maxscript: getFulltransform always returns same matrix
« on: July 18, 2014, 05:00:45 PM »
Hello,

like stated in the subject i'm trying to get the transformations of each tree in a forest object, but the getFulltransform function always returns "(matrix3 [1,0,0] [0,1,0] [0,0,1] [0,0,0])" for every tree in my forest no matter what the local transform is. I assume that's not really the expected behaviour.

best regards,
chris

Hi Chris,

Could you please double check what values you'll get with code attached below for selected Forest object? Thanks in advance.

global count = $.trees.count() - 1
for i = 0 to count do
   (
      local t = ($.trees.getFullTransform i)
      print t
   )


Hope you'll find it useful.

Kind regards,

clw

Hi Michal,

thanks for the quick response. I should have posted my code in the original post as it is functionally the same as the snippet you posted hence the result is the same. All trees return "(matrix3 [1,0,0] [0,1,0] [0,0,1] [0,0,0])". I tried in current (4.2.4) Forest Pro and Lite as well as with Pro 3.8.1 with the same result. My actual goal is to export postition, rotation and scale for all trees in the scene so i'm open to any workarounds if there are some.

Thanks,
Chris
