help on cmds.ls flag options

[Anonymous]

Hi guys,

I am trying to use cmds.ls with the flag of material=True to get the name dag object and linked material of my selected objects in maya. However I am not getting back the material information.

This is the code line I have;

cmds.ls( dag=True, ap=True, sl=True, mat=True, textures=True )

I am getting back;

[u'pipeline_pipeline1:pTorus1', u'pipeline_pipeline1:pTorusShape1']

And I have selected a Thorus geometry with a Blinn shader linked to it. Any thought of how I could get back also the shader?

Many thanks in advance!

Joan

Hi,

This May Help....

import maya.cmds as cmds
SlObj =  cmds.ls(dag=1,o=1,s=1,sl=1)
print SlObj
list = cmds.listConnections(SlObj,type ='shadingEngine')
print list
shaders = cmds.ls(cmds.listConnections(list),materials=1) 
print shaders

Best regards,
