paya.runtime.networks.CurveUpVectorAimCurveSampler

class CurveUpVectorAimCurveSampler(*args, **kwargs)

Inheritance

CurveUpVectorSampler System Network Network DependNode DependNode PyNode ProxyUnicode

Works similarly to the ‘aim curve’ mode of a curveWarp deformer.

Note

Returned vectors won’t be perpendicular to curve tangents, with the expectation that they will be perpendicularized during subsequent matrix construction.

classmethod create(curve, aimCurve, closestPoint=True)

Parameters

• curve (str, paya.runtime.nodes.NurbsCurve, paya.runtime.nodes.Transform, paya.runtime.plugs.NurbsCurve) – the curve on which to create the sampler

• aimCurve (str, paya.runtime.nodes.NurbsCurve, paya.runtime.nodes.Transform, paya.runtime.plugs.NurbsCurve) – the curve from which to pull per-point aiming interests

• closestPoint/cp (bool) – pull points from aimCurve by proximity rather than matched parameter; defaults to True

Returns

The network system.

Return type

CurveUpVectorAimCurveSampler

classmethod _create(curve, aimCurve, closestPoint=True)

Parameters

• curve (str, paya.runtime.nodes.NurbsCurve, paya.runtime.nodes.Transform, paya.runtime.plugs.NurbsCurve) – the curve on which to create the sampler

• aimCurve (str, paya.runtime.nodes.NurbsCurve, paya.runtime.nodes.Transform, paya.runtime.plugs.NurbsCurve) – the curve from which to pull per-point aiming interests

• closestPoint/cp (bool) – pull points from aimCurve by proximity rather than matched parameter; defaults to True

Returns

The network system.

Return type

CurveUpVectorAimCurveSampler

byClosestPoint()

Returns

True if this sampler was configured to use closest-point calculations, otherwise False.

Return type

bool

aimCurve()

Returns

The aim curve output connected to this system.

Return type

NurbsCurve
