MEL

List of mel commands. Most commands do not take any parameters: they use as input the selected objects or components. These commands are mostly used interactively. Command marked with a * take parameters. Cloth syCreateCloth Create a cloth from the selected shape. Return the name of the cloth node. syGetCollideSelf Select the faces for self-collisions on the selected cloth. sySetCollideSelf Set the selected faces for self-collisions on the cloth. *syAddSelfFaces cloth faces Add the faces to the list of self-collisions faces for the cloth. faces is an array of integers (ex: {1,6,34}). *syRemoveSelfFaces cloth faces Removes the faces from the list of self-collisions faces for the cloth. faces is an array of integers (ex: {1,6,34}). Forces *syCreateForce type Creates a force of the specified type. This command is valid for all forces and constraints. *syConnectForce force cloth Connect the force to the cloth. This command is valid for all forces and constraints. Using this command you can connect a force to another cloth. Be careful: not all forces can be connected to more than one cloth. Any force that makes reference to the cloth can't be connected to another cloth. You can connect the following forces to many clothes: - Gravity - Damp - Wind - Air This will work also on the following forces, only if you don't use any faces or vertices of the cloth: - Collision - Magnet *syDisconnectForce force cloth Disconnect the force to the cloth. This command is valid for all forces and constraints. *syIsConnected force cloth Returns 1 if the force is connected to the cloth. Else returns 0. This command is valid for all forces and constraints. syMagnetSet Attach the selected cloth vertices to the selected magnet. syMagnetGet Selects the cloth vertices attached to the selected magnet. syCreateSew Creates a new sySew node, from the selected cloth vertices. Opens a dialog asking for the maximum distance between two points. syCreateSpring Creates a new spring node, from the two selected cloth vertices. Constraints syCreateNail Creates a new nail node, using the selected cloth vertices. syGetNail Selects the cloth vertices from the selected nail. sySetNail Set in the selected nail, the selected cloth vertices. *syAddNail nail vertex_id x y z Add a new vertex to the nail, at position (x,y,z). *syCreatePin Creates a new pin node, using the selected cloth vertices, and the selected shape. syGetPin Selects the cloth vertices from the selected pin. sySetPin Set in the selected pin, the selected cloth vertices. Collisions syCreateCollider Creates a new syCollide node from the selected cloth and shape. syGetCollideFaces Select the faces of the selected collider. sySetCollideFaces Set the faces of the selected collider. syGetCollideVtx Select the cloth vertices of the selected collider. sySetCollideVtx Set the cloth vertices of the selected collider. *syAddCollideFaces collide faces Add faces to the collide node. faces is an array of int (ex: {3,6}) *syRemoveCollideFaces collide faces Remove faces from the collide node. faces is an array of int (ex: {3,6}) *syAddCollideVtx collide vertices Add vertices to the collide node. vertices is an array of int (ex: {3,6}) *syRemoveCollideVtx collide vertices Remove vertices to the collide node. vertices is an array of int. State syStateSetFlex Set the initial state on the select cloth from its current shape. syStateSetMesh Set the initial state on the select cloth from the selected shape. syStateSetDefaultPosition Reset the initial state to the default position. syStateSetDefaultVelocity Reset the initial state to the default velocity (=0). Planes *syPlaneAddForce plane force Restrict the force to one side of the plane. *syPlaneRemoveForce plane force Remove the plane restriction on the specified force. Cache *syCacheWrite shape file Saves the shape vertices in a cache file. *syCacheRead shape file Reads the shape vertices from the cache file. syCacheCreate Creates a new syCache node from the selected shape. Live Mode syLiveStart Start the simulation on the selected cloth. syLiveStop Stop the simulation. Utilities *getArray node.attribute Returns the content of an array attribute (float or int). To set the array, use setAttr -type .... .
