Hi,

I just finished re-reading the COFFEE introduction to Matrices and Vectors.
It was a nice read, but I noticed, comparing it to the equal Python Docs chapter ("Matrix fundamentals") that the last part about Vectors and Points was missing from the Python docs.

In that part the essential GetMulP COFFEE function is introduced and since I couldn't find that function in the Python SDK I would like to ask what the equivalence is in Python.

Can we just write M * P if M is a matrix and P is a point?

Thanks for reading!

Andre

PS: There's a typo in the Python version of the Matrix fundamentals:

If Mg is a matrix in global space and Mag is object a's global matrix, then Mag-1*Mg equals the first matrix' in a's local coordinates

I believe it should be

If Mg is a matrix in global space and Mag is object a's global matrix, then Mag^-1*Mg equals the first matrix' in a's local coordinates

Hello
Is in example plugin(Python doc\examples\plugins\) Py-SpherifyModifier?

  
pcnt = mesh.GetPointCount()  
pm = mesh.GetMg()  
padr = mesh.GetAllPoints()  
for i, point in enumerate(padr) : p = pm*point

Ok, so you can multiply a global matrix with a point.

Thanks a lot for replying and thus pointing me into the right direction.

EDIT: Hm, still not working the way I expect it to.... oh well.

I'm tring too.
I try to get size of obj, but one of value is Null(base cube with default settings). with it:

  
    
    
    pm = op.GetMg()  
    padr = op.GetAllPoints()  
    for i, point in enumerate(padr) : p = 2(pm*point) - pm.off

Also tried to convert several coffee-based classes from Per-Anders Edwards's wiki pages(with preserving of copyrights). But there was no success.

Well, I did manage in the end to get it working what I was trying to achieve.
I posted the source for my function that involved this question as well in this forum post here:

Maybe it can help you...

Cheers,

Andre, thanks a'lot for tip-code
I found solution(i need careful to read py4c4d doc). It's BaseObject.GetRad(). I tried to code deformer plugin.
