This command computes a skinned (lofted) surface passing through a number of NURBS curves. There must be at least two curves present. The NURBS curves may be surface isoparms, curve on surfaces, trimmed edges or polygon edges.
Flags:
Long Name / Short Name | Argument Types | Properties | |
---|---|---|---|
autoReverse / ar | bool | ![]() ![]() ![]() |
|
If set to true, the direction of the curves for the loft is computed automatically. If set to false, the values of the multi-use reverse flag are used instead. Default:true |
|||
caching / cch | bool | ![]() ![]() ![]() |
|
|
|||
close / c | bool | ![]() ![]() ![]() |
|
If set to true, the resulting surface will be closed (periodic) with the start (end) at the first curve. If set to false, the surface will remain open. Default:false |
|||
constructionHistory / ch | bool | ![]() |
|
|
|||
createCusp / cc | bool | ![]() ![]() ![]() |
|
Multi-use flag; each occurence of the flag refers to the matching curve in the loft operation; if the flag is set the particular profile will have a cusp (tangent break) in the resulting surface. Default:false Advanced flags |
|||
degree / d | int | ![]() ![]() ![]() |
|
|
|||
frozen / fzn | bool | ||
name / n | unicode | ![]() |
|
Sets the name of the newly-created node. If it contains namespace path, the new node will be created under the specified namespace; if the namespace does not exist, it will be created. |
|||
nodeState / nds | int | ![]() ![]() ![]() |
|
|
|||
object / o | bool | ![]() |
|
|
|||
polygon / po | int | ![]() |
|
The value of this argument controls the type of the object created by this operation 0: nurbs surface1: polygon (use nurbsToPolygonsPref to set the parameters for the conversion)2: subdivision surface (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the parameters for the conversion)3: Bezier surface4: subdivision surface solid (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the parameters for the conversion) |
|||
range / rn | bool | ![]() |
|
|
|||
rebuild / rb | bool | ![]() |
|
Rebuild the input curve(s) before using them in the operation. Use nurbsCurveRebuildPref to set the parameters for the conversion. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list. |
|||
reverse / r | bool | ![]() ![]() ![]() |
|
Multi-use flag; each occurence of the flag refers to the matching curve in the loft operation; if the flag is set the particular curve will be reversed before being used in the loft operation. Default:false |
|||
reverseSurfaceNormals / rsn | bool | ![]() ![]() ![]() |
|
|
|||
sectionSpans / ss | int | ![]() ![]() ![]() |
|
|
|||
uniform / u | bool | ![]() ![]() ![]() |
|
If set to true, the resulting surface will have uniform parameterization in the loft direction. If set to false, the parameterization will be chord length. Default:false |
Derived from mel command maya.cmds.loft
Example:
import pymel.core as pm
# A loft across two curves: curve1, curve2. Curve ranges
# have been enabled on the curves. The curves will be reversed
# internally if needed to avoid a bowtie looking surface.
pm.curve( d=3, p=( (-11, 0, 0), (-13, 0, -4), (-17, 0, -15), (-4.7, 0, -10), (1, 0, -8 ) ) )
# Result: nt.Transform(u'curve1') #
pm.curve( d=3, p=( (-2, 0, 5), (-2, 0, 3), (-2, 0, -1), (4, 0, 0), (7, 0, 0 ) ) )
# Result: nt.Transform(u'curve2') #
pm.loft( 'curve1', 'curve2', ch=True, rn=True, ar=True )
# Result: [nt.Transform(u'loftedSurface1'), nt.Loft(u'loft1')] #
