Code: int $count = 0; for ($no = 0; $no < 50 ; $no+=2 ) { print ( $no + ""); $count++; if ( $count == 1000 ) break; } This should work, the one big nnoying thing about the script editor is when you select multiple lines and hit tab to indent them they are gone and undo OF COURSE does not bring them back. For a few lines of code its okay, bigger scripts should prolly be done outside of Maya.

Published (2009-11-30 20:57:00)
Some other findings: The source of your eval issues is the closeCurve call. If you comment that out, it all works. What's likely happening is that you call closeCurve, but the DG doesn't have a chance to update since it's waiting for the script to end first. Since the closeCurve part isn't critical to your script's flow, perhaps wrap that in an evalDeferred. I just tested that workflow and it works just fine. So...

Hmmm, but for MFnMeshData I don`t have generateSmoothMesh, do I? I am not quite sure how I would use that to generate a smooth version of the sourceMesh, then.

computePolysetVolume math insight?
Published (2009-11-29 02:39:00)
Here's a quote from the mel doc on computePolysetVolume : Quote: The method uses the divergence theorem: \int_{vol} Div(f) dV = int_{surf} Dot(f,n) dS Would anyone shed some light on this ? Maybe the formatting is confusing me.. and I can't seem to google it properly...

registerUI from Python API
Published (2009-11-27 10:16:00)
Does anyone know how to use registerUI in a plugin written in Python so that you can call a MEL script when the plugin is loaded? I had assumed plugin.registerUI("myMELproc", "", "", "") would work, but it seems to want pointers, and I couldn't find an example in the devkit examples. thanks Simon

I don't have a particular resource in mind, but from experience Maya will execute mel command from left to right, from top line to bottom, unless you source a procedure into memory in which case it will only get executed after you call the proc, and even then it does the same thing: left to right, top to bottom. You can tell mel to skip certain portions of your code based on pre-conditions. ...

A tip for anything that tool that saves to html , test it in FireFox, Chrome, IE, Safari, etc. Your table cells have bgcolor="D5E1E8" which is invalid, IE lets it work, FireFox doesn't. You should use bgcolor="#D5E1E8" or better yet, put it into css.
