pymel.core.modeling.uvSnapshot

uvSnapshot(*args, **kwargs)

Builds an image containg the UVs of the selected objects.

Flags:

Long name (short name)		Argument Types	Properties
antiAliased (aa)		bool
	When this flag is set, lines are antialiased.
blueColor (b)		int
	Blue component of line drawing. Default is 255.
entireUVRange (euv)		bool
	When this flag is set, the generated image will contain the entire uv range. Default is UV in 0-1 range.
fileFormat (ff)		unicode
	Output file format. Any of those keyword: “iff”, “sgi”, “pic”, “tif”, “als”, “gif”, “rla”, “jpg” Default is iff.Flag can appear in Create mode of commandFlag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
greenColor (g)		int
	Green component of line drawing. Default is 255.
name (n)		unicode
	Name of the file to be created.
overwrite (o)		bool
	When this flag is set, existing file can be ovewritten.
redColor (r)		int
	Red component of line drawing. Default is 255.
uMax (umx)		float
	Optional User Specified Max value for U. Default value is 1. This will take precedence over the “entire range” -euv flag.
uMin (umn)		float
	Optional User Specified Min value for U. Default value is 0. This will take precedence over the “entire range” -euv flag.
uvSetName (uvs)		unicode
	Name of the uv set to use. Default is the current one.
vMax (vmx)		float
	Optional User Specified Max value for V. Default value is 1. This will take precedence over the “entire range” -euv flag.
vMin (vmn)		float
	Optional User Specified Min value for V. Default value is 0. This will take precedence over the “entire range” -euv flag.
xResolution (xr)		int
	Horizontal size of the image. Default is 512.
yResolution (yr)		int
	Vertical size of the image. Default is 512.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.uvSnapshot

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

import maya.cmds as cmds

# Create a polygonal sphere
pm.polySphere()
# Result: [nt.Transform(u'pSphere1'), nt.PolySphere(u'polySphere1')] #
# Save the UVs in a image
pm.uvSnapshot( o=True, n='/tmp/uvImage2.iff', xr=256, yr=256 )
