lukpazera / cmdTextValueHint.py
Created September 7, 2018 11:21
This command shows how to set up text hints for an integer command argument in python. Courtesy of James O'Hare.
#python

my_hint = ( (0, 'zero' ),
(1, 'one' ),
(-1, 'minusone' ),)

lukpazera / printChannelPackages.py
Created August 29, 2018 09:39
Script that prints out channel package for each channel of the first selected item.
import modo
item = modo.Scene().selected[0]
chanCount = item.internalItem.ChannelCount()
chanList = []
for i in xrange(chanCount - 1, -1, -1):
try:
package = item.internalItem.ChannelPackage(i)
except LookupError:
lx.out(item.internalItem.ChannelName(i))

Very simple script that renames selected items by adding a string prefix to each item's current name.

lukpazera / cmdMatchXfrm.py
Created July 2, 2013 11:11
This is python translation of Matt Cox's matchXfrm.cpp C++ command and was done as an exercise while learning MODO python API. Matt's original: https://gist.github.com/mattcox/4742206
#python
""" Match Item Transforms.
Command matches transforms of one item to another.
Select 2 or more items and all items will be matched to last selected one.
I'm not author of this command.

lukpazera / cmdItemArg.py
Last active January 28, 2016 14:48
One way to pass item argument to command. Doing the same by using lx.eval and passing item ident is much easier though.
import modo
item = modo.Scene().selected[0]
cmdSvc = lx.service.Command()
cmd = cmdSvc.Spawn(lx.symbol.iCTAG_NULL, 'texture.reference')
attr = lx.object.Attributes(cmd)
val = attr.Value(attr.Lookup("item"), True)
valRef = lx.object.ValueReference(val)
valRef.SetObject(item)
cmd.Execute(lx.symbol.fCMD_EXEC_DEFAULT)

lukpazera / cmdItemAimAt.py
Last active December 19, 2015 17:49
Implements a simple command that replicates what Direction Constraint does. It allows to aim one item at another using third item as an up vector.
#python
""" Aim Item Command.
Command sets one item (source item) rotation so that it
points at another item (target item) with an upvector defined
by third item (up vector item).
Command essentially replicates what Direction Constraint does.
Only it just applies rotation to the source item only at a current frame and action.

lukpazera / customItemDraw.py
Last active December 19, 2015 02:49
This sample implements custom item that draws a circle in viewport. Circle's size and axis can be defined using item's custom channels. You can edit these custom channels in channel list (they won't show up in properties).
# python
""" Custom item drawing a shape.
