Synopsis

fluidVoxelInfo([checkBounds=boolean], [inBounds=[int, int, int]], [objectSpace=boolean], [radius=float], [voxel=[float, float, float]], [voxelCenter=boolean], [xIndex=int], [yIndex=int], [zIndex=int])

Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.

fluidVoxelInfo is NOT undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT editable.

Provides basic information about the mapping of a fluid voxel grid into world- or object space of the fluid. Use this command to determine the center point of a voxel, or to find the voxel containing a given point, among other things.

Flags

checkBounds, inBounds, objectSpace, radius, voxel, voxelCenter, xIndex, yIndex, zIndex
Long name (short name) Argument types Properties
objectSpace(os) boolean create
Whether the queried value should be returned in object space (TRUE), or world space (FALSE, the default).
voxelCenter(vc) boolean create
The center position of the specified voxels. Returns an array of floats (three for each of the indices in the query). (Valid only with the -xIndex, -yIndex, and -zIndex flags.)
voxel(v) [float, float, float] create
Returns array of three ints representing the x, y, z indices of the voxel within which the given point position is contained. If the checkBounds flag is on, and the point is out of bounds, we return nothing. Otherwise, even if the point is out of bounds, index values are returned. When combined with the -radius flag, returns an array of index triples representing a list of voxels within a given radius of the given point position.
checkBounds(cb) boolean create
If this flag is on, and the voxel index of a point that is out of bounds is requested, then we return nothing.
inBounds(ib) [int, int, int] create
Are the three ints representing the x, y, z indices of a voxel within the bounds of the fluid's voxel grid? True if yes, false if not. (For 2D fluids, pass in z=0 for the third argument. See examples.)
xIndex(xi) int create
Only return values for cells with this X index
yIndex(yi) int create
Only return values for cells with this Y index
zIndex(zi) int create
Only return values for cells with this Z index
radius(r) float create
Modifier for the -voxel flag. Returns a list of index triples identifying voxels that fall within the given radius of the point specified by the -voxel flag.
