Hi there,
Ok, I'm not trying to spam the boards, but I posted this in the general maya forum and it was suggested that I post it here...
Anyway, my problem is that I'm calling subdivideFaces (vs2005, maya 8.5) and it seems like, although the surface is updated, the *number of faces* the mesh thinks it has never changes somehow.
Ok so after I do this:
MFnMesh meshFn( path ); //path is a MDagPath I've passed into the function
int numPolygons = meshFn.numPolygons();
MIntArray faceList( numPolygons );
for(int i=0; i<numPolygons; i++) {
faceList[i]=i;
}
meshFn.subdivideFaces(faceList,1);
meshFn.updateSurface();
I call this:
MItMeshPolygon faceIter( path );
cout << "numFaces after: " << faceIter.count() << endl;
and (on a cube that's been subdivided) it prints out 6. Meaning, it thinks that there are still only 6 faces (right?). The interesting thing is that when I actually iterate through it...
while(!faceIter.isDone()) {
MPointArray verts;
faceIter.getPoints( verts, MSpace::kWorld, &status) ;
//...some stuff that saves the face...
faceIter.next();
}
...the 6 faces it gives me have vertices that indicate they are part of the subdivided group. It's like, if I could just update the number of faces it *thinks* it has, it would work correctly. Thoughts?
Thanks for your help in advance!
