pymel.core.animation.geomBind¶

geomBind(*args, **kwargs)¶

This command is used to compute weights using geodesic voxel binding algorithm. It works by setting the right weights values on an already-existing skinCluster node. In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
bindMethod / bm		int
	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		int, bool
	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 have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.geomBind

Example:

::

import pymel.core as pm

# 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.) # pm.select( ‘skinCluster1’, r=True ) pm.select( ‘skinCluster2’, add=True ) pm.geomBind( bm=0, fo=0, mi=5 );
