- class Tension(*args, **kwargs)¶
class counterpart of mel function tension
This command is used to create, edit and query tension nodes.
- after(val=True, **kwargs)¶
If the default behavior for insertion/appending into/onto the existing chain is not the desired behavior then this flag can be used to force the command to place the deformer node after the selected node in the chain even if a new geometry shape has to be created in order to do so. Works in create mode (and edit mode if the deformer has no geometry added yet).
Derived from mel command maya.cmds.tension
- afterReference(val=True, **kwargs)¶
The -afterReference flag is used to specify deformer ordering in a hybrid way that choses between -before and -after automatically. If the geometry being deformed is referenced then the -after mode is used when adding the new deformer, otherwise the -before mode is used. The net effect when using -afterReference to build deformer chains is that internal shape nodes in the deformer chain will only appear at reference file boundaries, leading to lightweight deformer networks that may be more amicable to reference swapping.

- before(val=True, **kwargs)¶
If the default behavior for insertion/appending into/onto the existing chain is not the desired behavior then this flag can be used to force the command to place the deformer node before the selected node in the chain even if a new geometry shape has to be created in order to do so. Works in create mode (and edit mode if the deformer has no geometry added yet).
Derived from mel command maya.cmds.tension
- frontOfChain(val=True, **kwargs)¶
This command is used to specify that the new deformer node should be placed ahead (upstream) of existing deformer and skin nodes in the shape’s history (but not ahead of existing tweak nodes). The input to the deformer will be the upstream shape rather than the visible downstream shape, so the behavior of this flag is the most intuitive if the downstream deformers are in their reset (hasNoEffect) position when the new deformer is added. Works in create mode (and edit mode if the deformer has no geometry added yet).

- getDeformerTools(**kwargs)¶
Returns the name of the deformer tool objects (if any) as string string ...
Derived from mel command maya.cmds.tension
- getExclusive(**kwargs)¶
Puts the deformation set in a deform partition.
Derived from mel command maya.cmds.tension
- getGeometry(**kwargs)¶
The specified object will be added to the list of objects being deformed by this deformer object, unless the -rm flag is also specified. When queried, this flag returns string string string ...
Derived from mel command maya.cmds.tension
- getGeometryIndices(**kwargs)¶
Complements the -geometry flag in query mode. Returns the multi index of each geometry.
Derived from mel command maya.cmds.tension
- getInwardConstraint(**kwargs)¶
Constrains the movement of the vertex to not move inward from the input deforming shape to preserve the contour. Value is in the [0,1] range. Default is 0.0.
Derived from mel command maya.cmds.tension
- getOutwardConstraint(**kwargs)¶
Constrains the movement of the vertex to not move outward from the input deforming shape to preserve the contour. Value is in the [0,1] range.
Derived from mel command maya.cmds.tension
- getPinBorderVertices(**kwargs)¶
If enabled, vertices on mesh borders will be pinned to their current position during smoothing. Default is true.
Derived from mel command maya.cmds.tension
- getSmoothingIterations(**kwargs)¶
Number of smoothing iterations performed by the delta mush node. Default is 10.
Derived from mel command maya.cmds.tension
- getSmoothingStep(**kwargs)¶
Step amount used per smoothing iteration. Value is clamped to [0, 1] range. A higher value may lead to instabilities but converges faster compared to a lower value. Default is 0.5.
Derived from mel command maya.cmds.tension
- parallel(val=True, **kwargs)¶
Inserts the new deformer in a parallel chain to any existing deformers in the history of the object. A blendShape is inserted to blend the parallel results together. Works in create mode (and edit mode if the deformer has no geometry added yet).
Derived from mel command maya.cmds.tension
- prune(val=True, **kwargs)¶
Removes any points not being deformed by the deformer in its current configuration from the deformer set.
Derived from mel command maya.cmds.tension
- remove(val=True, **kwargs)¶
Specifies that objects listed after the -g flag should be removed from this deformer.
Derived from mel command maya.cmds.tension
- setGeometry(val=True, **kwargs)¶
The specified object will be added to the list of objects being deformed by this deformer object, unless the -rm flag is also specified. When queried, this flag returns string string string ...
Derived from mel command maya.cmds.tension
- setInwardConstraint(val=True, **kwargs)¶
Constrains the movement of the vertex to not move inward from the input deforming shape to preserve the contour. Value is in the [0,1] range. Default is 0.0.
