Target info¶

API reference¶

ngSkinTools2.api.target_info.get_related_skin_cluster(target)[source]¶

Returns skinCluster if provided node name represents skinned mesh. Returns true for shapes that have skinCLuster in their deformation stack, or it’s a skinCluster node itself.

For invalid targets, returns None

ngSkinTools2.api.target_info.get_related_data_node(target)[source]¶

Returns: ngSkinTools data node name for this target

ngSkinTools2.api.target_info.unserialize_influences_from_json_data(info)[source]¶

ngSkinTools2.api.target_info.list_influences(target)[source]¶

List influences in the given skin cluster as InfluenceInfo objects

Parameters: target (str) – target mesh or skin cluster
Return type: list[InfluenceInfo]

ngSkinTools2.api.target_info.add_influences(influences, target)[source]¶

A shortcut for adding additional influences to a skincluster, without impacting existing weights

Parameters

influences (list[str]) – list of influence paths
target (str) – target mesh or skin cluster

ngSkinTools2.api.target_info.is_slow_mode_skin_cluster(target)[source]¶

returns true, if ngSkinTools chose to use slow ngSkinTools api for this target. Right now this only happens when skinCluster has non-transform nodes as influences (e.g. inverseMatrix node).

Parameters: target (str) – target mesh or skin cluster
