Re: Python for maya - Renaming and Skinning Multiple joints
ok so I figured out the error, it was because I was trying to connect Chassis_joint to itself. I changed that by having a button in my menu change Chassis_joint to Root_Bone. I have created a few buttons that function properly but there are two buttons which I can't get to work and thats because they are using a string I… -
Re: Python for maya - Renaming and Skinning Multiple joints
Hey sorry Johnm didnt see this before but you mind posting the code you already have? Just having a bit of trouble understanding the function of the ui. -
Re: Python for maya - Renaming and Skinning Multiple joints
What you're looking for is cmds.parents not parentConstraint ;) so in cmds.parent( 'pSphere2_joint', 'pSphere1_joint' ) pSphere2 will the child and pSphere1 joint will be the parent. Also should edit your window code to this: if cmds.window('MyWindow', exists=True): cmds.deleteUI('MyWindow')window =… -
Re: Python for maya - Renaming and Skinning Multiple joints
Mind posting the code? The parent stuff should probably go after the generation of the bones. Ideally you want to split the function of the scripts into well functions. The button would startoff a main procedure (something like autorigStart) which in turn calls helper functions like generating bones, parenting etc.… -
Re: Python for maya - Renaming and Skinning Multiple joints
Hey Johnm sorry for the late reply heres some code to get you started. I think you should start moving stuff into functions as its better than formatting everything into a string. I edited your add button command to: cmds.button( label='Add Object', command=partial(addObject,parentLayout ) ); and the function is def… -

Re: Python for maya - Renaming and Skinning Multiple joints
Hey John, sorry didnt see the bump. So reason why it doesnt work is because geo is a temp variable that is referenced in the for loop (You can call it later in the script too but it would be the last object in the selection list or objects passed in. What you want to do is seperate functionality into functions. This way… -

Re: Python for maya - Renaming and Skinning Multiple joints
