Automating tyParticleController assignment via Python - Hyperanim8or - 12-31-2020
I have a set of objects that I am using in my sim that I wanted to track using objects in my scene and tie them with tyParticleControllers
To make it easy I just used an export of the Particles from tyFLow.
I wanted to share my code for connecting those new objects with the particles they represented with a tyParticleController...
This only works with one event. So you would have to tweak it to work with multiple events.
Code:
from pymxs import runtime as pyMX
# tyFlow name to get the node
tyFlowName = 'tyFlow_Tentacle'
# tyFlow Prefix for exported nodes
exportNodesPrefix = 'tyFlow_node_'
sceneTyFlow = pyMX.GetNodeByName(tyFlowName)
partList = list(sceneTyFlow.Tentacles.Birth_Objects.shape_list)
numParticles = len(partList)
exportNodes = list(pyMX.readvalue(pyMX.StringStream('$' + exportNodesPrefix + '*')))
for x in range(0,numParticles):
partNode = partList[x]
exportNode = exportNodes[x]
tyCtrl = pyMX.setProperty(pyMX.getSubAnim(exportNode, 3), 'controller', pyMX.tyParticleController())
tyCtrl.flow = sceneTyFlow
tyCtrl.indexIsID = True
tyCtrl.particleID = x
