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.

Return value

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

Flags

Long name (short name)	Argument types	Properties
Common flags
name(n)	string
Give a name to the resulting node.
constructionHistory(ch)	boolean
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
Toggle caching for all attributes so that no recomputation is needed
nodeState(nds)	int
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

Flag can appear in Create mode of command	Flag can appear in Edit mode of command
Flag can appear in Query mode of command	Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Python examples

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
cmds.polyColorSet(delete=True, colorSet='colorSet1')
