Maya & Python

[animat99aka]

Dear Support Team,

I'm currently implementing a custom curve in maya with Python. I'm using the MPxSurfaceShape and MPxSurfaceShapeUI class.
I have troubles understanding some of the concepts. Unfortunately I found no examples for implementing a custom shape node with Python, except one for the Maya Python API 2.0 and c++.
Is it possible to get some Python examples of a implementation of a custom shape node?
I have some troubles with the bounding box, the selection of my curve components and maya always crashes on the MPxGeometryIterator.
If you cannot provide me any examples it would be great if I could forward you my error messages, along more detailed information about the troubles I have.

Thanks in adavance

Hi,

I think it would be better to move to Python API 2.0. Some features like component selection(MPxComponentConverter) aren't available in Python API 1.0. I could try to have a look at your sample code, but I can't guarantee it could work as you expected.

Yours,
