Programming Interface Overview Maya Programming Interface Overview CIS682

Programming Interfaces MEL - Maya Embedded Language Scripting language Interpreted Fast prototyping, slow execuation C++ Powerful, fast Class libraries CIS682

Maya Architecture CIS682

Dependency Graph (DG) Data flow model DG - heart of Maya Data manipulated by series of operations Pipeline Push-pull model DG - heart of Maya Data and operations represented as nodes Network of nodes to perform task Add functionality by defining new node CIS682

The Scene Entire 3D graphics state - the DG Models Animations Textures Lights cameras Programming interfaces hide much of DG complexity CIS682

Data Flow Nodes Attributes - properties of a node Input/output Compute function time nurbsSphere1 NurbsSphere1_translateX CIS682

NODE node input output Compute() CIS682

Node attributes node pointA (compound) node x (float) size(float) y (float) z (float) CIS682

Node node points (array) [0] point compound x (float) y (float) z (float) [1] point compound x (float) y (float) z (float) […] point compound CIS682

Compute Function Output = compute(input0, …, inputN) Input and output attributes are LOCAL Black box Interface: input and output attributes CIS682

Dependent Attributes Volume = compute(sphereSize) attributeAffects( sphereSize, volume) sphereVolume sphereSize (float) volume (float) CIS682

Time Example of node that only holds data Current time in time node named time1 Moving frame slider or click on Play sets time time outTime (time) CIS682

Connecting Nodes Connect nodes by connecting node attributes Attribute can only connect to attribute of same type Maya handles flow of data; node not ‘aware’ of connections Connections: one-to-many mappings When connections broken, node retains value CIS682

DAG nodes Directed Acyclic Graph DAG nodes form Shape-Transform hierarchy DAG nodes are in DG - they are DG nodes Some DAG nodes connect to non-DAG DG nodes Some DAG nodes may not be connected to any non-DAG nodes Maya shows either DAG hierarchy or connected DG nodes, not both simultaneously CIS682

DAG and DG nodes transform time animCurve transform shape CIS682

Shape Nodes Meshes NURBS curves and surfaces Springs Camera Lights Particles Etc. CIS682

Transform Nodes Shape node can’t exist without a transform node Shape node holds the data Transform node transforms from objects space to world space nurbsSphere2 nurbsSphereShape2 CIS682

Dependent Attributes attributeAffects( width, areaOfTop) attributeAffects( depth, areaOfTop) attributeAffects( areaOfTop, volume) attributeAffects( height, volume) boxMetrics width (float) depth (float) height (float) volume (float) areaOfTop (float) dependent CIS682
