pymel.core.effects.setFluidAttr¶
- setFluidAttr(*args, **kwargs)¶
Sets values of built-in fluid attributes such as density, velocity, etc., for individual grid cells or for all cells in the grid.
Flags:
Long Name / Short Name Argument Types Properties addValue / ad bool Add specified value to attribute attribute / at unicode Specifies the fluid attribute for which to set values. Valid attributes are velocity, density, fuel, color, falloff, and temperature. clear / cl bool Set this attribute to 0 floatRandom / fr float If this was a scalar (e.g. density) attribute, use a random value in +-VALUE If fv is specified, it is used as the base value and combined with the random value. If the fv flag is not specified, the base is assumed to be 0. floatValue / fv float If this was a scalar (e.g. density) attribute, use this value lowerFace / lf bool Only valid with -at velocity. Since velocity values are stored on the edges of each voxel and not at the center, using voxel based indices to set velocity necessarily affects neighboring voxels. Use this flag to only set velocity components on the lower left three faces of a voxel, rather than all six. reset / re bool Set this attribute to default value vectorRandom / vr float, float, float If this was a vector (e.g. velocity) attribute, use a random value in +-VALUE If vv is specified, it is used as the base value and combined with the random value. If the vv flag is not specified, the base is assumed to be 0,0,0. vectorValue / vv float, float, float If this was a vector (e.g. velocity) attribute, use this value xIndex / xi int Only return values for cells with this X index xvalue / x bool Only set the first component of the vector-valued attribute specified by the -at/attributeflag. yIndex / yi int Only return values for cells with this Y index yvalue / y bool Only set the second component of the vector-valued attribute specified by the -at/attributeflag. zIndex / zi int Only return values for cells with this Z index zvalue / z bool Only set the third component of the vector-valued attribute specified by the -at/attributeflag. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list. Derived from mel command maya.cmds.setFluidAttr
Example:
import pymel.core as pm # set density for entire fluid pm.setFluidAttr( at='density', fv=1.0 ) # add 3.5 to the density at the cell x=1, y=2, z=3 pm.setFluidAttr( at='density', ad=True, fv-3.5, xi=1, yi=2, zi=3 ) # clear the density for the whole fluid pm.setFluidAttr( at='density', cl=True ) # reset the velocity at the cell x=1, y=2, z=3 pm.setFluidAttr( at='velocity', re=True, xi=1, yi=2, zi=3 ) # set the velocity at the centers of the voxels on plane y=5 # to approximately (-1, 0, 0) pm.setFluidAttr( at='velocity', vv=(-1, 0, 0), yi=5 ) # set the Z-component of the velocity at the bottom of cell [0, 0, 0] # to exactly 1.3 pm.setFluidAttr( at='velocity', z=True, xi=0, yi=0, zi=0, fv=1.3 ) # set the X-component of the velocity at the right of cell [5, 3, 2] # (which is also the left of cell [6, 3, 2]) to exactly 4.8 pm.setFluidAttr( at='velocity', x=True, xi=5, yi=3, zi=2, fv=4.8 ) # set the density to a random value in the range 0.1 to 0.9 # the fv flag specfies the base value, and then we add a a # random value in the range of -fr to +fr pm.setFluidAttr( at='density', fv=0.5, fr=0.4 )
