Synopsis

polyBlendColor([caching=boolean], [constructionHistory=boolean], [name=string], [nodeState=int])

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

polyBlendColor is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Takes two color sets and blends them together into a third specified color set.

Return value

stringThe node name.

In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Flags

caching, constructionHistory, name, nodeState
Long name (short name) Argument types Properties
Common flags
name(n) string create
Give a name to the resulting node.
constructionHistory(ch) boolean createquery
Turn the construction history on or off (where applicable). If construction history is on then the corresponding node will be inserted into the history chain for the mesh. If construction history is off then the operation will be performed directly on the object.
Note: If the object already has construction history then this flag is ignored and the node will always be inserted into the history chain.
caching(cch) boolean createedit
Toggle caching for all attributes so that no recomputation is needed
nodeState(nds) int createqueryedit
Defines how to evaluate the node.
  • 0: Normal
  • 1: PassThrough
  • 2: Blocking
  • 3: Internally disabled. Will return to Normal state when enabled
  • 4: Internally disabled. Will return to PassThrough state when enabled
  • 5: Internally disabled. Will return to Blocking state when enabled

import maya.cmds as cmds

# This example creates two poly color sets for pPlane1.
# Apply red and green to the vertices of pPlane1 using two separate color sets, then blend their colors to the second color set
# After that, delete the first color set

# Create a poly plane pPlane1
cmds.polyPlane(w=10, h=10, sx=10, sy=10, n='pPlane1')

# Create colorSet1, set to use RGBA channels
cmds.polyColorSet(create=True, clamped=0, rpt='RGBA', colorSet='colorSet1')
# Apply red color to the vertices of pPlane1
cmds.polyColorPerVertex(r=1, g=0, b=0, a=1, cdo=True)

# Create colorSet2, set to use RGBA channels
cmds.polyColorSet(create=True, clamped=0, rpt='RGBA', colorSet='colorSet2')
# Apply green color to the vertices of pPlane1
cmds.polyColorPerVertex(r=0, g=1, b=0, a=1, cdo=True)

# Blend the two color sets to colorSet2, set to use ColorChannel blend style, set all the blend weights to 0.5
cmds.polyBlendColor(bcn='colorSet1', src='colorSet2', dst='colorSet2', bfn=6, bwa=0.5, bwb=0.5, bwc=0.5, bwd=0.5)
# Delete colorSet1
