pymel.core.modeling.subdToPoly¶

subdToPoly(*args, **kwargs)¶

This command tessellates a subdivision surface and produces polygon. The name of the new polygon is returned. If construction history is ON, then the name of the new dependency node is returned as well.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
addUnderTransform / aut		bool
applyMatrixToResult / amr		bool
	If true, the matrix on the input geometry is applied to the object and the resulting geometry will have identity matrix on it. If false the conversion is done on the local space object and the resulting geometry has the input object’s matrix on it. Default:true
caching / cch		bool
	Modifies the node caching mode. See the node documentation for more information. Note:For advanced users only.
connectShaders / cs		bool
	If true, all shader assignment will be copied from the original subdiv surface to the converted polygonal surface. Default:true
constructionHistory / ch		bool
	Turn the construction history on or off (where applicable).
copyUVTopology / cut		bool
	Copy over uv topology (shared/unshared) from the original subdivision surface to the converted polygonal mesh. Default:false
depth / d		int
	The depth at which constant-depth tessellates the surface Default:0
extractPointPosition / epp		bool
	Determines how the position of a mesh point is calculated If on the position of the mesh point is returned. If off the position of the point of the surface is returned. Default:false
format / f		int
	Format: 0 - Uniform1 - Adaptive2 - Polygon Count3 - VerticesDefault:0
frozen / fzn		bool
inSubdCVId / inSubdCVId		int, int
	Input CV Id
inSubdCVIdLeft / isl		int
	Higher 32 bit integer of the input CV Id
inSubdCVIdRight / isr		int
	Lower 32 bit integer of the input CV Id
maxPolys / mp		int
	The maximum number of polygons at which by polygons tessellates. If this attribute is greater than zero, it will override the sample count and depth attributes. Default:0
name / n		unicode
	Name the resulting object.
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 depend node (where applicable). Advanced flags
outSubdCVId / os		int, int
	Output CV Id
outSubdCVIdLeft / osl		int
	Higher 32 bit integer of the output CV Id
outSubdCVIdRight / osr		int
	Lower 32 bit integer of the output CV Id
outv / ov		int
	Out Vertices corresponding to the inSubDCVs.
preserveVertexOrdering / pvo		bool
	Preserve vertex ordering in conversion Default:true
sampleCount / sc		int
	The number of samples per face Default:1
shareUVs / suv		bool
	Force sharing of uvs on all common vertices - the value of this attribute gets overridden by the value of the copyUVTopology attribute. Default:false
subdNormals / un		bool
	Keep subdiv surface normals Default:false Common flags

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.subdToPoly

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# To create a new polygon from a subdivision surface:
pm.subdToPoly( 'subd1' )
