Synopsis

polyMoveUV [-caching boolean] [-constructionHistory boolean] [-name string] [-nodeState int] [-pivot float float] [-pivotU float] [-pivotV float] [-random float] [-rotationAngle angle] [-scale float float] [-scaleU float] [-scaleV float] [-translate float float] [-translateU float] [-translateV float]

polyMoveUV is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Moves selected UV coordinates in 2D space. As the selected UVs are adjusted, the way the image is mapped onto the object changes accordingly. This command manipulates the UV values without changing the 3D geometry of the object.

Return value

string The node name.

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

Long name (short name) Argument types Properties
-translate(-t) float float createqueryedit
This flag specifies the translation vector.
C: Default is 0.0 0.0.
Q: When queried, this flag returns a float[2].
-translateU(-tu) float createqueryedit
This flag specifies the U translation vector.
C: Default is 0.0.
Q: When queried, this flag returns a float.
-translateV(-tv) float createqueryedit
This flag specifies the V translation vector.
C: Default is 0.0.
Q: When queried, this flag returns a float.
-rotationAngle(-ra) angle createqueryedit
Angle of rotation.
C: Default is 0.0.
Q: When queried, this flag returns a float.
-scale(-s) float float createqueryedit
This flag specifies the scaling vector.
C: Default is 1.0 1.0.
Q: When queried, this flag returns a float.
-scaleU(-su) float createqueryedit
This flag specifies U for the scaling vector.
C: Default is 1.0.
Q: When queried, this flag returns a float.
-scaleV(-sv) float createqueryedit
This flag specifies V for the scaling vector.
C: Default is 1.0.
Q: When queried, this flag returns a float.
-pivot(-pvt) float float createqueryedit
This flag specifies the pivot for scaling and rotation.
C: Default is 0.0 0.0.
Q: When queried, this flag returns a float[2].
-pivotU(-pvu) float createqueryedit
This flag specifies U for the pivot for scaling and rotation.
C: Default is 0.0.
Q: When queried, this flag returns a float.
-pivotV(-pvv) float createqueryedit
This flag specifies V for the pivot for scaling and rotation.
C: Default is 0.0.
Q: When queried, this flag returns a float.
-random(-ran) float createqueryedit
This flag specifies the random value for all parameters.
C: Default is 0.0. The range is [-10.0, 10.0].
Q: When queried, this flag returns a float. Common flags
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
