New primitive and Class object

Anonymous

Is there a possibility to create our own primitive ? I mean, we create a teapot for example and we add it as a new primitive in the custum shield.

 

Other question, but similar. From a meash (a shape) we create, (teapot again for example), is there a possibility to tell to Maya to make an class object from the teapot we design. When I say "class objet", this is in the sense of Object Oriented Programming.

 

Thanks

John

Hi John,

 

Yes, you can make your own custom shapes in C++ or Python using the Maya API but it requires programming knowledge.

If you just want your own library of predefined shapes without creating custom plug-ins that can be done using the Content Browser
