pymel.core.modeling.subdAutoProjection

subdAutoProjection(*args, **kwargs)

Projects a texture map onto an object, using several orthogonal projections simultaneously. The argument is a face selection list.

Flags:

Long name (short name)		Argument Types	Properties
caching (cch)		bool
constructionHistory (ch)		bool
	Turn the construction history on or off (where applicable).Flag can appear in Create mode of commandFlag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
layout (l)		int
	What layout algorithm should be used:0 UV pieces are aligned along the U axis.1 UV pieces are moved in a square shape.
layoutMethod (lm)		int
name (n)		unicode
	Name the resulting object.
nodeState (nds)		int
optimize (o)		int
	Use two different flavors for the cut generation.0 Every face is assigned to the best plane. This optimizes the map distortion.1 Small UV pieces are incorporated into larger ones, when the extra distortion introduced is reasonable. This tends to produce fewer UV pieces.
percentageSpace (ps)		float
	When layout is set to square, this value is a percentage of the texture area which is added around each UV piece. It can be used to ensure each UV piece uses different pixels in the texture.Maximum value is 5 percent.
planes (p)		int
	Number of intermediate projections used. Valid numbers are 4, 5, 6, 8, and 12.C: Default is 6.
scale (sc)		int
	How to scale the pieces, after projections:0 No scale is applied.1 Uniform scale to fit in unit square.2 Non proportional scale to fit in unit square.
skipIntersect (si)		bool
	When on, self intersection of UV pieces are not tested. This makes the projection faster and produces fewer pieces, but may lead to overlaps in UV space.
worldSpace (ws)		bool
	This flag specifies which reference to use. If “on” : all geometrical values are taken in world reference. If “off” : all geometrical values are taken in object reference.C: Default is “off”.Common flags

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Create a subd sphere with default UVs.
mel.eval( "createSubdSphereProc" )

# Automatic projections with 6 planes.
