentation for more information. Note:For advanced users only. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
object / o		bool
	Create the result, or just the dependency node.
polygon / po		int
	The value of this argument controls the type of the object created by this operation 0: nurbs surface1: polygon (use nurbsToPolygonsPref to set the parameters for the conversion)2: subdivision surface (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the parameters for the conversion)3: Bezier surface4: subdivision surface solid (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the parameters for the conversion)Advanced flags
positionTolerance / pt		float
	The positional C(0) tolerance of the blend surface to the adjacent surfaces. Default:0.1
reverseLeft / rvl		bool
	If true, reverse the direction off the left boundary. autoDirection must be false for this value to be considered. Default:false
reverseRight / rvr		bool
	If true, reverse the direction of the right boundary. autoDirection must be false for this value to be considered. Default:false
rightAnchor / ra		float
	The reference parameter on the right boundary where the blend surface starts in the case of the closed rail. Default:0.0
rightEnd / re		float
	The reference parameter on the right boundary where the blend surface ends. Default:1.0
rightStart / rs		float
	The reference parameter on the right boundary where the blend surface starts. Default:0.0
tangentTolerance / tt		float
	The tangent G(1) continuity tolerance of the blend surface to the adjacent surfaces. Default:0.1 Common flags

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.blend2

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Do blend with auto normal and with no history:
pm.blend2( an=True, ch=False )

# Do blend without auto normal
pm.blend2( an=False, fln=True, frn=True )
