Maya API 2.0 get vertices/faces faster than converting selection?

[j.victor.ferreira]

Hey guys!

Could somebody help me?

There is a way to get vertices of a face in API, faster than converting selection with polyListComponentConversion?

Thanks a lot!

If you're going to shotgun your question across the interwebs, at least be kind enough to link to your other posts.

hey marcus!

nice to see u here in autodesk forum. 🙂

and thanks again for trying to help me in google chat!

Lemme help you to feel better!

Sharing the same question in more than one forum in the web is not a wrong thing to do, and it doesn´t looks like "shotgun in interwebs". (it sounds too much dramatic, sorry)

The most artists are not on the same platforms, and posting on more than one, creates more interaction, so more different solutions.

Thanks for the idea to post the another platform link, but I would say that writing a reply like yours, is definitely not kind enough.

Hope it help u for your next reply, buddy! 😄

Hey! problem solved:

def buildFaceVertList(fnMesh):
    cursor, out = 0, []
    counts, idxs = fnMesh.getVertices()
    for i, count in enumerate(counts):
        out.append(idxs[cursor: cursor + count])
        cursor += count
    return out

hey buddy @negow please let me know if you are still trying to understand the question!

cheers!
