Synopsis

deformerEvaluator [-active] [-asNodeName] [-asText] [-chains] [-deformerChain] [-deformers] [-dumpInfo] [-list] [-members] [-meshes] [-message] [-nodeInfo] [-nodeStatus] [-partition] [-verbose boolean]

deformerEvaluator is NOT undoable, queryable, and NOT editable.

Return value

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

Keywords

Flags

Long name (short name)	Argument types	Properties
-active(-act)
Modifier to specify that instead of the current selection all active nodes on the GPU should be queried.
-asNodeName(-nm)
Modifier to specify that when a certain node attribute is queried it should return the name of the node instead. This is useful when querying multiple nodes at a time and the results need to be lined up with the node names.
-asText(-txt)
Modifier to specify that when the node state is queried the state should be returned as text instead of a numeric code
-chains(-c)
List information about all supported deformation chains.
-deformerChain(-dch)
Query the state of the nodes in the deformation chain of the specified meshes.
-deformers(-d)
Return a list of all currently registered GPU deformers.
-dumpInfo(-di)
List information about all supported deformation chains as JSON.
-list(-ls)
Return a list of nodes that are currently active on the GPU.
-members(-mbr)
Return the names of the nodes that are in the same cluster as the specified nodes.
-meshes(-m)
Modifier to specify that only meshes need to be queried.
-message(-msg)
Return the messages associated with the specified nodes.
-nodeInfo(-ni)
List all the information gathered during partitioning about the selected nodes
-nodeStatus(-ns)
Return the state of the node on the GPU. When queried it will return a numeric code unless the asText flag is used as well.
-partition(-prt)
Flag to force a repartition (for debug purposes only)
-verbose(-v)	boolean
Print more verbose information of other flags.

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 be used more than once in a command.
