TOWER - Card house floor - JoakimMellergard

JoakimMellergard

Thought the tower was a fun initiative so I decided to participate with a little something. Heres my first WIP post of my card house that I guarantee will be strong enough to carry the floors above
Ill be using 3 uv sets for diffuse/specular, normal and AO to save texture space.

Placing/Copy all the cards got very tedious so I made a script which makes a copy of a card in my "source pile" and moves it to the position of the "building card". This way I can move and rotate two cards and in the end select all of the "building cards" and replace them with random cards. Heres the script:

import maya.cmds as cmds
import random

sourceCards = cmds.ls(sl=True)
print(random.choice(sourceCards))

for i in cmds.ls(sl=True):
    posX = cmds.getAttr(i+".translateX")
    posY = cmds.getAttr(i+".translateY")
    posZ = cmds.getAttr(i+".translateZ")
    rotX = cmds.getAttr(i+".rotateX")
    rotY = cmds.getAttr(i+".rotateY")
    rotZ = cmds.getAttr(i+".rotateZ")
    
    newCard = cmds.duplicate(random.choice(sourceCards))
    cmds.setAttr(newCard[0]+".translate", posX,posY,posZ, type="double3")
    cmds.setAttr(newCard[0]+".rotate", rotX,rotY,rotZ, type="double3")
    cmds.rename(newCard[0], "Card01")
    
    cmds.delete(i)
