Maya API - updating deformer

#1

Hi,
whats the proper way to force a deformer to evaluate on time change? Or in general how to make a compute or deform methods to be called on time change?

Hi

I’m not an expert on Maya API by any means, but if you have an output plug (to say a new mesh for example), that should initiate the ‘compute’ method when the frame is updated. Does that make sense?

Well, solved it by adding an attribute from the API (this is important) and connected the time1.outTime to it. Thats it:)
